I recently came across a case study from the folks at BoldChat, and in it, they discussed the impact and implementation that their Live Chat program has had on NorthFace's business.

Before we dive into the key points in the case study, here's a question you need to ask yourself:

  • Does your dealership website incorporate some variation of a LiveChat program?

If your top priority is customer service, it should. Here are a few benefits that were pointed out in the Case Study:

  • You will see an increase in customer engagement
    • If a customer is not sure what type of car they're looking for, chances are that they'll much prefer a live chat to a phone call. They might not want to get on the phone until they're absolutely sure what they want.
    • This also falls under the category of ZMOT (Zero Moment of Truth). Customers are going online first before hitting the store/dealership. You must be there during the Zero Moment of Truth and Livechat can give you that advantage.
  • After implementing Live Chat for their website, NorthFace saw a rise in chats/month from 4,000 to 17,000
  • It will benefit your customer service team!
    • Participating in live chat with customers will require your CSR's to become experts and more well versed in the product (i.e. vehicles) you're selling
    • Before implementing chat, you'll want to vett your CSRs to ensure they're product evangelists.

So, does your website have some sort of Live Chat program? Why or Why not?

Toyota of Irving – Success Story w/Car Chat 24

Car Chat 24 Case Studies, Edit No Comments

increase sales with car chat 24

I’m happy to report that we have yet another fully satisfied customer using Car Chat 24. Toyota of Irving’s Internet director took part in our latest case study on DealerRefresh.

The #1 Hottest Thread on the popular DealerRefresh forum is none other than “Free 24/7 Live Dealer Support, Staff, and Leads (Case Study).”

Here is what Maria had to say after her 2 month trial:

You can see that Toyota of Irving after adding Car Chat 24 was able to increase their conversion by 60-70% and their website sales by over 40%.

Here is what Maria Jones had to say about her experience:

As you can see the addition of a chat service (Car Chat 24) has yielded great results. At Toyota of Irving we are converting more visitors into valid leads and increasing guest satisfaction. It is truly amazing that we are capturing visitors as they are live on our site 24 hours a day! Some of them even get a response from us while they are still on-line after the chat. I will say however, this study focused on sales leads but I can’t tell you how many service leads came over as well and I know that we enjoyed some pretty good tickets from those leads as well! I hope that this data is helpful to you”.

I thought it would be important to display the data before adding chat and after.
