Chris, how are

9

Chris Brisson: you?

10

I'm doing great.

11

How are you doing Jake?

12

Jake Hower: Yeah, I'm fantastic.

13

Thanks.

14

This is an episode I was looking forward

to getting you on because basically you

15

run a company, Automize is a company which

offers marketing automation tools for

16

obviously marketers and businesses, a call

loop auto webinar and auto teller seminar.

17

So I'd love to speak to you today

about, how about integrating some

18

of these into the marketing funnels?

19

Chris Brisson: Yeah, I look forward to it.

20

I know we got a lot to

talk about with that.

21

Jake Hower: Let's give our listener

a little bit of context, Chris.

22

How about you give us a little bit

about yourself, a bit about your

23

backgrounds and how Automize came

24

Chris Brisson: about.

25

Yeah, the real quick story is 19.

26

And started selling rims and tires on

27

about marketing, but ended up selling

the company a couple of years later,

28

but knew nothing about marketing or

selling or anything for that matter.

29

So I really went on like a quest

to figure out how do you sell.

30

How do you market and you know read

everything i could on my direct

31

response and just old school marketing

and then was like man there's gotta

32

be people online learning this stuff

for teaching this stuff and so that's

33

when i came across a lot of the people

that i'm sure you're familiar with.

34

Yannick Silver and gosh, Perry Marshall,

all these names and just got revealed,

35

heard about this whole world and really

just dove in deep to learn everything

36

I could about marketing and selling.

37

And through that process started, a

bunch of websites some information

38

products that were really successful,

very automated and started really

39

getting into the software side of things.

40

And we had a a replicated website system

a couple of years ago that was fully

41

automated, great business, and that

kind of funded the marketing education

42

and, I did product launches for clients.

43

And made them a lot of money and through

the process took a guy's business

44

that was like making 1, 000 a month

and he went on to make like half a

45

million dollars his first year and

I completely automated his business.

46

And so through that I was

like, man I like this stuff.

47

I like doing it for clients,

but it's not my business.

48

And I didn't have anything.

49

I know it's all said and done and really

through doing launches and building

50

campaigns and marketing, there was a

lot of loops or a lot of broken kind of

51

systems and one of the things that, we

were doing is we were automating email.

52

We were automating, as much as

we could, there were systems out

53

there that you could automate.

54

My, my whole goal is like create

just a very autonomous business.

55

And through that, I was like, man, we

wanted to integrate text messaging and

56

voice messaging into our sequences.

57

And so the idea that's where call loop

came from was the ability, Hey, we

58

want to add text messaging and voice

messaging into our marketing campaign to

59

reach people from all these different.

60

Angles and through that, and we created

auto tele seminar, which automates tele

61

seminars, and we have a lot of webinars

as well, but it really just came to that

62

down to the fact that we wanted this stuff

for ourself and we decided to build it.

63

And we wanted to just create a

business to where we didn't have to

64

necessarily be there to communicate

right from multiple channels or to

65

convert people to becoming a customer.

66

And that's where, auto teleseminar,

it allowed us to essentially automate,

67

making money, which was cool.

68

Yeah,

69

Jake Hower: fantastic.

70

That's great.

71

I'm sorry.

72

You would call yourself more a

marketer than a software guy.

73

Chris Brisson: Yeah, I'm totally

more marketer than software.

74

The thing that really gets me excited

is marketing, creating campaigns and.

75

Writing copy, which, it sometimes can get

pretty laborious, but for the most part,

76

I'm very product driven and like user

driven and like, how can we create like

77

a kick butt product and make it simple?

78

And mix in like marketing into

that to grow the business.

79

So I'm very marketerish, but I'm very

product, like a very high emphasis on

80

creating a very simple, easy product.

81

So sure.

82

Jake Hower: So with call loop, is this

something when you're creating it,

83

we already integrating SMS marketing.

84

Into your campaigns, or is this was

call it, born out of the fact you

85

wanted to trial it and see how that was,

going and what impact that was making.

