skills/sales-live-chat/SKILL.md
Live chat and chatbot for sales and support — widget setup, routing, chatbot flows, agent management, visitor tracking, chat-to-lead conversion, proactive messaging. Covers strategy and implementation across Brevo Conversations, Drift (Salesloft), Intercom, HubSpot, Crisp, LiveChat, Zendesk, Tidio, Freshdesk, ZoomInfo Chat, and Qualified. Use when chat widget not converting visitors, chatbot giving wrong answers or dead-ending, chats going to the wrong agent, not sure which live chat tool to pick, or visitors leaving before an agent responds. Do NOT use for email sequences (use /sales-cadence), email marketing (use /sales-email-marketing), or meeting scheduling (use /sales-meeting-scheduler). For platform-specific help, use /sales-brevo, /sales-salesloft, or /sales-swai.

Help the user with live chat and chatbot — from tool selection and widget setup through chatbot flow design, agent routing, visitor tracking, and chat-to-lead conversion. This skill is tool-agnostic but includes platform-specific guidance for Brevo Conversations, Drift (Salesloft), Intercom, HubSpot, Crisp, LiveChat, Zendesk, Tidio, Freshdesk, and ZoomInfo Chat.
If references/learnings.md exists, read it first for accumulated knowledge.
Ask the user:
What do you need help with?
What's your primary use case?
What tool are you using (or considering)?
If the user's request already provides most of this context, skip directly to the relevant step. Lead with your best-effort answer using reasonable assumptions (stated explicitly), then ask only the most critical 1-2 clarifying questions at the end.
Live chat converts best when:
Read references/platform-guide.md for detailed module documentation, pricing, integrations, and data model.
You no longer need the platform guide details — focus on the user's specific situation.
<head>)references/learnings.md with today's date.This skill covers a strategy domain across many platforms. Before pointing the user to any specific platform skill (any /sales-{platform} listed in ## Related skills, e.g., /sales-mailshake, /sales-klaviyo, /sales-apollo), read that platform skill's actual SKILL.md first. The 1-line description in ## Related skills is enough to identify a candidate — it's not enough to commit to it or to write a prompt that invokes it well.
How to read it:
~/.claude/skills/{skill-name}/SKILL.md exists locally, Read it.sales-* skills, WebFetch directly from this repo: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sales-skills/sales/main/skills/{skill-name}/SKILL.md — e.g., for sales-mailshake: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sales-skills/sales/main/skills/sales-mailshake/SKILL.md.sales-* skills (third-party), look up {org}/{repo} in ~/.claude/skills/sales-do/references/skill-sources.md if installed and fetch the same skills/{skill-name}/SKILL.md path under that repo.After reading, ground your recommendation in something concrete from the SKILL.md (its scope, a sub-flow, its argument-hint shape, or a "Do NOT use for..." negative trigger). Align any generated invocation with the platform skill's argument-hint. If the platform skill turns out not to fit the user's situation, swap to another or handle the question here directly rather than recommending a poor fit.

The router matches any sales objective to the right skill. Install: npx skills add sales-skills/sales --skill sales-doUser says: "I want to add live chat on our pricing page to catch buyers who are comparing plans" Skill does: Recommends proactive chat trigger (15 seconds on pricing page), qualification bot (company size, use case, timeline), routing to AE, and CRM push. Provides implementation steps for the user's chosen platform. Result: Chat widget on pricing page with qualification flow, agent routing, and CRM integration
User says: "We need a chatbot that qualifies visitors and books demos when our team is offline" Skill does: Designs a 3-step bot flow (greeting → 2 qualifying questions → meeting booking or email capture). Covers offline handling, calendar integration, and fallback paths. Result: Chatbot flow that qualifies and books meetings 24/7
User says: "We're a 10-person SaaS company using HubSpot CRM. Should we use HubSpot chat or Intercom?" Skill does: Compares HubSpot native chat (free, CRM-integrated, basic bot) vs Intercom (more powerful bot, product tours, but expensive). Recommends HubSpot chat to start, upgrade to Intercom if they outgrow it. Result: Clear recommendation with reasoning and migration path
Symptom: Widget doesn't show up on the website after installation
Cause: JavaScript snippet not loaded, ad blockers, content security policy, or conditional display rules
Solution: 1) Check browser console for JS errors. 2) Verify the snippet is in <head> or <body>. 3) Test in incognito mode (ad blockers). 4) Check CSP headers allow the chat provider's domain. 5) Review display rules — the widget may be hidden on certain pages.
Symptom: Widget is live but very few visitors start conversations Cause: Widget is too passive, on wrong pages, or proactive messages aren't compelling Solution: 1) Add proactive messages on high-intent pages (pricing, demo). 2) Make the greeting contextual to the page. 3) Use a chatbot to initiate with a question, not just "Hi!" 4) Test button placement and color contrast.
Symptom: Conversations happen but leads don't appear in CRM Cause: Integration not configured, mapping incorrect, or webhook failures Solution: 1) Verify CRM integration is active in chat tool settings. 2) Check field mapping (email, name, company → CRM fields). 3) Test with a known lead and trace through both systems. 4) Check webhook/API logs for errors.

