The questions that stall a sale, answered in the chat

Sales Agent · Your CX Agent, set up to sell.

Most lost sales are not price objections. They are an unanswered question at 11pm: will this fit, do you ship here, what is the difference between these two.

How it works

Sales Agent in a conversation

  1. 01
    It recommends from your real catalog

    Products, variants, prices and stock sync in, so a recommendation reflects what you can actually ship today rather than what a page said when it was last crawled.

    Live catalog, not a crawl
  2. 02
    It handles the question that decides the purchase

    Sizing, specs, compatibility, delivery. These are answerable from what you already publish, and answering them is the sale.

    24/7 including the 11pm question
  3. 03
    It captures the order, or the lead

    Ready to buy, it takes the order in the conversation. Not ready, it captures a scored lead with the whole exchange attached, while the intent is still warm.

    In chat order or scored lead
A buyer deciding between two machines
  1. I need a fryer that fits a 700mm counter run. Which of these two works?

  2. The 600mm single-tank fits with clearance either side. The twin-tank is 800mm, so it will not. Both draw 13A.

    read dimensions and power from the live catalog
  3. Do you have it in stock?

  4. Two in stock. Delivery is 3 to 5 working days to a commercial address.

    checked stock, not a cached page
In practice

Two ways Sales Agent gets used

1

The spec question at 11pm

What happens
A buyer is deciding between two fryers and needs to know whether one fits a 700mm counter run before they will commit.
What the agent does
The agent reads the dimensions, power draw and clearance out of the catalog, names the one that fits, and puts the product alongside the answer.
Where it stops
If that spec is not published anywhere, it says so rather than estimating, and keeps the question so somebody can answer it properly.
2

The enquiry that is really a quote

What happens
Someone opening a second location asks what they need for a kitchen doing 200 covers a night.
What the agent does
The agent asks about volume, space and budget, assembles a list from what is actually in stock, and captures the whole exchange as a scored lead.
Where it stops
Trade pricing and anything negotiated go to a person, who picks up a conversation where the requirements are already written down.
What changes

What comes off the sales desk

Every row is a job somebody does today. The bar is counted from the rows, so it says exactly as much as the table does and no more.

Answering customers now

Whose job this wasThe person on the sales desk who answers specification questions all day

The problem

Buyers arrive knowing what they need the machine to do, not what it is called, and the numbers that decide the purchase sit three clicks into a product page. Every one of those questions used to be typed out by hand, and the ones that arrived overnight were answered the next morning, by which point some of them had bought elsewhere.

What putting it in involved

The catalog is synced rather than crawled once, so an answer about price or availability reflects the store as it is now. That one decision is what moved stock and order-status questions off the desk: an answer that can go stale is an answer somebody has to check.

What it can actually do

What makes this real

Each of these is something your agent can do for a customer today, not a setting you configure. Everything here travels with the agent, on whichever channels you connect it to.

Comes with your agent

  • Finds the right product product_finder Tool call Called on a vague request. It turns an occasion and a budget into a short list from what is actually in stock. Turns "something for a wedding under 8,000" into two or three real options instead of a search result page.
  • Takes the order capture_order Tool call Called once the customer has decided. It collects the items, the delivery details and the contact, then writes the order rather than handing over a form. Finishes the sale inside the conversation rather than sending someone to a form they will not fill in.
  • Captures the enquiry lead_capture Tool call Called when intent appears. It records who asked, what they wanted and how ready they are, while the conversation is still open. Records who asked, what they wanted and how ready they are, while the interest is still warm.

Comes with your store connected

  • Your store, connected store sync Connection Pulls products, prices and stock on a schedule. The reason an answer about availability is current rather than the state of a page last month. Products, prices and stock stay current, so an answer is never based on a page from last month.
