Epic Engagement Adventure

On this episode, I veer off the beaten track and talk about a life changing conference I spoke at this weekend. Some conferences are worth every bit of time and expense, and this one is worth shouting about.

I want to get as many people going with Messenger bots as I possibly can. Why? Because bots are the end of fake marketing. Bots are the end of salesy, in your face and beating you over the head tactics.

It's been a long time coming. And now that I've found a way to communicate with people so well that I never have to break into a "sales pitch", I want to spread the word as fast as possible.

I've listened to a lot of reasons why people hold back from getting started with Messenger bots, and the biggest one by far is fear. Will people think I don't want to talk to them? Will I come off sounding robotic? Will I come off sounding salesy, or that all I care about is self promotion? Will bots just be a flash in the pan? Will I end up wasting my time?

On today's show, we're going to answer these questions. You may like the answers, or you may not like them, but one thing is certain: you won't ever let fear stop you from getting into Messenger bots.

We talk a lot about delivering the right message in your chatbot, but what about delivering that message at the right time?

It's all about anticipating and answering questions as they occur. We're fortunate, because ManyChat makes this possible in your Messenger bot. And you don't need to be able to read minds to make it happen.
