How do you add Chat Button on my website?
We will simply paste a short snippet of chat button HTML script into your web page source code and upload the updated page to your web server. When your client clicks on the chat button, this code will load the Visitor Messenger from the servers.

Will my customers know that I'm outsourcing services?
Not until you want to. Some of our clients prefer to use our services as transparent - basically meaning that we are an extension of your in-house customer service, while others desire to disclose that customer support is handled by a 3rd party.

Please tell me about your technology?
Our server-side software is written in Enterprise Java (J2EE). This allows us to achieve scalability and excellent reliability. Client side is standard Dynamic HTML and the JavaScript built into browsers by browser vendors. This allows us to avoid downloading of custom plug-ins and Java applets into visitor's browser.

How does the chatting take place?
A “Click for LIVE Chat ” link will be placed on your website so that a customer may click on it for live help. Clicking on this link will initiate a pop-up window in which the chat will take place. In addition, if a visitor has been on your website for a few minutes browsing, our operator has the ability to initiate a chat session to attend to his/her needs. Studies have shown that this “proactive chat” method can greatly increase sales.

Our operators can log on to the software with a login ID and password created by the admin. They can then engage in conversations with multiple clients.
