You don’t have to be a marketing expert to know that quality customer service plays a crucial role in business. Your customers are the ones who spread the word about you and help grow your customer base.
Many websites have been adding live chat support to their help desk software in order to provide real time answers rather than having customers leave their websites. Real time chatting with a customer support expert not only builds customers‘ confidence during their internet experience, but also helps to improve your conversion rates. According to a survey of American online consumers, 68% engage in live chat and 63% prefer getting back to a website with live chat for repeat purchase.
I'll be teaching you on how you can add live chat to your site. We will be using live chat widget from GetSiteControl

Step 2
While on the Appearance tab, choose how your widget will look like. First, select where you want to position your widget. There are four positions you can choose from. You can make your Chat widget appear as a button in the bottom right or bottom left corner.

Operator offline (user email already recorded). This one is also shown when the operator is offline but only if the visitor's address has already been recorded, so there is no need to ask for it again. The default message is 'We are not online at the moment. Please leave a message and we will email you back at {email}.'. The visitor's email address will be automatically inserted instead of {email}.
Step 5
You can also check the widget's Behavior and Targeting settings or you can just leave the default settings.
Now click OK to save your widget and activate it. As soon as you activate the widget it will appear on your website.
