Episode Transcript
Hey everyone and welcome back.
You know how sometimes runninga business feels like you're
caught in a windstorm Leads areswirling all around, but never
seem to land.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Yeah, I know that feeling.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Well, today we're going deep on how to use some
advanced tools to grab thoseleads before they blow away.
And don't worry, this isn'tabout your grandma's old
customer relationship managementsystem.
We're talking about the cuttingedge stuff.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
It really is fascinating the business world
today.
It's not enough to just existanymore, you know.
The key is to really captureattention and make this whole
customer journey feel effortless.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
And that's where the article we're diving into today
really hits the mark.
It talks about that, thatfeeling of watching potential
sales just disappear, kind oflike ships passing in the night.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
And it's incredibly frustrating Because you know
those ships are carryingpotential revenue.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Exactly.
So how do we stop that?
It's not about franticallytaking notes and hoping you
remember every lead, right?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Right.
It's about having the righttools in place.
You need something to reelthose leads in before they even
think about drifting away.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
So are we talking about like trading in a fishing
line for a high tech net?
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Exactly.
Think about how many more fishyou could catch or, in this case
, how much more revenue youcould generate, and it's not
just about the initial catcheither, right?
Speaker 1 (01:16):
It's about reeling them in and keeping them hooked,
building those long termrelationships.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
You got it.
Customer retention is key.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Okay, so we're talking about boosting revenue
and keeping those customershappy music to any business
owner's ears, I'm sure.
But when we say advanced tools,what are we really talking
about here?
Does this require a degree inrocket science?
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Not at all.
The article actually uses agreat analogy a Swiss army knife
.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Okay, I like where this is going.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
These tools are versatile.
You know they're user friendly,adaptable to your specific
business needs.
Think of them as a multi toolfor business growth.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Less headache, more sales that's the dream right.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Absolutely, and that's what these tools are
designed to do Streamline yourprocess, and they do this
through things like automation,analytics, integration, and they
do this through things likeautomation analytics integration
Buzzwords, buzzwords, buzzwords.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I'm sure you'll break it down for us, so let's start
with automation.
What does that actually mean inthis context?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Well, think about all the repetitive tasks you do
manually every day, sendingfollow-up emails, updating
spreadsheets, trying to rememberwho said what and when.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Don't remind me.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
So imagine having a virtual assistant that works 247
, never sleeps.
It's constantly nurturing thoseleads, making sure none of them
slip through the cracks.
That's the power of automation.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
So basically, a team of tireless robots working
behind the scenes Love it, okay.
What about analytics?
Where does that fit into all ofthis?
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Data is king.
Analytics is aboutunderstanding your customer on a
deeper level.
What makes them pick?
What makes them click that buynow button?
Speaker 1 (02:51):
So it's like having a customer whisper on your team,
revealing the secrets of thecustomer's mind.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Exactly these tools gather valuable, valuable data
that you can then use to reallyrefine your marketing, your
sales funnel, your entireapproach.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
So, instead of just throwing spaghetti at the wall
and hoping something sticks,we're talking about a targeted
approach 100%.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
It's about being smart, strategic and efficient
with your efforts.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
But all that data, it can be overwhelming, to say the
least.
How do these tools help us makesense of it all?
We're not all data scientistshere.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
And you don't have to be.
That's the beauty of it.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Right.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Yeah, it's about presenting it in a way that
anyone can understand and, moreimportantly, actually use.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
So we're not just like drowning in a sea of
numbers, we're actually usingthose numbers to you know chart
a course for success.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Exactly.
These aren't just like datadumps.
They analyze it and present theinformation in a way that's
easy to understand and use.
So, for example, let's say youranalytics show that people who
read a specific blog post onyour website are 20 percent more
likely to buy something.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
OK, interesting.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
So then you can use that to steer more people
towards that content you know,create targeted email campaigns
around it.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Yeah, yeah.
So you're basically thinkinglike a what is it?
A data driven strategist.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Exactly, now you're getting it.
And speaking of strategy, thearticle made a really good point
about personalization.
You know the good old genericmessaging it just doesn't work
anymore.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Oh, tell me about it.
Like I got an email the otherday, right, and they actually
used my name and they wererecommending stuff based on you
know, things I'd actually boughtfrom them before.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
It's all about that personal touch.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Yeah, it felt way more personal than those generic
ShopNow emails and it made meway more likely to buy something
.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
And those advanced tools.
They can help you replicatethat on a larger scale.
You know, creating thosetargeted emails, personalizing
your website, even tailoringyour chatbot interactions.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
It's like having a team of expert salespeople who
just know exactly what eachcustomer wants before they even
ask.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Exactly.
