  • LiveChat basically increased our sales conversions by around 40% maybe. In the past we had situations where website visitors turned on our website, sent a message and we didn't even receive the message, meaning we lose a potential customer. That hasn't happened with LiveChat yet.

  • The increase in conversion to using our trial in under a year has seen a boost of 300 customers. These have come directly from LiveChat.
  • Retention has increased as customers are able to make contact exactly at the point they need, no delays by email or waiting to get through on the phone, the cost to the customer is reduced greatly so this helps us.