86

Yeah,

87

Chris Brisson: Really called was born out

of like the frustration of not having it.

88

So there is some platforms out there,

but none of them integrated, right?

89

Cause at the time we were using a

Weber and we were using one shopping

90

cart and we're using PayPal.

91

And so the thing that I wanted

to do was, people aren't going to

92

text in a keyword to join my group.

93

They're most likely

going to buy a product.

94

They're going to opt in

on a web form, right?

95

To get it on the newsletter, or

maybe they're going to join a tele

96

seminar or join a webinar, right?

97

So I'm collecting information on

a lot of different places, right?

98

Customers in what shopping

cart subscribers in a Weber and

99

all these different platforms.

100

And so there was nothing that

integrated with those systems.

101

I was like, gosh, we need,

we need to build this.

102

And, we just started slowly and,

built the product for ourselves,

103

showed it to a bunch of friends.

104

And, they just, they really liked

it and they started using it.

105

And so it really just came out of

the frustration of not having that

106

because that's the problem that we

faced was, There was nothing that

107

integrated to make it seamless.

108

Sure.

109

Jake Hower: I got you.

110

Got you.

111

All right.

112

Can you give us some broad overview

stats of what impact SMS marketing has

113

in terms of, open rates cut through

for the market, et cetera, et cetera.

114

Chris Brisson: Yeah.

115

The interesting thing is, SMS and

voice messaging, for marketers.

116

It's really seen as a

communication channel.

117

Marketers maybe see it as, Oh, how can I,

pitch something or drive sales with it?

118

And you can, but the way you have to look

at it is how can I communicate better?

119

How can I, make these systems

easier or automate billing?

120

There's all things you can do with it.

121

And the things that really got

me excited was, there is no other

122

platform or communication channel

ever like in the history of the

123

world that is this effective, is this

immediate and is this cost effective.

124

So a text message gets

open 97 percent right?

125

That's insane.

126

If you were to send literally a hundred

messages, 97 of those people will open

127

the email or open the text and read it.

128

I have a.

129

Android phone but i had an iphone and i

have to eliminate the messages or else

130

they stay on my like desktop screen and

so you know with that effectiveness it's

131

like holy cow how could you not use this

the key is to use it effectively so the

132

other thing is that within 15 minutes

85 percent of those people will open the

133

message so when you talk about immediate

it Like messaging that you need to get

134

out when it counts a text is the way

to do it on the flip side of your send

135

an email open rates from 2007 to 2009

136

2 you know we're in 2013 so it's

like less than 8 percent so when

137

you're looking for a way to get your

message across and get it out there.

138

Hands down, there's no other

better way than a text message.

139

Yeah, that's brilliant.

140

Yeah.

141

And it works.

142

It's extremely effective.

143

So the cool thing with text is you can

put in a link so people can, if they have

144

a smartphone and they have access to the

internet through their phone, you can

145

put it in a link and people can click the

link and go to a webpage, or you could

146

put a YouTube link in the text message.

147

And because youtube is an app on

virtually, here in the states, every

148

phone, android, as long as it's

a smartphone they have a youtube.

149

So if you send a youtube

link, they click it.

150

Boom.

151

Now I can pop up a video.

152

You can put phone numbers in it.

153

There's so many unique ways to

to use it to push out a message.

154

Now again, marketing is

just one way to use it.

155

It's really about effective communication,

156

Jake Hower: yeah, definitely.

157

And that's what we're going to

cover listener in today's episode.

158

We're going to run through and look

at how you can use SMS for traffic

159

for lead generation and for sales.

160

And to Chris's point, the key

here is how to use it effectively.

161

So Chris, why don't you kick us

off with how you can integrate.

162

SMS for traffic generation.

163

Let's focus on the perspective of an

Infusionsoft user both yourself and

164

myself are Infusionsoft users, but

you can certainly replicate what we

165

do with Infusionsoft in this example

with something like an Entreport.

