As of March 2024 we have renamed Apexchat to Blazeo. We are excited to share the next part of our journey with our customers and partners.
The name ApexChat implies that we are primarily a chat company, which is no longer true. Now we have many offerings, such as call center services, AI, Appointment setting, SMS Enablement, Market Automation, and Sales acceleration (Q2 2024), that go beyond chat. The new name will not only allow us to convey the breadth of our offering but will also better convey our company’s mission and values.
Blazeo, which is derived from the word Blaze, evokes a sense of passion, speed, and energy. A “Blaze” is captivating, illuminates, and represents explosive growth. Blazeo encapsulates our mission to ignite such growth for our customers and partners by delivering innovation with passion, speed, and energy.

When you’re onboarding a new client, the client experience relies heavily on the client intake process. This process is about more than just gathering a bunch of information from your client.
Once the hard work of marketing is done, you have to gear your business to onboard potential clients. A smooth process is important to:
Your first point of contact needs to be painless yet productive. Make it easy for clients to contact you through various channels such as phone, online chat services, online forms and email. Once they’ve made contact, you can further streamline the process through automation services.
Our agents are trained to assist clients on several different platforms. By using custom scripts tailored to your brand, we’re able to work through the client intake process effortlessly.
Your client intake process should start at the very first point of contact. A client reaching out to you to inquire about products or services is already in the first stage of buying, which means that the sales cycle has already started. It’s important for you to close this loop by gathering the right information about your client.
Information gathering can save you time and effort down the line, and here’s how:
When used correctly, a client intake process that ticks all your company’s desired boxes can be the difference between spinning your wheels chasing loss leaders or finding clients that offer a higher case value.
Your client intake process is a golden opportunity to get a lot of the sticky admin out of the way. For instance, letting clients read and accept the terms and conditions of the service provided. For attorney and accounting firms, this could also include a retainer service.
A retainer service allows customers to pay an agreed amount upfront, either monthly or once-off to secure a professional’s services in the future. At Blazeo (formerly ApexChat), we offer a retainer signing service to ensure clients are able to get them signed quicker. These contracts contain all the legal finessing you may need to onboard a new client. You can also customize these to use different languages, fonts and case types to suit your brand aesthetics and business needs.
Our agents are trained to walk clients through the contracting process and terms and conditions. They can answer the questions using the provided frequently asked questions document to ensure a smooth onboarding process. The full conversion process takes place during these calls, as clients can accept the offers digitally or telephonically.
You can also allow customers to work through the paperwork at their own pace through your client intake forms. Just include all the relevant information you may need, specify the payment plan and define the terms and conditions of the retainers. You can then automate sending the terms and conditions and contract to the client using the contact details provided.
It’s important to make it as easy for your clients to deal with you as possible. By creating automated, seamless contact points for your client, you’re able to onboard new clients faster and get sufficient information upfront to help close the sales cycle. At Blazeo (formerly ApexChat), we know what goes into an effective client intake process. Want to see more? Get a demo today.
