Why Add a Live Chat Widget to Your Business Website?

How often do you visit a website and have a specific question that needs answering? Oftentimes, visitors are unsure if a company can handle their requests or would like further details before proceeding. Questions such as average budget, lead time, or more technical aspects are difficult to answer easily on a website. Visitors want to become customers potentially but have further questions they need answering before they can proceed! If they are unsure and unwilling to call-in or complete a contact form to move forward, you may have just lost a sale. Adding a live chat widget can be a great way to help them out.