166

Yeah,

167

Chris Brisson: for lead generation.

168

So there's a lot of ways.

169

So one is.

170

Through keywords.

171

And what a keyword is basically

if you've ever gone to a concert

172

or here in the states, they're

all over, or your pizza shop.

173

You see the thing that says,

Hey, text, pizza to 3 8, 4 7

174

oh, or text Mike to 3 8 4 7 Oh.

175

So as a way to list build

it's a phenomenal way.

176

Now think about maybe most of your folks

are probably online internet marketers

177

and they go that doesn't work for me.

178

There's a company called julep and

julep sells nail polish, right?

179

Like women's products and they wanted

to build their text message list.

180

So what they ended up doing

is they did a simple contest.

181

And part of the contest actually didn't

do the contest they did it basically

182

an incentive to build their list they

get 50 percent off so hey text in julep

183

to three four seven zero and get 50

percent off right and so they had all

184

these people text in and five thousand

people within twenty four hours.

185

Opted in to get that now what does

that do well number one they got a 50

186

percent coupon which is a deadline within

seven days or whatever and it's gonna

187

drive sales so that's one way an online

business can use keywords now let's say

188

your speaker and you're in front of.

189

Three hundred people or a thousand people

or five hundred or whatever and you want

190

to because you're a smart marketer you

want to collect those leads or collect

191

that contact information from the people

in the crowd so a couple ways you can

192

do that one is pass flyers around two is

hey go to my website and opt in three is

193

like me on facebook or whatever four is.

194

Hey, to get the slides or to get

this extra bonus, break out your

195

cell phone, text me at Chris at

196

So everybody in the room has a cell

phone and they can send a text message.

197

They may or may not be in front of

their computer and more importantly,

198

they're not going to fill out

a form and do all this stuff.

199

They're going to send a text message.

200

And so one of my friends Tyler Garns, he

it was actually the marketing guy, right?

201

The former marketing guy at infusion soft.

202

He's man, yeah, we use it every

time we went to to do an event.

203

We got like a 92 percent open rate

or 92 percent like opt in rate.

204

So if you have 100 people in a room,

he had 92 people in the room, break,

205

open their phone, text that in.

206

And what does that do?

207

He just built his list.

208

So hugely, wildly effective.

209

Now, if you have an offline business,

the same thing works, right?

210

Texting a keyword and that type of stuff.

211

Yeah.

212

You got to think about it like as

an incentive to get people to join.

213

I would

214

Jake Hower: assume that you need to

ensure that the traffic source is the

215

most relevant for the type of meeting

you're asking them to opt in on.

216

So SMS works with live crowds.

217

I'm sure it would work fantastically

well at conferences as well,

218

and probably hazard a guess at

something like radio advertising

219

or potentially even TV advertising.

220

It'd probably work quite well.

221

Yeah.

222

Chris Brisson: Yeah, absolutely.

223

Any sort of like offline media,

keyword stuff works really well now.

224

You know for a for generating traffic and

so a good example how we use texting in

225

our business will be see a huge increase

in a lot of our customers as well as.

226

You know when somebody registers for a

webinar they register for tell a seminar

227

in this falls under the reminder category

because texting is a lot i mean it's

228

not just marketing but it's reminders

it's notifications it's alerts and so

229

what we found when we did our webinars.

230

And and Jake, I would imagine, there's a

reason why you created fused app, right?

231

Absolutely.

232

And so one of the problems that we found

was that we would get a hundred people

233

to sign up, but like 25 people would

show up or 10 people would show up.

234

And so it came down to is if

we get more people to, if we

235

know our conversion rates.

236

How do we get more people to show

up to our event so we can show this

237

in front of more people to make more

money and it came down to sending a

238

text message sending a voice message

right and applying this multi channel

239

approach to communication to reminding

people and so the problem is when you.

240

Most people when they sign up for a

webinar, they go back to like their daily

241

life and they forget about it and and

people forget that they registered for it.

