Internet technology surely moves at the speed of sound. Seems like just yesterday webmasters were embracing audio as a website feature to improve sales.

And then along came video. Video provides you with even greater opportunities for online sales conversions since you can show your customers how to use a product or what clothes might look like on a real person.

Amazing. Or so I thought until I discovered Web People.

Now you can put a real live person on your web site. One who will talk directly to your customers and help them navigate right through your sales process until they hit the payment key. To use Web People, you can hire one of their actors or even be the star yourself. (I have visions of Uncle Joe's Car Lot TV advertising with that option!).

Seriously though, this technology is fascinating and what's even better is that it can greatly improve your online sales conversion rate. Hop on over and take a look at one of the Web People demos and let me know what you think by leaving me a comment.

Thanks much for your additional information. I think Web People is the wave of the future for etailers!

I have also visited other website that uses the same technique. I think using a real person to give information to your visitors is more effected than just putting up video or audio in your site.
