Returning visitor

When to use: Shows when the widget recognizes a returning shopper.

Message

Welcome back to company! I'm bot name. Want to revisit your saved estimate, compare panel options, or book a consultation with a specialist? Pick one and I'll take you there.

Quick options

  • Reopen my estimate

Shorter version

Good to see you again at company! I'm bot name. Should I pull up your estimate or set up a call?

Personalize

  • Show this only when a returning visitor is recognized.
  • Reference their earlier estimate so the return feels seamless.
  • Offer a next step rather than repeating the intro.

Why it works

It skips the generic welcome, resumes the visitor's earlier estimate, and nudges them toward a consultation while their interest is still warm.

3

After-hours or offline

When to use: Runs outside staffed hours or when specialists are away.

Message

Thanks for stopping by company! I'm bot name, the site assistant. Our energy specialists are offline right now, but I can still estimate your savings or take a message for the team.

Quick options

  • Estimate my savings now
  • Leave my details for a callback
  • See our hours

Shorter version

You have reached company after hours. I'm bot name. Share your email and a specialist will follow up soon.

Personalize

  • Set accurate office hours so expectations stay honest.
  • Let visitors run a self-serve estimate while the team is away.
  • Capture an email so no lead is lost overnight.

Why it works

It is upfront that specialists are offline, keeps the visitor moving with a self-serve estimate, and collects contact details so follow-up happens promptly.

4

Get a savings estimate

When to use: Triggers when someone chooses the savings estimate option.

Message

Curious what solar could save you? Welcome to company, I'm bot name. Share your average monthly bill and your zip code, and I'll build a rough savings estimate you can review right here.

  • Ask a team member

Shorter version

Want a solar savings estimate from company? I'm bot name. Give me your monthly bill and zip code to begin.

Personalize

  • Keep the inputs short so people finish the estimate.
  • Be clear that figures are estimates, not guaranteed savings.
  • Offer a specialist review with a team member for accuracy.

Why it works

It asks for just two inputs, sets honest expectations that numbers are estimates, and invites a specialist to confirm details before any commitment.

5

Book a consultation

When to use: Starts when a visitor asks to book a consultation.

Message

Ready to talk solar with company? I'm bot name. Pick a time that suits you and share your email, and I'll book a free consultation with a specialist.

Quick options

  • Book a consultation

Let's set up your solar consultation with company. I'm bot name. Send a time and your email and I'll confirm.

Personalize

  • Sync live availability so booked slots are always accurate.
  • Confirm by email right away so the appointment sticks.
  • Send urgent questions to a team member before the call.

Why it works

It makes booking effortless, asks only for a time and email, and routes to a real specialist so the consultation is genuinely useful.

6

Proactive lead capture

When to use: Fires after a visitor views pricing or an estimate.

Message

Still weighing solar at company? I'm bot name. Leave your email and I'll send a personalized savings snapshot plus a free offer from our team. No pressure and no obligation.

  • Let people opt out and keep reading without friction.

Why it works

It appears only after real interest, trades a useful snapshot for the email, and keeps the tone pressure-free so the brand stays trustworthy.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use these templates commercially?
Yes. Copy, edit, and use them in your business, client work, CRM, help desk, or sem.chat workspace.
Why are there six variants?
One generic template rarely fits every situation. Six variants give your team practical choices without a messy library.
Should I paste these into sem.chat?
Yes. Save the best variants as canned replies, knowledge base entries, routing rules, or CRM notes so your AI agent and team stay consistent.
Can the chatbot promise exact savings?
No. It should present figures as estimates and invite a specialist to confirm numbers for the specific home and utility rate.
Which intents matter most for solar sites?
Savings estimates and consultation booking. Most visitors want to know what they could save before talking to anyone.
How much should the estimate ask for upfront?
Keep it to a monthly bill and a zip code. Fewer inputs mean more completed estimates and more captured leads.
When should the proactive message appear?
After a visitor views pricing or starts an estimate, not the moment they land. Interest should come first.
Should the bot handle everything alone?
No. It greets, estimates, and schedules, then hands qualified homeowners to a human specialist for design and pricing details.
