NEW YORK, NY - November 16, 2004 - LivePerson (NASDAQ: LPSN), a leading provider of communications solutions for online sales, marketing and customer service, announced today that KitchenAid, a premier manufacturer of home appliances, has adopted the Timpani online communications platform for their consumer websites www.KitchenAid.com and www.ShopKitchenAid.com. The implementation has resulted in measurable improvements in agent productivity, response times and customer satisfaction.

KitchenAid, long known for both high quality appliances and excellent customer service, employed Timpani to extend their online service channels to include live chat. In the first two months of operation, Timpani Chat accounted for more than 20% of the company's online interactions with consumers. In exit surveys, KitchenAid customers have reported a high degree of satisfaction with the live chat channel: 94% rated the chat service as "Above Average to Exceptional." Customer comments have been equally positive. As one user stated, "My experience with KitchenAid customer service has been excellent, and today's chat interaction shows you go the extra mile for your customers. Thanks again!"

"Our business goals for live chat were to improve customer service and create an innovative online experience for our customers," said Bruce Roberson, Director, Consumer Sales and Services, KitchenAid Portable Appliance Division. "Timpani Chat gives us an unprecedented ability to connect with our customers and provide instant resolution, which is reflected in the flood of positive feedback we've received."

KitchenAid lauded the speed in implementing the hosted Timpani platform, the ease with which their agents were able to master the system, and the excellence of LivePerson's round-the-clock customer support. Based on the effectiveness of Timpani Chat in the KitchenAid Portable Appliance Division, the company is exploring online communications solutions for its other divisions.

"KitchenAid is an established leader in world-class customer service, and we expected their customers to embrace live chat as a service channel," said Robert LoCascio, LivePerson CEO. "The fact that chat became a popular method of customer communication within a few short months of implementation is a testament to the company's knowledge and understanding of their customer base."
