What is Promotional chat bot and how it can help you to sell better
Promotional Bot integrates with your existing website, mobile app or e-commerce sites and converts it into a 24*7 Sales engine.

Promotional bot gives users direction
For example, most of the car dealers have static search sites which expect the end user to only search only a pre-defined set of criteria. Let’s say you want to buy a car, but not sure how to go about it. When you walk into a car dealer essentially a sales person assesses your needs based on various criteria including brand, model, intended usage, features looking for, finance and payment term needs.
Promotional bot essentially asks right sets of qualification questions and guides the end user through the product selection process.
A personalized approach
This gives you a personalized approach since it understands users personality type. It also combines that with existing user’s preferential information.
Promotional bot rewards you for your purchasing behavior and loyalty
As you introduce cognitive automation to drive sales it makes sense to reward the customers who use Chatbots. It has the ability to integrate with existing loyalty engine, so instead of promoting a standard discount for everyone, it uses variable reward mechanism.
It can learn your customer’s needs
It is can be configured to ask a set of pre-qualification and need analysis questionnaire. It saves the end user from frustration by not asking the same repetitive standard questions.
