[01:00] It works through DM’s. [01:25] If you are a brand, you can ask people to DM you and from there, you can set up automatic responses. [02:08] On social platforms, the best way to drive conversions is to engage your followers. [03:05] Drift has written great content on conversational marketing. [03:25] 2% of Eric’s leads are from conversational marketing. [04:22] It’s important to use the chatbots to drive people to other content, an email list, or some other aspect of your marketing funnel.