Wizlogo (wizlogo.com) platform help — a budget online logo maker (template/style-variation, marketed as "AI") plus a hub of FREE branding tools (business-name, blog-name and slogan generators, business-card maker, invoice generator, color converter, domain search). The pricing traps: the FREE logo is PERSONAL-USE-ONLY; the two cheap paid tiers are RASTER PNG/JPG only — Single (~€39.99 one-time) and Unlimited (~€3.99 per WEEK, recurring) — and VECTOR (SVG/PDF/EPS) is gated to the ~€299.99 Enterprise tier, which also bundles human designer edits and a social kit. Transparent PNG is on all paid plans. Use when making a Wizlogo logo, understanding free-vs-paid or personal-vs-commercial use, which tier unlocks vector/SVG for print, the weekly-subscription billing trap, its free name/slogan generators, or whether it has an API (UI-only — no public API, webhooks, Zapier or MCP). Do NOT use to just generate the business name (use /sales-namelix) or to compare/validate branding tools (use /sales-idea-validation).

VistaPrint platform help (vistaprint.com, a Cimpress company) — the small-business design + print + digital-marketing platform: a free AI Logomaker (4 generations, 60 more after free sign-up) exporting SVG/PNG/PDF at 4000x4000 with no watermark, a free Brand Kit, business cards/flyers/signage/apparel/promo print, and a website builder. THE RIGHTS TRAP: VistaPrint states NO intellectual-property rights transfer on an AI-generated logo — you get usage rights but CANNOT register it for trademark or copyright; only its human designer service transfers full IP. Use when making a VistaPrint logo, asking if you own or can trademark it, running out of AI logo credits, printed colors not matching the screen, bleed/DPI/font file-prep rejections, or asking whether VistaPrint has an API (the consumer site does not — automation runs through the parent Cimpress Open partner-fulfilment API). Do NOT use for Vista Social scheduling (use /sales-vistasocial) or comparing logo tools market-wide (use /sales-idea-validation).

Turbologo (turbologo.com) platform help — a budget AI/DIY logo maker: enter a business name + industry, pick icons and colors, and it proposes logo concepts you refine in an in-browser editor, then pay a one-time fee to download (designing is free, previews are watermarked, downloading is the paywall). Vector SVG/PDF is gated to the mid tier and up; the top tier adds a brand kit (business cards, letterheads, email signatures, social assets). Use when generating a logo in Turbologo, choosing which download tier to buy, vector SVG vs raster PNG, removing the free watermark, the time-limited edit-after-purchase window, pay-to-download pricing questions, whether an AI logo is yours to trademark, or whether Turbologo has an API to bulk-generate logos (it is UI-only — no public API, webhooks, Zapier, or MCP). Do NOT use to generate the business name (use /sales-namelix), compare or validate branding tools across the market (use /sales-idea-validation), or build wider marketing creative (use /sales-canva).

Online Logo Maker (onlinelogomaker.com) platform help — a long-standing free/freemium DIY logo maker: build the mark yourself from icons, shapes, text, and fonts — MANUAL/template-based, NOT enter-a-name-get-AI-concepts. The free pack downloads a LOW-RES 300px PNG with a background; vector SVG, transparent PNG, and 2000px high-res are gated to a one-time lifetime Premium pack (not a subscription). The free tier's commercial-use rights are disputed by reviewers — clean ownership effectively needs Premium, and a shared-icon mark can be non-distinctive. Use for building/editing a logo here, free download vs Premium, vector SVG or transparent PNG, one-time pricing, commercial-use/trademark terms, near-namesake confusion (NOT LogoMaker.com / LogoMakr / Logomakerr.ai), or whether it has an API (UI-only — no API, webhooks, Zapier, MCP). Do NOT use to generate the business name (use /sales-namelix), compare branding tools across the market (use /sales-idea-validation), or build wider creative (use /sales-canva).