242

They didn't put it in there, I calendar.

243

They didn't put in their

calendar, whatever.

244

They're just they're busy

doing whatever they're doing.

245

And so with the text message.

246

Some of our clients have seen like

40, 50 percent increase in attendance.

247

One of our clients, they see a literally,

I believe that the core number is

248

like 518 return on investment, or I'm

sorry, 518 percent return on investment

249

when they use a text message, right?

250

And they use them all the time because

it works when they don't use it.

251

They see a huge drop in

their attendance rates.

252

Because people just forget right

like they just forgot about it and

253

the reminder the friendly reminder.

254

It's not spammy or scammy, or

you're abusing it, but it's like,

255

Hey, we're starting 15 minutes.

256

Love to see you here.

257

Boom, and it gets people to show up.

258

Yeah, that's

259

Jake Hower: great.

260

A couple of things I'd love to

delve into a little bit on that.

261

I, in your pre webinar sequence,

when do you include SMS?

262

Three days out or is it just on the day

of the webinar you find is most effective?

263

Chris Brisson: Yeah.

264

And Ryan Dice was really

the one that kind of.

265

We're at traffic and conversion and they

use call loop and what they do best and

266

what we've seen works best is what we

like to do is, on the registration page.

267

In fact, we don't send people

to go to webinar like www3.

268

go to webinar, that link that they give

you, we actually integrate with plus this.

269

Which is a little app or whatever, but

basically we drive them to a registration

270

page, which is a infusion soft web

form, and we collect first name, last

271

name, email and optional mobile phone.

272

So once they opt in, they get put

into infusion soft and then we can

273

run sequences, tags, all that stuff.

274

Same thing goes for a Webber

call loop integrates with it.

275

So what happens is right away we

want to send them a text message.

276

The reason for that is we want to build

that communication right from the onset

277

the big problem we see a lot of people

make is they start building this list

278

they build this list and two weeks

later they send out a text message and

279

people like what's like who are you

why are you texting me and so right

280

from the get go it's just like an email

autoresponder right as soon as you sign

281

up boom you get an email hey thanks

for coming on board same thing with

282

the text boom send him a text message

and we say hey thanks for registering.

283

We'll send you a text message

15 minutes before on Thursday,

284

2 PM, July 20th, right?

285

Or whatever the date is.

286

And we actually merged that in

with like custom fields and stuff.

287

So we'll send it right away.

288

And then the day of the event, what we'll

do is we'll send out a voice call, a

289

voice broadcast, which is basically an

automated phone call to them 30 minutes

290

before the reason we do a voice broadcast.

291

I'm in actual fifteen minutes

before the webinar starts we send

292

a text as well but the reason we

send a voice broadcast is because.

293

When people register for the webinar,

I'm under the assumption that

294

they're not going to give me their

mobile phone, so a text message

295

can only reach cell phones, right?

296

It's impossible to send a text message

to a landline, so we want to cover

297

100% Of those phone numbers with our

communication message right with our

298

message about hey the webinar starting so

we send a voice broadcast thirty minutes

299

before that basically says hey it's

chris you signed up for the xyz webinar.

300

Let's know we're gonna be starting

about 30 minutes so I just sent you

301

an email it has a link in there.

302

In about 15 minutes, you'll get a

text message as well, just another

303

friendly reminder and I look forward

to having you on board for the call.

304

So thanks so much and

we'll see you real soon.

305

Very simple.

306

Nothing weird about it.

307

And then 15 minutes later, just

like I said, they'll get a text

308

message and a text message again.

309

Hey, it's Chris.

310

Just another reminder.

311

We're just starting 15 minutes.

312

Looking forward to seeing it.

313

And that's what we find works well.

314

And then we've tested immediately

right when the webinar starts.

315

Which works well as well, but just to

preframe people, because again, they

316

may be busy doing something else.

