Who actually loves sales calls? I know there are a few people who thrive on them, but for most of us out there, that’s not a reality.    These days, closing sales via Instagram DMs has appeared as this holy grail alternative to those anxiety-inducing sales calls. However, for many people, it has actually just created more work.    So, what’s the solution?    Today, I’m taking you through some practical ideas to help reduce the time spent on answering the influx of questions in your DMs and make your sales strategy a whole lot more efficient.    We’ll explore the realities and problems that come with DM sales, and my favourite solution to mitigate them: automation!   Automating messages can save a whole lot of time and energy, and you likely already have the tool to best execute this with: ManyChat.   I'll walk you through my experiments and findings over the last couple of months, illustrating how automation can be a game changer for your customer engagement.    So, tune in now and let’s get those DMs working for and not against you!    LINKS: Website |  Instagram | Programs | YouTube
