Caller: Do you have the 2025 Tahoe yet? Salesperson: Can I get your last name and number in case we get disconnected? Caller: Reluctantly…555-1212. We see this happening on chat platforms just like on calls, but this old-school approach doesn’t work today. Asking for personal info without building trust is giving robotic vibes! Plus it lowers engagement and delivers poor lead quality. People want trusted feels before they share personal details. Do you agree? Robo-style tactics hurt more than they help—flooding your BDC with unqualified leads, wasting marketing dollars, and increasing costs for BDC teams. It’s all about making human connections that build trust, so buyers engage and move further down the sales funnel. In my interview with Bill Reidy and Carol Marshall we dive into how their people-first approach to website chat improves engagement and lead quality—something I’ve been advocating for years! 🎧https://apple.co/4hgn5KS 🎧https://spoti.fi/3zVHW5n Sponsored by ActivEngage Lotlinx, Inc.
