We have Live Chat running on www.yuppiechef.co.za. For those of you who don’t know what this is…Live Chat gives your visitors the opportunity to Instant Message your support team for assistance while browsing your website, which works really well for an online store.
Every now and then we have some really hilarious chats – here is one that Mike took a few weeks back. Names have been changed.
Jane:
Who is behind this company? I work for a consumer magazine and would like to mention your website on our shopping page. Free of charge.Mike:
Two men – you can see the details on the about us page
Jane:
Brilliant concept, I love it.
Mike:

Jane:
So I work for _____________ magazine. We have a website of the month, and I think this is it.

Anyway, good luck with the business, let us know if we can do anything.
Mike:

Mike:

Jane:

Mike:

Jane:
Well, I’m kind of an old hag with kids, but my art director is cute, blonde and lovely, if you need to meet a sweet girl.
Mike:

Jane:
You can see her on Facebook: Britney Goldstein
Mike:

Jane:
Around 28
Mike:
ooooh, i think no matter my age i will marry a 21yr old… pity
Jane:
Lots to be said for the experienced older chicks.
Mike:
i am not even sure what that means… my toast is calling me. hope you find a good place for the article
Jane:
Anyway, must go. Ugly supervisor with whip screaming abuse in background.
Mike:
