97: Add This Feature To Your Website And Get More Qualified Leads with David Scheppler


Listen Later

You spend a lot driving online prospects to your website. In today’s interview, you’ll learn how to convert those visitors into qualified leads using live chat. Most websites convert less than 3-5% of their visitors to sales. Don’t let yours be one of them.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

  • How Live Chat works to convert website visitors to leads, which is THE BOTTOM LINE
  • Dave’s background is 5+ years with Apex, which celebrated its 10th anniversary recently and works with over 4000 contractors across the US
  • Why use Apex Chat? What’s in it for me?
    • It is used as a conversion tool to generate more leads
    • It gives an option for clients who don’t want to make a phone call
    • It is an effective and preferred method of collecting contact info
    • It is a viable option for small companies who don’t have the resources to handle it on their own

  • A look at the numbers:
    • 79% of consumers favor live chat
    • 42% of customers selected live chat as their preferred method for contact info
    • 42% of leads generated by Apex come after regular business hours

  • Over 150 chat agents are trained with a customized script for each client
  • Questions help the agent decide if that customer is a good prospect for the business, and then a free estimate is scheduled
  • The full transcript of the live chat that goes directly to the contractor within minutes
  • Other features available with Apex Chat:
    • Connecting the client directly to the business by phone during preset hours/days
    • The “text us” button that allows clients to text instead of making a phone call
    • The texting feature can be linked to your Google AdWords campaign and your Google My Business page

  • Live chat shows that you WANT to connect with clients and makes your small company appear larger than it is
  • Customers show an increase of 30-40% more leads when live chat is added to their website
  • With Apex, there is no long-term commitment, but a month-to-month basis, and the retention rate is over 90%
  • How live chat helps you keep people on your website longer and adds to the mobile web experience
  • The cost with Apex: It’s a pay-for-performance pricing model, meaning you are only charged for the qualified leads they deliver, at the rate of $18 each
  • The conditions that must be met to classify a “qualified lead,” including name, contact info, and more
