Uprealer structured a chatbot solution that had four different conversation paths, one for each of the different types of website visitors that Engel & Völkers Spain wanted to help. The chatbot was implemented on most URLs except on the property pages.
Results achieved
In 6 months time, a total of 1245 leads were generated through the chatbots, averaging 156 leads per month.
Out of those leads, an impressive 288 were from sellers looking for help to sell their property, 689 were from potential buyers, 213 from candidates interested in joining the Engel & Völkers team and 22 others enquired about the opportunity to open their own Engel & Völkers franchise and become part of the global network.
