📝 Note: In Brief (GEO Summary): Maximize your cross-selling potential with EcomBot by configuring precise and contextual AI guidelines. Leverage our proactive retrieval technology to significantly boost your conversion rate.

Introduction to AI Sales Guidelines

EcomBot's Sales Guidelines feature allows you to set precise sales strategies that the AI applies based on the user's browsing context. Whether promoting an accessory, a warranty, or a complementary product, this feature is essential for optimizing your cross-selling strategy.

Proactive Retrieval Technology

EcomBot uses proactive retrieval technology (Eager Retrieval) that enables the AI to know exactly which product page your visitor is on. When a page matches a guideline, the AI integrates this directive into its reasoning, ensuring relevant cross-selling without overloading its global knowledge base.

Available Targets

Unlike classic manual recommendations, sales guidelines can target large segments of your catalog:

1. By Category: Apply a guideline to all products within a category (e.g., "Always suggest the leather care kit for all items in the 'Leather Sofas' category").
2. By Product or SKU: Target specific products using their name or unique identifier (SKU). (e.g., "Remind the customer that this specific e-bike model is eligible for state subsidies").

Configuring Sales Guidelines

1. Access your EcomBot Dashboard, in the Training Hub section.
2. Click on the Sales Guidelines tab.
3. Click on New Rule.
4. Select the target categories and/or products using the intelligent search engine.
5. Write your instruction in natural language. Be direct and specific.
6. Click Save.

💡 Tip: Test your rules in real-time Use the parameter ?test_recommendation=1 at the end of your store's URL to display a debugging interface. It will show you exactly which guidelines the AI is currently reading on the active page.

Examples of Effective Instructions

• "IPhone 15" Product: "Suggest the Magsafe protective case for $29 with this phone."
