OVER DEZE AFLEVERING
Chris Dillon, automation specialist and widely recognised as "the WhatsApp guy," joins the show to share how an obsession with customer experience, psychology, and processes has helped hundreds of businesses transform their sales journeys often before they even know they need to.
In this episode, we dive into why most businesses lose leads before the sales call even happens, how the smallest customer experience details make the biggest difference, and why automating WhatsApp follow-ups will skyrocket your engagement rates, if you get the messaging right.
Chris shares stories from DJing in Magaluf to speaking on global stages, what nightclubs can teach you about human behaviour, and how he doubled a client’s webinar attendance simply by tweaking a single automated message. He also reveals his unorthodox "pattern interrupt" trick that guarantees audience participation, every time.
You’ll walk away knowing exactly why "nobody gives a shit about your business," how to spot blind spots in your customer journey, and practical ways to build seamless, highly converting processes, plus the mindset shift that turns curious prospects into raving clients.
