Bots - Building Sales Reps That Never Sleep 💤
The role of a sales representative is simply to persuade people to buy the product or service of the company/brand. And by using chatbots, we can employ a virtual sales-rep on websites and other channels that works for you 24/7, generating new business and improving your conversions.
After all, every conversion starts with a conversation. And with chatbots, we have the ability to automate thousands of conversations with customers, leading them through a journey that is unique to your brand. With the right conversation design, we have the power to influence the user and get them to take the actions you want them to, all while delivering a positive and enjoyable brand experience.
