Real-time chat is a powerful channel for your business to reach customers. In a customer service context, it allows you to handle inquiries immediately. For outbound sales, you can interact with potential customers as soon as they land on your website. As your business connects directly with customers through real-time chat, those connections can translate to sales, growth, and value.
