Buying has transformed radically in the last half-decade, causing growth rates to plummet, customer acquisition costs to skyrocket, and churn rates to surge.

A well-designed chatbot helps you start conversations with website visitors when you’re online, or capture their info for later outreach when you’re not. This is a gigantic advantage for an inbound sales team.

What’s missing is CERTAINTY and EVIDENCE of POSITIVE CHANGE. We all want our people to succeed. And no manager likes to fire anyone.
