VM3 - Creating Chabots for your business - Which platform is the quickest and easiest to use?
Jan 23, 201900:03:08Tap to summarizeHey there, NB: as you read, you'll see collect.chat in blue, that's an affiliate link, I may make a small commission if you decide to make a purchase, at no extra cost to you. I use them and promote them here because the platform works beautifully. Today I wanted to cover a subject you may be curious about. Chatbots. They're everywhere, and for good reason, they simplify lead generation. So which platform is the quickest and easiest to use so that anyone with very limited tech knowledge can create a chatbot in 5 minutes or less? I've tried manychat and chatfuel, then stumbled upon collect.chat. I was looking for something very simple to use: It had to have templates for multiple niches It had to send me leads directly and not to Facebook It had to be easily customizable It needed to be clean and simple It needed to be a conversational bot It should be extremely easy to edit It needed to be a conversational bot that sent me notifications directly if someone sent a message, that's where collect.chat fitted in nicely. Don't take my word for it, go have a look at manychat and chatfuel. They redirect your conversation to Facebook, I didn't want that, I wanted leads coming directly to my email, and Collect.chat does that. I will be doing a complete walkthrough of the program, I will show you how quick and easy it is to create a bot and how to customize it to change the conversation as well as the look and feel. I will also show you how to install it and get it working on a new Wordpress, Squarespace, Wix or Shopify site. I will be doing a mini course on collect.chat, so, let me know if you're interested and i'll be in touch. Have a great day.

Transcribe →VM1 - The Customer Journey - How you should make sure your business aligns with customer needs
Jan 23, 201900:07:36Tap to summarizeThe customer drives your business and not you. Your wishes and desires should always come second. If you can make your business customer-centric and focus on their needs before your own, your business will become more successful. I've found that people value service above all else. If you give first and expect nothing in return, but keep offering value to your customer, the LTV (life time value) of that customer will increase. We'll be posting more in line with this topic weekly, hope to hear your thoughts. Have a great day.
Transcribe →Quick Introduction to Vermaak Marketing and My Personal Brand - Alistair Vermaak
Jan 23, 201900:00:14Tap to summarizeI just wanted to launch this podcast by introducing myself and letting you know what I plan for my podcast. It's my very first recording, so bear with me here. They say you get better at it over time. Let's see how we do. I plan to make this a weekly podcast, but if i'm being honest, I think it's easier to create audio content than it is to write, besides, who has the time to read a lot of stuff anyway. Hey, let me jump off here, have a great day.
