The problem: the silence that kills the sale

Your customer wants to know whether you deliver to their postal code. Whether they can pay in installments. Whether the product is compatible with their older model.

And your team replies... the next morning. When the customer has already bought from the competitor.

📊

The figure that hurts

35% of abandoned carts in SMB e-commerce are caused by a question left unanswered. Not by price. Not by competition. By a simple lack of information at the decisive moment.

The recurring obstacles:

  • Recurring requests from the same customers
  • Attachments scattered across 15 conversations
  • Late responses that annoy your contacts
  • Invoice reminders that fall through the cracks

The solution: conversational AI as a conversion driver

SMBs that deploy conversational AI on their website gain a decisive advantage:

Instant response 24/7

To frequent questions about delivery, payment, compatibility. Your customers no longer wait.

🎯

Automatic qualification of hot leads

The AI identifies customers ready to buy and directs them to the right offer or the right advisor.

🔄

Intelligent recovery of abandoned carts

Personalized follow-up with responses to each customer's specific objections.

💡

Personalized suggestions

Implementation in 3 steps

1

Audit your customer questions

Analyze the 20 most frequent questions received by email, chat or phone. They probably represent 80% of the volume.

2

Integrate your catalog

Connect the AI to your product database so it can answer precisely about stock, lead times, compatibilities.

3

Test and refine

Deploy internally first, then to 20% of your traffic. Measure the impact on conversions and adjust the responses.

Frequently asked questions

Which questions do e-commerce customers ask most often?

The 5 most frequent questions: availability and delivery times for a postal code, payment options and installments, compatibility with an older model or equipment, return policy and warranty, and comparison between two similar products.

Won't AI dehumanize the customer relationship?

On the contrary. AI frees your team from repetitive questions so they can focus on high-value interactions. Customers appreciate an instant response at 11pm rather than an automatic email promising a reply within 48h.

How long does it take to deploy an AI assistant?

A first assistant can be operational in 2 to 3 weeks for an SMB. This includes integration with your product catalog and testing with your real customer questions.

What ROI can be expected?

+25% conversion rate, -35% abandoned carts, +40% customer satisfaction. Return on investment is generally reached in 3 to 6 months.
