It's an asset that'll produce leads and sales for you, month and month, year after year.

How much revenue can I expect to see?
An icon that helps you navigate the website

The industry norm right now is that every business adds an extra 10% min in sales in the first 30 days (organically), and then build on top of that.

In terms of actual figures, that'll vary from business to business, how much traffic or social engagement you get. Some of our clients have hit $3k/day organically in 60 days, others have hit $4k/day in 7 days.

What is the email/phone number capture rate inside chat funnels?

100%. We were one of few agencies in Facebook's beta program in early 2021, testing Instagram DM with our clients, before Facebook released it to the public.

What if I don't get many organic DMs to my pages?
An icon that helps you navigate the website

There are multiple traffic sources to push traffic to your DMs and start more conversations.

From people commenting on your organic posts or paid ads, replying to your stories, mentioning you in their stories, visiting your BIO, clicking a button on your website or even scanning a QR code on your package.

From there, the experience can be scaled with chatbot conversion ads. Most of our clients currently see between a 2x-5x ROAS with these types of ads.

Can I continue to use Zendesk or Gorgias even after we deploy automation behind Facebook Messenger or Instagram DM?
An icon that helps you navigate the website

Yes, you can continue to handle all opened conversations with the human (the ones the chatbot cannot handle) in Zendesk, Gorgias, etc.

It varies depending on the chat funnel objective. When people opt in with the intent of getting a feebie (for example enter a giveaway, or download a lead magnet) the purchase rate is between 7%-15%.

When they opt in through a sales chat funnel (for example claim a discount or take a recommendation quiz) the purchase rate is between 15%-30%.
