Doesn\u2019t it make sense to make every effort to greet them? Just as a restaurant uses their food quality and service to attract and retain customers, live chat can create customers and improve satisfaction around the clock.<\/p>\n<p>If you take a close look at the meat and potatoes on your website, a staple that can boost your lead count by 40-60 percent like our fully-managed chat support is a must. A waitress won\u2019t ignore a customer seated at a restaurant, auto sales pros don\u2019t ignore customers on the lot, and there is no way car dealers can afford to ignore website visitors by opting for no chat or using a passive or ineffective chat setup.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/carchat24.com\/blog\/\">Effective live chat<\/a> is more than just a homepage link with someone responding in between calls or service appointments. It requires a scientific approach that initiates a conversation with as many visitors as possible, as well as well-trained and scripted operators, and an extremely robust mobile interface.<\/p>\n<p>Few people would choose to have a burger without fries, and performance data prove that live chat from CarChat24 is a valuable addition to dealer websites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Years ago adding chat to a dealership website was like adding ketchup to fries \u2013 a nice add-on, but you could live without it.
