The time during which a prospect actively considers your product or service is the most precious time for you. At this time it is decided whether the prospect is able to view and understand your product or service in the proper manner. If the prospect is able to view and understand it in the proper way the prospect will know the features, advantages and benefits of your product or service. And therefore is more likely to convert into a customer.

However “viewing and understanding it in the proper way” rarely, if at all, happens all on its own. It is natural for the prospect to want to clear some doubts or request additional information. You might be able to anticipate some of these and include the information on your site. However it is virtually impossible to predict what information a prospect might need. The site by itself can’t do much beyond a point.

But do you have to leave such a critical part of your sales process to chance? The answer is no. With a live help solution you can make timely interventions and give yourselves the best chance of informing a visitor appropriately and adequately.

Live help gives your web site a human intelligence based interface. This makes your web site more human-human interface oriented. This is as against being a human-machine interface oriented which can be so frustrating for the human involved.

If you are convinced that live help is great for your web site the next thing to consider is how the human-human interaction can be streamlined to make it efficient and enjoyable for the prospect. There is good news for you, there have been remarkable strides on this front.

One innovation is co browsing where a person can instantly share screens with the prospect and do the browsing for the prospect. This takes the hit or miss routine of asking a prospect to spot a link and click on it out of the equation. The prospect gets truly personal attention and all the prospect has to do is absorb the information and not spend precious time looking for it.

Live help with advanced features such as co browsing is definitely the way forward to improving your organizations ability to interface online. It will help your business stay ahead of the rest. You can know more about live help, screen sharing and co browsing at www.livelook.com.
