He reveals how live chat enables prospective families looking for care to get answers to their questions quickly, easily and discreetly \u2013 and from real people! Live real-person chat functions also maximise your chances of securing an enquiry in the first place before that family member goes browsing other care providers\u2019 sites. In this episode, we also discuss:  The pros and cons of different types of chat services \u2013 including why AI or bot chat services with pre-programmed responses aren\u2019t always the right choice for care providers Why getting people onto your care operator website via SEO, PPC and digital and traditional marketing and PR is only half the job \u2013 you still need to get visitors to engage with you How a real-time chat service can be branded and made to function seamlessly with your existing website How a \u201cmanaged\u201d (i.e. real-person) sales chat service works, and how it can maximise sales enquiries while putting minimal pressure on busy colleagues; an external person will text and email team members to ensure someone can jump on to the chat quickly and answer specific questions How a chat service operates when none of your team is available, and how a prospective enquirer\u2019s details can still be captured How a prospective client or family member can use your website to talk directly to one of your sales, care or management team and so build that all-important rapport - and the process they\u2019ll go through Why it is important to book a prospective client or family in for a visit early in the enquiry process Why a live-chat system can be easier for a prospective client or family member than a phone call or email \u2013 it\u2019s quicker, more discreet. Plus for your as a care operator you have a written record of the live-chat enquiry.
