Elevating Upsell Success with WorkPaper’s AI Solutions
Background:
A Shopify-based e-commerce company, “EcoGlow,” specializes in eco-friendly home lighting solutions. Despite having a successful line of basic lighting products, EcoGlow struggled to upsell their premium, smart lighting systems, which offer enhanced features and sustainability benefits. Facing stagnant sales for their high-margin products and an issue with higher than industry average customer returns, EcoGlow sought innovative solutions to enhance their sales strategy and improve customer satisfaction.
Challenge:
EcoGlow’s primary challenges were twofold: firstly, effectively communicating the value of their premium products to potential customers, and secondly, ensuring customers made informed purchases to reduce return rates. Traditional marketing and customer service approaches had limited impact, prompting the need for a more engaging, personalized strategy to boost upsell opportunities and diminish returns.
Solution:
EcoGlow partnered with WorkPaper to implement their AI telephonic solutions and a fully speech conversational AI chatbot. The AI solutions were customized to EcoGlow’s specific product offerings and brand voice, providing a seamless, personalized customer experience.

Using advanced conversational AI, the system could effectively communicate the benefits of the smart lighting systems, answer common questions, and overcome objections in real-time, leading to a higher conversion rate for upsell products.
AI Chatbot: The fully speech conversational AI chatbot was embedded on EcoGlow’s Shopify site, providing instant assistance to online shoppers. The chatbot was designed to engage customers with interactive conversations about their lighting needs, suggest personalized product recommendations, and highlight the long-term value and sustainability of the premium smart lighting solutions.
Results:
In just two months of implementing WorkPaper’s AI solutions, EcoGlow witnessed a remarkable turnaround in their upsell product sales and customer satisfaction metrics:
