NEW YORK, NY - June 24, 2008 - LivePerson, Inc. (NASDAQ: LPSN), a provider of online engagement solutions that facilitate real-time assistance and expert advice, today announced key findings of a commissioned study -- conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of LivePerson -- illustrating the bottom-line benefits and return on investment of LivePerson's chat technology deployed at one of the world's largest financial institutions.

The Forrester Consulting study examined the total economic impact and potential return on investment (ROI) enterprises may realize by deploying LivePerson's chat technology to increase sales, reduce customer service costs and increase customer satisfaction.

Forrester Consulting Study Key Findings

After conducting in-depth interviews with one of the largest U.S.-based financial institutions, which employs LivePerson's third-generation chat solution across seven lines of business, Forrester Consulting found that the organization's most mature deployments for sales and service achieved:

-- Increased incremental online conversion rates and average order size

The chat-assisted application completion rate was 138% higher than self service. In addition to saving and closing otherwise lost customers, interactive chat increased the average dollar value of transactions.

-- 305% ROI from proactive sales chat with a payback period of 6 months

The three-year risk-adjusted ROI of proactive chat for sales-focused activities was 305%.

-- Reduced customer service costs and increased customer satisfaction

Chat enabled the organization to deflect service inquiries from more costly channels: 59% of chats would have otherwise resulted in a customer service call; 9% in email; and 13% of chats would have otherwise resulted in a branch visit. Customer service chats also had a high first-contact resolution rate resulting in increased customer satisfaction.

-- 120% ROI from customer service chat with a payback period of 6 months

Forrester Consulting found that service-focused chat generated a three-year risk-adjusted ROI of 120% with a payback period of 6 months. Because the reference organization implemented chat for two distinct functions (sales and customer service) and maintains separate cost and benefit data for the two areas, this study analyzed sales- and service-focused chat separately.

"This independent study from Forrester Consulting reflects the value, effectiveness and incremental revenue possible with LivePerson's third-generation chat solution," said LivePerson CEO Robert LoCascio. "The online channel represents a significant opportunity to generate incremental revenue and improve the overall customer experience, and we're committed to helping our customers maximize the business potential of the Web."
