I can't recommend Shawn and his team enough. They have been great from the start. As I celebrate 12 years as an employment firm, I finally feel like my online presence is where it should be. They take care of all aspects of my online presence. If you are thinking of redoing your web page, or trying to figure out how to generate leads, you owe it to yourself (and those that depend on you) to set up a meeting with Accelerate Now.

How Live Chat Can Help
Adding live chat operators to your website can improve your lead capture rate by as much as 20%.
Adding a live chat service to your website will help you engage your visitors and bring in more business. Our affordable law firm live chat service is much different than an automated software application.
If you want to discuss the differences between automated live chat software and real live chat operators, please give us a call. We would love to help you understand the differences so you can make an informed decision.
We live in the age of instant gratification. When people go to your website, they want instantaneous engagement and support.
Because the majority of consumers prefer that businesses are either open or at least able to assist customers at every hour of every day, our live chat operators monitor your website 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When someone comes on your website, our live chat operators engage and assist your visitors and capture valuable lead information for quick follow-up.
Emergencies do not always arise during regular business hours, and whether an office is open or closed, our live chat operators are always online and ready to take any questions from potential clients.
The instant gratification that a live chat provides means that a potential client will be less likely to seek help from a competitor.
According to a recent study by customer service software company Zendesk, 42% of online customers favor a live chat feature because of the immediacy that the feature offers.
Zendesk further reports that live chat outpaces e-mail, social media, and phone calls in customer satisfaction, with 92% of customers who have used live chat offering positive feedback and reviews.
Because almost two-thirds of online customers are more inclined to return to websites with live chat than to those without the option, plus the fact that more than three-quarters of Internet users will forgo using sites without a live chat feature, the minimal expense of adding and maintaining live chat on a website far outweighs the potential loss in revenue.
Our live chat operators are all based in the United States and are fluent in English and Spanish.
If a potential client merely wants to ask about the business hours of operation or how to navigate the website, the live chat operator can quickly and effectively answer all of the client’s questions.
If the customer has a more complicated question, the operator will collect their contact information and let the visitor know that someone from the office will be contacting them as soon as possible.
Immediately following a live chat on your website, you will receive a complete transcript of the chat conversation, along with the contact information for your new lead.
Biggest Mistakes Attorneys Make with Live Chat
While Live Chat can be a powerful tool for law firms, there are some common mistakes that attorneys can make when implementing and managing Live Chat on their website:
Not being available
One of the biggest mistakes is not being available to respond to chats. If potential clients are not receiving prompt responses, they are likely to move on to a competitor. It’s important to have a dedicated team that is available to respond to chats during business hours.
Lack of training
If the Live Chat team is not adequately trained, they may provide inconsistent or unhelpful responses to potential clients. It’s essential to provide training on the law firm’s services and how to respond to different types of queries.
Poor Timing
Law firms must ensure that they are providing Live Chat when potential clients are most likely to use it. If Live Chat is only available during non-business hours or on weekends, then it may not be as effective.
Lack of Personalization
If the Live Chat is not personalized, potential clients may not feel that their questions are being answered adequately. Law firms should segment their leads and provide customized responses that are relevant to their specific interests.
Inadequate Follow-Up
If potential clients express interest in services but don’t receive a follow-up, they may feel that their questions were not adequately addressed. It’s important to have a process in place for following up with potential clients who engage through Live Chat.
Law firms can benefit from Live Chat if it is implemented and managed effectively. By avoiding common mistakes, law firms can ensure that they are providing a better customer experience and converting more potential clients into actual clients.
