Faster Support Replies → Conversion Break-Even Calculator (AI chat)

How it works

Gross profit per order = order value × margin. Extra orders = enquiries × rise in conversion (percentage points ÷ 100); extra gross profit = extra orders × gross profit per order. Break-even lift = tool cost ÷ (enquiries × gross profit per order) × 100 percentage points: if faster replies raise conversion by more than this, the tool pays for itself from sales alone (savings in agent time come on top). There is no universal figure for how much speed raises sales — measure it with a test.

FAQ

What lift should I expect?

It varies widely by market and product. Run an A/B test — half of visitors get instant AI replies, half the current service — and measure the difference.

What about agent time saved?

This page counts only extra sales. If the AI also answers questions agents used to handle, add that saving with the chatbot cost or automation time-savings calculators.
