3x return on conversion rate:
Prudential and Lifenet use the Reply.ai technology to capture new leads with much higher completion rates than traditional channels and automate part of the customer support reducing the cost of the call center. LifeNet knew that Millennials make purchase decisions differently than other groups. They do not make decisions on the spot based on persuasive sales people. They prefer to gather information that’s personal, on their own terms in a self-serve environment, without sales person pressure. Then, once they’ve had a chance to review the information and if they believe it is the right fit, they will proactively return, a now fully qualified lead. Thanks to the Reply.ai Bots, LifeNet could enact exactly this system, and saw a 3X return on conversion rate.
Unconventional view in the bot scene
In Reply.ai opinion bots should act like bots and humans should act like humans. So, if a bot can’t provide a service, Reply.ai proprietary takeover tool integrates into any customer service engine, without having to change the interface that a live agent already uses.
It’s proven to strengthen the relationship and improve the customer experience.
How does it work?
Getting started is a 3-step process;
- Building: with the motto – think big, act small. One size doesn’t fit all so they provide a code-free visual bot building environment. Just building a bot with a drag and drop interface. Starting with the most frequently asked questions and truly capturing the brand voice and values.
- Managing: with a lot of advanced features like campaign management, Artificial Intelligence, localization capabilities, multi-channel deployment (including voice), API to CRM and so on.
- Optimizing: analytics, testing and reporting tools. So, the bot is constantly learning and improving based on user feedback and interaction. And there is the takeover tool. So if a bot can’t provide a service, the proprietary takeover tool integrates into any customer service engine, without having to change the interface that a live agent already uses. Because you’re never just building a bot, but launching a Conversation Strategy.
