    Offer Guided Selling

    The in-store sales clerk plays a vital role in helping consumers select products that are deeply personal to them.

As a result of those interactions, consumers have high degrees of confidence in those recommendations.

    Online guided selling can replicate those in-store interactions on your site and is especially important for sites that have large product catalogs. Decision fatigue can prompt consumers to leave your website in search of one that makes it easier for them to make the right product choices.
