Solution	Branch decided to implement Drift Chat in early 2020 to help convert traffic to leads, automate qualification, and improve conversion across all of their website pages.

They use Cookiebot to control when scripts are fired, Clearbit on their forms, Marketo for emails to help turn clicks into “known” people in Drift, Demandbase to score and prioritize Drift activity, and a host of other homegrown integrations with other platforms. Branch deployed bots across multiple pages to achieve different goals. They used the ABM Welcome bot to start conversations with target accounts, DriftLink on their pricing page to greet users with a Drift bot, and localized Conversation Starter bots for every major region. They also replaced their demo request forms with embedded Drift chat and Conversational Landing pages. Read More Log in to view content

Impact #1	The implementation of Drift has significantly improved Branch's buyer experience and sales cycle. Prospects now have the option to either fill out a form or chat live, providing instant resources and a more seamless process from end-to-end. This has resulted in happier customers. Previously, Branch used demo forms with many unnecessary steps that tied up their prospects and added barriers to getting a meeting on the books. Now, prospects can book a meeting on their own, sometimes even for later in the same day. This quick and streamlined process is one of the favorite features of Drift. Branch also used Drift Identify to target logged-in customers, offering personalized experiences that guided customers to their support portal, and even upselling and cross-selling visitors. This has helped in creating additional opportunities with current customers.
