Starting a Test Chat:

So now you have read through all that SalesIQ can do, and have set up SalesIQ. So let’s take it out for a test run and see how it functions. In fact, you can do a test chat to get a feel on how it operates.

1. First you will have to login to your Sales IQ dashboard.
2. Now, open another tab on your browser and head on over to your WordPress site.
3. On the lower right corner of your WordPress website, you should see a button prompting Click Here To Chat.
4. Click that to start the chat process. The default chat window will pop up. Now type in something and press enter like you would do during any normal chat.
5. After you have done this, the SalesIQ dashboard will prompt an alert sound indicating that you have an incoming chat request.
6. Once you head over to the dashboard you will see that your previously typed message has popped up in the lower right corner of the screen along with user information.
7. From here you can now engage in a chat session, or use options like canned messages, black IP, share URLs, and so on.

But how to start a chat from the SalesIQ dashboard?

On the SalesIQ dashboard you will find the ‘Visitors Online’ option on the sidebar. From here you can track all your visitors through the ring view or the list view.

What is the ring view?

The ring view displays concentric circles with all the visitors on your website. The hottest visitor prospects will be towards the center, and the cold ones would be outside the circles. It will also show the visitor’s country flag, time on site, visitor actions, ID and so on.

What is the list view?

List view does the same as the ring view, but categorizes all your visitors in a list instead of a fancy circle. All the hot or cold visitor prospects will be a bit hard to grasp at a glimpse, but it will be easier to tackle huge traffic.

Conclusion:

Overall, as you can see, Zoho SalesIQ will prove to be a very efficient tool for improving your lead generation. The software can give you insight on how to use your available resources to maximize lead conversion, which is actually a great deal.
