Proactive chat

Start the conversation before they go

Most visitors never click the chat bubble, they just leave. Initio reaches out at exactly the right moment, so quiet traffic turns into real conversations and customers.

A real example, fired automatically after 30s on the pricing page.

Why it works

Waiting is expensive. Reaching out pays.

A nudge at the right moment beats a chat bubble nobody clicks, and the numbers from across the industry back it up.

33%

of proactive chats get a reply, versus a bubble most visitors never touch.

15–35%

of abandoning carts can be recovered with well-timed exit and checkout triggers.

50–75%

lift in secondary actions like sign-ups and downloads, even without an instant sale.
