Introducing Proactive Sales Skills: Elevate E-Commerce With AI-Powered Personalization

If you aim to elevate your customer experience, personalization isn’t a perk—it’s a necessity. Shoppers expect seamless, tailored experiences that cater to their unique needs and preferences. That’s why we’re excited to unveil Proactive Sales Skills, our latest feature designed to transform how your AI concierge interacts with customers.

What are Proactive Sales Skills?

Proactive Sales Skills is an enhancement to your AI assistant that enables it to engage shoppers more intelligently and personally. At its core, it uses behavioral AI to detect disengaged shoppers in real-time and proactively approaches them to rescue revenue and move them along their journey to a purchase. 

By leveraging multiple data points—such as location, device type, time of day, previous purchases, and browsing behavior—the AI initiates conversations at the most critical moments, offering timely assistance that feels tailor-made for each visitor.

How Does It Work?

Our AI monitors shopper behavior to identify signs of disengagement—like prolonged inactivity, rapid page switching, or repeated visits without action. When these signals are detected, the AI steps in to re-engage the shopper with personalized interactions. 

Here’s how it makes a difference:

• Real-Time Intervention: The AI doesn’t wait for the shopper to seek help; it proactively reaches out when it senses they might be losing interest.
• Contextual Engagement: Interactions are based on the shopper’s current context, ensuring relevance and increasing the likelihood of re-engagement.
• Personalized Messaging: Conversations are crafted using insights from the shopper’s behavior and history, making the interaction feel more human and less like a generic chatbot.

Key Features of Proactive Sales Skills

1. Re-engage Disengaged Shoppers

The AI assistant can now proactively interact with shoppers at various stages, such as:

• On Collection Pages: Offering assistance or highlighting popular items.
• On Product Pages: Providing additional information or answering questions.
• On Out-of-Stock Pages: Suggesting alternatives or offering to notify when an item is back.
• For New and Returning Visitors on the Homepage: Tailoring greetings and recommendations based on their history.

2. Interactive “Chips” for Enhanced Interaction

To make conversations more engaging, the AI introduces “chips”—interactive prompts based on page content. For example:

• “Curious about our unique ingredients?”: On a product page, inviting the shopper to learn more about what makes the product special.
• “Looking for something specific?”: Offering assistance to find products or navigate the site.

These chips encourage shoppers to dive deeper, increasing engagement and the potential for conversion.

3. Customization to Match Your Brand Voice

You’re in control of how the AI communicates. Customize it to align with your brand’s personality:

• Add AI Instructions: Guide the AI on how to interact at different stages of the shopper’s journey. You can instruct the AI to refer to the shopper’s local date and time, geo-location (city/country), products the shopper has been viewing, previously purchased items, and more.
• Define Tone and Language: Ensure the AI uses phrases and expressions that reflect your brand.
• Select Relevant Chips: Choose which interactive prompts are most valuable to your shoppers.

Examples:

• Use Emojis Thoughtfully: “Check out our new arrivals! 😊”
• Seasonal Messages: “Getting ready for summer? We’ve got you covered! 🌞
