Agent is Typing… My Eye

Here’s a trick that Internet marketers use that you should know about.

When you try to leave the site, a window pops open and their ‘live virtual agent’ says something to the effect of…

Daisy Says: Hey wait! Super Guru wants me to remind you that this sale could be ending any moment. For a limited time Super Guru wants to offer you this insane opportunity for an easy two pay plan of $12222277. If you want to take one more look to make sure you don’t miss out just CLICK HERE

Take a look at the screen capture below. I typed ‘you’re a bot’ repeatedly and the bot just keeps on with the script that tries to sell me the product.

Now this must be a very effective method to capture additional sales, seeing as how many Internet marketers use it.

However, I don’t recommend that you offend your visitors’ intelligence with such ploys. In this business, reputation is everything and you don’t want to be seen as a marketer that uses tricks and deception to gain additional sales.

What I do recommend using is LiveAgent online chat software which allows you to watch and communicate with your visitors in real-time.

To use the hosted version of LiveAgent, all you need is Javascript enabled browser. There’s no software to install on your desktop.

You just login and you can manage live support from anywhere.

LiveAgent features include:

• Online/Offline Status
• Online/Offlline Messaging System
• Sound and visual Alerts
• Multiple operators in single chat
• Multiple simultaneous chat conversations
• Chat history with search function
• Watch visitor in real-time
• Live referring source tracking
• Customizable Look & Feel

All in all, really talking with your potential customers is a far better option than trying to fake ‘em out with a bot.

Check out LiveAgent.
