Here’s what Jose David Bravo, the CEO at http://www.colombiahosting.com.co/, a Colombia-based web hosting company, says on how live chat has helped him to improve sales and increase efficiency.

“We found [in live chat] a perfect tool to improve communication with our customers through our web-site. Sales have improved and technical support became more efficient. The ability to customize the tool in Spanish offers great benefits for our organization. Many of our customers prefer us over the competition thanks to on-line support.”

Ioannis E. Farazoumis, the General Manager at http://dnhost.gr/, Domains & Hosting company based in Greece writes on the benefits that adding live chat has brought to his business, including some compliments to our company (thank you, Ioannis).

It helps us keep our customers satisfied and happy, increase client loyalty and spread our good fame!

After our switching to Provide Support, some of our web hosting competitors in Greece have also signed-up with P/S, and this is one of the best proofs that we have made the right choice!”

Matt Wallis, Director at UnitedHosting.co.uk, a UK web hosting company in his testimonial stresses how important it is for a web hosting company to offer a reliable support service.