Let's say, for example, you runa pet supply store, right, you
wouldn't send the same emailpromoting cat toys to someone
who just bought a dog leash.
It's about knowing youraudience and customizing that
message.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
So data-driven personalization.
But you know it's important toclarify something we're not
saying that everyone needs tobecome a data scientist to use
these tools.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
No, not at all.
You don't need a PhD in dataanalysis to make this work.
These tools are actuallydesigned to do all the heavy
lifting.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
So they're like our own personal data interpreters.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
That's a great way to put it.
They collect the data, analyzeit and then present it to you in
a way that's easy to understandand act on.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
So it's less about crunching numbers and more about
making strategic decisionsbased on what those numbers are
telling us.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Now you're getting it on what those numbers are
telling us.
Now you're getting it.
Speaking of which, the articlementioned a case study online
boutique that was struggling toconvite website visitors into
paying customers.
They had really high bouncerates.
Follow-up was inconsistent.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Sounds like they were stuck in quicksand.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Kind of yeah.
But then they implemented theseadvanced lead capture tools and
it changed everything for themAutomated their follow-ups,
personalized their communication, really got a handle on their
data.
And the results well, they werepretty incredible.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
What kind of changes did they see?
Give us the details.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
We saw a massive increase in their conversion
rates.
Customer satisfaction wentthrough the roof and, of course,
more sales, more sales thanever before.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Just goes to show having the right tools can
really make a world ofdifference.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
It's like trading in an old, rusty bicycle for a
high-powered sports car.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Perfect analogy.
And these tools, are theyavailable to businesses of all
sizes?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Absolutely.
You don't need a massive budgetor a dedicated tech team to
implement these.
There are options out there foreveryone.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
That's great.
So for our listeners who arehearing this thinking, sign me
up.
I need this yesterday.
Where do they even begin?
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Well, I think the first step is to really take a
look at your current leadcapture setup.
What's working, what's not,what are your biggest pain
points?
And once you have a clearpicture of that, you can start
exploring different tools.
See what fits your goals, yourbudget.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
So, like finding the perfect pair of jeans, you need
something that fits well,comfortable, makes you look good
.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Exactly.
Look for solutions that areuser-friendly, clear reporting
features, maybe even somebuilt-in automation.
To get you started.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
And training's got to be important too.
Right, because you can have thebest tools in the world, but if
no one knows how to use them,100%.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Invest in proper training for your team, make
sure they know how to use thetools effectively, how it can
help them do their jobs better.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
It's about empowering your team, not just equipping
them.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Exactly.
And once you've got the tools,the training, the key is to stay
flexible, adaptable, don't justset it and forget it.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
So constantly monitoring, analyzing, tweaking
your approach based on the data,the feedback.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Exactly Because the business landscape is always
changing right, so yourstrategies need to change with
it.
Stay curious, stay informed.
Never stop looking for ways toimprove.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
You know it's funny, the article we've been talking
about it urges businesses totake action right Transform
their lead capture strategies.
But I think we can take that astep further.
What if, instead of reacting toleads, we could anticipate them
?
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Now you're thinking ahead of the curve.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Imagine being able to predict which potential
customers are most likely toconvert.
You know before they even knowit themselves.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
That's where it's really interesting.
This is the cutting edge.
We're not just analyzing pastbehavior, we're using AI and
machine learning to predictfuture behavior.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
That sounds almost psychic.
How is that even possible?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Well, it's about using data in a whole new way.
Imagine being able to tailoryour approach based on what
customers are statisticallylikely to do.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Wow, so we're taking out the guesswork.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Exactly.
We're not just talking aboutkeeping up with the competition
anymore, we're talking aboutblowing past them.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
It's like having a crystal ball for your business.
Instead of just reacting to themarket, you're shaping it.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
That's a great way to put it.
It's about really harnessingthe power of data and AI, you
know, to gain that competitiveedge.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
So where can people learn more about this predictive
approach?
Are we talking about tools thatare available now, or is this
something like way off in thefuture?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
There are some really , really sophisticated tools
available right now thatactually incorporate predictive
analytics.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Okay, so it's already happening.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Oh yeah, and they might sound intimidating, but a
lot of these platforms areactually designed with the user
in mind.
So you know, do your research,find one that fits your needs,
your budget.
It's out there.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Don't be afraid to shop around a little bit.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Exactly, it's an investment, especially if you're
serious about, you know, takingthings to that next level.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
So it sounds like the businesses that are really
going to thrive.
They're the ones who areembracing these new technologies
and using them effectively.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
A hundred percent.
The landscape is changing sofast you got to stay ahead of
the curve.