317

We want people to set aside the

time and actually, get ready

318

to show up for the webinar

319

Jake Hower: brewing and pot Bay of that,

which is I guess almost covered that

320

last text message about 15 minutes prior.

321

Do you include the dial in details

for the webinar, or is it simply just

322

a reminder to go back and check your

emails or to log in 15 minutes time?

323

Yeah, in

324

Chris Brisson: that text, we just

say, Hey, we're starting in the

325

XYZ webinar starting in 15 minutes.

326

I just sent you an email with

your login link, see you soon.

327

And so we just, again,

it's all through infusion.

328

So we send that automatically.

329

But we don't include a call in number.

330

Now, if it's a tele seminar, it makes

sense to do that, but the webinar, because

331

it's visual, they need to see the link.

332

Now, one cool thing is a go to

webinar actually has a an app.

333

So what you could do is you could.

334

Drop in the go to webinar url which is

unique for that contact and they can

335

view it on their phone the reason i don't

want that is i've attended webinars on

336

my phone it's very passive right like it

doesn't it's it i don't I literally in

337

one click, I can just get off of it, so

we don't want necessarily people if they

338

want to get on their phone, they can get

on their phone from their email, but I

339

don't want to drive people from the phone

for them to click on the link for them to

340

hop on for 2 minutes and then, hop off.

341

So it's what we do that

342

Jake Hower: makes a lot of sense.

343

I guess the call to action in the

webinar you're holding a little

344

bit harder to perform the call

to action from a phone as well.

345

I'd imagine.

346

Chris Brisson: Absolutely.

347

Jake Hower: Yeah, absolutely.

348

All right.

349

Fantastic.

350

So let's keep going along the line.

351

Where next, where else do

you integrate SMS marketing?

352

Oh man,

353

Chris Brisson: it's really cool things.

354

Now we use it with like

billing automation.

355

So for example, we have

a membership, right?

356

And people sign up, they pay per month.

357

In any membership, you have

credit cards that fail.

358

And, in order to keep on top of that,

fortunately we use Infusionsoft.

359

But what happens is cards fail and, we

send an email, we do all that stuff and

360

most people may not do anything at all.

361

But what we do is when a card fails.

362

During the hours of, regular business

hours, from nine to five, nine to

363

six, we send them a text message and

just say, Hey, we noticed there's

364

a problem with your credit card.

365

Call us at, 888 230 337

and we'll get you set up.

366

We can even do a voice broadcast

call and says, Hey, it's Chris.

367

Just notice your credit card was having

some issues to keep your account active.

368

Go ahead and press one.

369

Press one now and to get

transferred to our support team.

370

So you can do a voice broadcast.

371

We call this call transfers So when you

do that voice broadcast You can set it

372

up to where hey again, hey, thanks for

calling to get transferred to billing.

373

Go ahead and press one once they

press one, then they get redirected

374

to our phone and somebody picks it

up and they can take care of them.

375

So building automation is huge.

376

In follow up sequences,

appointment reminders, right?

377

This is a big one.

378

So if you have any service business or any

business that revolves around appointments

379

and people showing up, There's probably

a huge problem you have a people not

380

showing up and that means like you're

losing money and people just forget they

381

have stuff going on like you know we're

human so you know a great way to do it is.

382

You know we actually set up a campaign

i was talking to a customer of ours

383

yesterday and help them get this going

was you know when somebody sets up an

384

appointment send a text message right

away right just again let them know.

385

Here's your appointment date you're

confirmed boom so they have that in

386

their text message so they can always

go back to it to remind themselves right

387

next two days before the event send

a text message or even a day before

388

the event sentiment other text message

page want to know your appointment

389

on july thirtieth tuesday at two p.

390

m.

391

you know is tomorrow and then

the day of you can send a text.

392

That says hey your appointment

is today at four p.

393

m.

394

you know call our office at five five

five if anything changes right so and you

395

see a huge increase in people actually

showing up and you like massively

396

decrease no shows which today is.

