FAQs - Zoho SalesIQ

FAQs

What are FAQs?

FAQs are a list of common questions customers have asked about your product or service. This section inside your SalesIQ dashboard will contain a list of these common questions along with the relevant answers and can be shared by operators or bots during conversations. When the intent of the visitor's query matches any of the FAQs, then it can be shared during the chat. 

Benefits:

  1. The FAQ section will be the go-to hub for customers to find answers to their questions. They improve the experience your visitors have on your website and the usability of your website and thus increase conversion.
  2. They can help support representatives provide quick information to help customers make a purchasing decision. They can serve as the first touch point with your visitors that will convert them into paying customers and thus boost sales.
  3. Also, when you have a strong FAQ section for your business, the AI Bot feature will function super effectively and this will in turn increase the resolution rate of the bot.
