7 use cases of sales chatbot
1. Respond to price inquiries and stock quickly
"How much does package X cost?" → Chatbot responds immediately and accurately.
Customers don't have to wait for an agent — quick responses help increase conversions.
2. Product consultation according to questions
Chatbot asks back: "What age group do you need? What is the budget?"
Guide customers to choose the right product — like a basic consultant.
3. Closing orders in chat
The customer has made their choice → the chatbot confirms the order and receives delivery information.
Reduce the number of buying steps — customers close right when it's hot (see Chatbot to buy).
4. Product suggestions
According to purchasing history/needs → suggest related products, cross-sell.
Increase the average single value.
5. Order tracking
"Where is my application?" → chatbot checks status immediately.
Reduce repeated questions for agents.
6. After-sale support
Instructions for use, return policy, basic complaints.
Complicated problem → switch agent (see When you need people).
7. Thu lead
Customers have not yet purchased → chatbot asks for contact information and puts it into CRM.
Nurture later — don't let customers "drift away" (see Lead management).
Lưu ý khi triển khai
Start with 3-4 main use cases (ask for price, consult, close orders, follow up) — don't do all 7 right away.
There is always a fallback: chatbot cannot answer → switch agent quickly (see Fallback design).
Measurement: answer rate, chatbot closing rate, CSAT (see Containment rate).
