Why Live Chat Softwares Are Not Suitable For Small Business?

Live chat is not for small businesses which do not have dedicated staff working 24x7. ZNIEngage sets the right expectation in the customer's mind which eventually increases customer satisfaction.

1
Cost

Live chat software can be expensive, especially if you need 24/7 coverage or advanced features.

2
Staffing Requirements

You'll need to have dedicated staff to manage the live chat, which increases labor costs.

3
Increased Workload

Live chat can inundate your customer service team, leading to longer response times for other channels.

4
Potential for Overuse

Customers may become overly reliant on live chat, neglecting self-service options that could resolve their issue faster.

5
Technical Issues

Like any software, live chat can have bugs or glitches, causing frustration for users.

6
Security Risks

Sensitive data exchanged through live chat needs careful protection, introducing potential security concerns.

7
Limited Scope

Complex issues are sometimes better addressed through other channels, as live chat might not be the best format.

8
Language Barriers

Language differences can be a hurdle, especially if you don't have multilingual staff or reliable translation tools.

9
Impersonal

Some customers prefer more personal interactions (phone or in-person) over the text-based format of live chat.

10
Inconsistent Quality

The experience can vary greatly depending on the agent's skill and knowledge.

11
Tone Misinterpretation

The lack of nonverbal cues in text-based communication can make it harder to gauge tone and intent accurately.

12
Privacy Concerns

Some users may be hesitant to share personal information through live chat.

13
Can't Handle All Situations

There are limitations – emergencies or highly technical issues often require different communication channels.

14
Time Zone Challenges

Providing around-the-clock live chat support can be difficult if your team is confined to a single time zone.

15
Instant Expectations

Live chat sets the expectation for immediate resolution, which may be unrealistic in some cases.

Those are live chat software where customers expect an instant answer. With ZNIEngage, the dynamic is different. We set the expectation that you will contact them back, which is perfect for small businesses that can't be online 24/7. It reduces stress and increases customer satisfaction by setting realistic expectations.

ZNIEngage is absolutely free for up to 10,000 unique hits per month and 5,000 leads in the CRM. If you stay within these generous limits, you will never have to pay a cent. It's the best free alternative to expensive live chat software.

No! The built-in CRM is included. If your monthly lead volume is less than 5,000 leads and unique hits are less than 10,000, you don't need to purchase anything extra. It's an all-in-one solution.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure your choice of vendors for SMS, Email, and WhatsApp along with Telephony directly in the CRM. You can then create workflows to send automated messages immediately after a lead is captured.

It's for both! You can use ZNIEngage for Sales by generating leads via smart popups, or for Support by offering instant solutions via the knowledge base integrated into the widget.

Yes. If you don't have a website, you can use our Universal Contact Form to generate leads. It provides a hosted link you can share anywhere. Learn more about Universal Contact Form here.
