In the last few years, many of the lead generation & customer service chat conversations have been powered by Chatbots. A chatbot is a basic software application that conducts a conversation via auditory or textual methods. Chatbots are often integrated into the website to provide a faster and easier to use interface. There are many industries that use chatbots all while improving customer service. Chatbots can be coupled with dialog systems for customer service, routing calls or collecting information.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has also enhanced chatbots further. With AI, chatbot engines can understand human intents and generate automated responses for each specific inquiry. Many organizations prefer AI-enabled chatbots as it is economical. They are self-taught and can provide 24×7 support, improving the experience of the customer. This also helps customers to move through the sales funnel and keep them engaged.

Chatbots have become synonymous with helping B2B businesses in improving their sales funnel and generating leads. AI-enabled chatbots are crucial for such businesses to transform and communicate with leads & customers efficiently.

Feeding information to your chatbot is important. The data entered by the customers- be it contact details preferences, etc. are can be recorded. Chatbots gather information for each and every user flow. This is achieved by asking questions, quiz etc. All the information combined together helps businesses analyse and understand their customers even better.

3. Educate customers
