Top 5 Live Chat Software for Your WordPress Site

Looking for live chat software for your WordPress site?

In this day in age it is all about response time.  We recently attended an event put on by Kelly Weppler Hernandez from WH & Associates celebrating  Small Business week and at this event there was a really informative LIVE STREAM from John Jantsch, creator and Best Selling Author for the Duct Tape Marketing system.  

John spoke about something called ROBO.  We at WP Fix It are suckers for acronyms and when we heard this our ears perked up.  John explained that ROBO is how consumers are buying these days. Research Online, Buy Offline.  

This of course made perfect sense to me because we am a consumer and we constantly research a product or service online before making a buying decision.

John went on to explain several tools that are available to better serve the “Research” part of ROBO and the one specifically that we wanted to share with you was the concept of adding a LIVE CHAT to your website.  

Just think of it, a consumer goes to your website and looks around and has a question. Now in the example of most websites out there, they can either call you, send an email, or fill out a form to ask their question.  

What it they could simply click on something and have a live interactive chat with someone in your company and get an answer instantly.  

If they can chat with someone right away, 2 really huge things have happened:

One, their research was conducted efficiently and two, the consumer experience has sky rocketed which increased the Like and Trust before they buy.

So we did our own ROBO on what type of LIVE CHAT software there is out there and which one we use for this very website.  Below is a list of the top 6 that we found and researched and a few of  the features and pricing of each.  

We have put these in order from my favorite to least.  You can see my LIVE CHAT in action in the lower right hand corner of this page.  Let’s chat!!!
