How to sell with direct messages

Selling is not what it used to be. Conversational marketing and selling is now among the most effective methods on social media, since customers are becoming more immune to advertising. Isn’t it nice when someone remembers your name, or your birthday or even favourite colour? What if we can add those elements back into the sales game, to make the experience more personal, and maximise trust at the very start. This is where selling and increasing your return on investment through social media direct messages can support your sales strategy.

Personal engagement has become an incredibly effective sales tool, with every 1 in 4 conversations turning into a sale. These customers are already interested, however they are looking for a better experience, and many will pay a higher rate for a better customer experience or a more convenient option. One on one conversations can give your business the feedback it needs to close a deal, by asking the right questions and listening to the answers, and it also fuels your product development, since customer feedback can be very useful for improvement.

The best way to manage your incoming communication

Your business’s customer service department has a lot of incoming communication across multiple platforms to manage, and it’s very easy to lose track of messages and stay productive. Your team will have to manage their work flows juggling multiple applications, and lose time searching for the information they need. This also increases the opportunity to become distracted, further eroding productivity. Click4Assistance’s dashboard offers your customer service agents a central hub for everything they need to get the job done: live chat box for website, video chat, social media direct messages, Click2Call, and even your own CRM integrated. Your customer notes will be more comprehensive and thorough, since access to them is much smoother. Gone are the days when your team loses time trying to find messages or notes. The dashboard is also customisable on an individual level, allowing them to hide all the distractions and keep the features they need to focus on.

Bring it all together with the best chat box for website

One communication platform can be good, but why not make all of your communication more productive and effective? Click4Assistance specialises in this area.
