Remote Selling delivers immersive customer experiences: Here’s how

April 18 2023

Retailers across the world have started using remote selling to cater to their customers’ increasing demand for personalized online shopping experiences. Combining the world of digital with human engagement, selling remotely breaks physical barriers while delivering quality customer experiences. 

With more than three-quarters of buyers and sellers preferring digital self-serve and remote interactions over face-to-face engagement, these services have now become an important part of any retail strategy.

Let’s take a journey through the story of Steve who wants to buy furniture online and how a brand that sells remotely has a competitive advantage over others.

Steve is a new homeowner looking to furnish his space online. He knows of a store that offers virtual sales consultations and schedules an appointment for the same. Over the video call, Sally introduces herself as the sales representative and asks Steve about his requirements for the furniture along with a virtual tour of his house to get an idea of the space.

She now recommends items based on not just this conversation but also the Remote Selling software used for the session. The software has extensive data on Steve based on his previous interactions with the retailer, from which she can make personalized recommendations. She can also offer him a discount if it’s his birthday month and can run him through other promotions applicable to his account! After Steve finalizes the products he wants to buy, he can securely pay in the same session and the product will be delivered to him.

This story shows how retailers can use Remote Selling to create immersive experiences for their customers, even from a distance. From interaction with a sales associate to personalized recommendations, this virtual sales session made it all happen with ease.
