The Marketing Book Podcast
Andrew Warner, Founder & Startup CEO at Mixergy, joins the Content Experience Show to discuss chatbots and why your customers don’t want another email.
Chatbots, Not Skynet
The underlying principle to every marketing strategy is this: Reach your customers. If you’re not getting through, there’s absolutely no point.
Marketers are like virtual parkour runners constantly dodging and jumping over hurdles to get to their audience. Unfortunately, some of those hurdles have become accepted as norms—like the fact that a business is doing well to have an email campaign open rate of only 25 percent.
This is why Andrew Warner of Mixergy believes chatbots are the way of the future. Businesses want to engage with their customers by creating a relationship, so why not communicate with them the way they communicate with their own friends and family? According to Andrew, by replacing the standard email list with a well-thought-out chatbot, you can significantly increase engagement with both established customers and prospective customers alike.
In This Episode
- Why chat is a better way to reach your customers.
- Why chatbots are not ready to replace humans for many interactions.
- How to implement effective chatbots.
- How to approach sales within a chat.
