After you decide on what Customer FAQ’s to add to your Facebook Messenger Chatbot, you should consider creating a warm and inviting automated greeting.
A potential customer is browsing your Facebook page, taking a look at customer comments and your posts, and they decide to reach out to your chatbot. While you may think a basic ‘Hello’ is good enough, the truth is that customers don’t want good enough.
They want to be wowed!
And with so manycompanies out there nowadays, it’s imperative that you make yours stand out. So, think outside the box and refrain from something generic. Consider a greeting that is a bit more welcoming such as, “Greetings, and welcome to [name of company]. What brings you here today?”
Remember that when you’re in a sales environment, that it’s important to ask open-ended questions. Saying something like, “Are you having a good day?” or “Can we interest you in [insert product]?” will either result in a bail out or a negative response. Encourage the customer to have an engaging conversation with your chatbot.
While the customer is interacting with your chatbot, offer multiple choice answers that gradually narrow down to very specific questions tailored to their needs.
A simple “I’m interested in your body lotion, but the price is a little too high for me,” can lead to a sale of either something else you offer, or a discount if they get it with another product.
Just remember to keep the customer engaged in a casual conversation. Don’t be too pushy, and don’t sound robotic. Be warm and inviting, and make it seem as though they’re really talking with a human. And of course, allow them to exit the chatbot at any time. Customers never want to feel obligated into doing something they don’t want to!