397

That makes you money, right?

398

And so that's a process you can

automate to drive more people

399

to show up for the appointments,

400

Jake Hower: yeah, I was just

going through my head, looking at

401

all the different possibilities.

402

I'm one that comes straight to

mind is potentially following up

403

of hard bounce email addresses.

404

Yeah.

405

Sounds like a fantastic way to

automate that process as well.

406

Chris Brisson: Yeah actually the guy was

talking to yesterday he actually the dog

407

fence business and when somebody fills

out a web form he collects first name

408

last name email and phone number and we

actually set this up yesterday so what

409

happens is when they're in that sequence.

410

And you can set this up in

infusion, basically it's

411

email automation or something.

412

So if it hard bounces, send

them a text message, right?

413

Or apply this tag and that tag

then triggers that sequence,

414

which sends that text.

415

So we just set that yesterday.

416

Cause I asked him, said, how many emails

do you get and how many of them are fail?

417

He's man, we probably get

maybe 10 percent fail.

418

But they give us valid phone

numbers and it's not their fault.

419

They just maybe mistyped it or whatever.

420

And so that's a, yeah, that's

another cool way as well.

421

Jake Hower: I could just

see it straight away.

422

Text message straight away voice

broadcast a day later or something.

423

And then a task for a consultant to follow

up if they haven't confirmed by then.

424

Chris Brisson: Yeah.

425

1, 1 cool thing.

426

I'm sure, Jermaine Griggs,

but do you know Jermaine?

427

Yes.

428

Yes.

429

Okay.

430

So he he has a really cool strategy

and I learned this from him.

431

We actually applied to.

432

Thank you.

433

All of our stuff right because it's

just it works until he does is after

434

two days after somebody purchases he

gives me a call and he gives me a call

435

and you know the cool thing with call

loop is you could play unique messages.

436

Based on if they pick up the

phone, they see if it's alive, real

437

person, or if it goes to voicemail.

438

So think about that, right?

439

Here's what Jermaine does is when

somebody picks up the phone, obviously,

440

they know it's a recorded call.

441

So you might as well just come out and

say it and say, Hey, it's Jermaine.

442

Obviously, it's a recorded call, but.

443

Hey i was just going to the orders

once i think so much about now it

444

goes to voicemail what your pain

does is funny but it's personal and

445

so you like tickles babies rustling

papers around you just making it sound

446

like very normal and just like he

called that customer and automated.

447

And he's Chris, he's you wouldn't

believe how many of our customers

448

call the office wanting to speak

to me because they just got a phone

449

call from me and they missed it.

450

That's just, it's a cool way to.

451

You know extend the personality in your

business right when nobody is doing

452

anything besides maybe just sending

you an email you know you need to

453

stand out and that's how you build you

know a community it's a little culture

454

you know that's how you build the

personality in the business and today

455

that's how people get to like you.

456

And we all know it comes down to people

do business with people that they

457

know and trust, and the more trust

and likeability you can build into

458

your business, it's just going to,

it's going to work way better for you.

459

Brilliant.

460

Jake Hower: That's brilliant.

461

What other applications do you use it?

462

How do you use it for for instance, for

sales, is it more just a, about what

463

we've been talking about here and just

building that trust to the point of sales,

464

or do you actually have a set way you

can use it to increase sales as well?

465

Chris Brisson: Yeah.

466

If you think about it

again, it's super powerful.

467

So in the juleps case, they number one

gave a great incentive, 50 percent off,

468

which is awesome on a physical product.

469

And so they built their list

huge and they drove sales, right?

470

You got a coupon.

471

Use it and or else it ends in seven

days so i remember andy jenkins from

472

stopper net are you familiar with

andy i'm sure you are right video

473

bus yeah there you go so handy when

he still has this company i think.

474

But he sold like swords and

just geeky, nerdy products.

475

But but anyhow, on his site, I remember

476

and on the right side of his website

on his swords website said, Hey, opt in

477

here to get 10 percent off right now.

