"BoldChat is a key factor in differentiating us from other competitors," commented Craig Klein, CEO of SalesNexus and a BoldChat customer. "For instance, our biggest competitor guarantees to get back to you in 48 hours, but who can be down for two business days? With BoldChat, we typically get an issue resolved in 15 minutes. That's a really compelling, easy to understand selling point for our customers, and BoldChat makes it possible."

The BoldChat icon has become our highest clicked item on all of our email marketing, Web pages and blogs

Our ROI has been phenomenal. Just one month after we implemented live chat feature, we saw a dramatic increase in our generated leads and increased sales by 22 percent. And with every chat conversation, we're collecting important data that will help us better serve our customers into the future.

For those of us on the phones with clients every day, we didn't know we needed this tool

But we've seen firsthand that when people engage with us through BoldChat, they are actively looking for a solution. It's an extra step in qualifying a client. We're able to spend more time with those people who are serious and ready to engage our services. It's been so effective that we recently moved our BoldChat button right to the top of our website.

We're not surprised by the response from this survey, but it is always gratifying to hear that our technology has a direct, positive impact on our customers' business

This survey reinforces what we hear time and again. In minutes, our customers are able to integrate live chat into their online strategy and benefit from the significant impact it has on providing great service to their own customers and maximizing their sales efforts.

In this challenging economy, debt management company CreditAllianceGroup (www.creditalliancegroup.net) looked to BoldChat for help keeping pace with a rapidly growing market. "The BoldChat icon has become our highest clicked item on all of our email marketing, Web pages and blogs," says Eric Pinola, Director of Enrollment at CreditAllianceGroup. "Our ROI has been phenomenal. Just one month after we implemented live chat feature, we saw a dramatic increase in our generated leads and increased sales by 22 percent.

BoldChat customer Larson Financial (www.larson-financial.com) also sees the impact that live chat has on their business. This professional services firm specializes in tax resolution strategies and taxpayer representation and has been using the service for nearly a year.

Additionally, 80 percent of the customers surveyed stated that live chat enables them to deliver quality service in a cost-effective way.