478

He would get all these new leads

to come in and he would give them

479

a 10 percent off coupon, right?

480

Great way to, Convert a visitor to a

lead and then into a customer i give an

481

instant discount so the same thing can

be done for you right it's give somebody

482

some sort of incentive to join your list

to buy your products to give you money.

483

You know the hardest part the hardest

way to grow your the hardest thing

484

in any business is to acquire new

customers and when you know you can

485

give a little incentive to get people to

make a purchase or become part of your

486

process, you need to do that, right?

487

You need to go out of your

way to make that stuff happen.

488

And with a text message, here's what

happens when you start to build that list.

489

You have both sides you have if you

have a hundred people and you send a

490

text message to them ninety seven of

those are going to get that message.

491

On the flip side, you send 100

emails, maybe eight will open

492

and one will click and then you

have the conversion on that side.

493

So when you go from straight text right

in the inbox and in the text message,

494

Hey, this could be for your own.

495

Customer list let's have a new offer a new

discount or a new product that's launching

496

and you wanna push people drive sales

guess what you have a hundred people in

497

your text message list or ten thousand

people you know you can send email but

498

same time what's the return on investment.

499

For those channels emails free right

the text messaging you know if you

500

invest sixty bucks to make three grand

like you do that all day long because

501

it's that effective so when you have

a list what do you, you mail the list

502

and that's how you're gonna generate

money right a good example and this

503

is going to the webinar side but.

504

Jack born works for Perry Marshall.

505

He's the marketing manager there.

506

And they do webinars and stuff

and they had that problem where

507

no one would show up and whatever.

508

So there's a cost to doing

text messaging, right?

509

That's just part of the deal.

510

At such a cheap rate, it's

definitely worth it because

511

of the effectiveness of it.

512

So they would invest 60 bucks.

513

And they would make 3000.

514

So they invested 60 knowing that it's

going to convert, it's going to bring more

515

people and it's going to make more money.

516

Really that's like the easiest way to

do it is just send an offer, right?

517

Or give them a discount.

518

Tell them about your new product.

519

It's just like your email list,

except you don't want to abuse it.

520

You want to keep that channel open.

521

So a good example of that is it stopped

me if I'm like blabbing, but there's

522

so much cool stuff to talk about.

523

Is Jermaine Greggs, right?

524

Again, what he does is to build his

text message list is after you opt in

525

on his website and the next page, he

says, Hey, join my mobile music Monday.

526

Like he teaches like play by

ear, how to teach people how to

527

play guitar and piano by ear.

528

It's actually opt in the next page he

asked them for their mobile phone number

529

so you can send them a mobile music monday

because you may not want to ask for the

530

phone number on the first form because

it's gonna probably lower conversions.

531

Right maybe just wanna get email only

and then after the next page you can

532

ask for it that's what you mean does

every monday he sends him a little

533

hey here's three chords but what

he doesn't do he doesn't abuse that

534

channel right what a lot of people

may do is they may just hammer there.

535

Mobile phones of their customers that

are clients and people they tarnish

536

that relationship and so by offering

the value of every monday you get a

537

new cord from jermaine he keeps that

loop open so when it does come time

538

to baby promote a new product or to

recommend something or to drive people

539

to a new launch funnel or something.

540

He has it open because he's offered value.

541

And he hasn't abused it.

542

So that makes sense.

543

Jake Hower: It does.

544

Yeah.

545

It all sounds fantastic.

546

And to me, it just sounds like there

isn't a reason you shouldn't be using

547

SMS in your in your marketing campaigns.

548

Yeah.

549

Chris Brisson: And you, obviously

you want to use it sparingly.

550

It's not something you're going to.

551

Use every day because, it's

it's in everyone's pockets.

552

And if you're that annoying pest in their

pocket, that's going to relate to online

553

and you're not going to make too many

554

Jake Hower: friends.

555

556
