Summary: I am so frickin’ fascinated by chatbots and it’s because I recognized that reaching my audience via email was a losing proposition. No matter how much effort we were putting into better headlines, better copy, whatever, people just don’t love email. The benefit of Messenger is we don’t write long messages, we write short messages that will reach them and they actually check it. Well, today’s guest is the founder of a Messenger marketing platform that helps e-commerce companies connect with customers and drive sales. Matt Schlicht, of Octane AI, showed me what he does and blew my frickin’ mind. I invited him here because I think anyone who’s interested in Messenger as a way of communicating with customers has to see what they have done. <p><a href="https://mixergy.com/interviews/octane-ai-with-matt-schlicht/"><img src="https://mixergy.com/interviews/octane-ai-with-matt-schlicht/?get-twitter-card=true&" alt="" class="alignnone size-full"></a></p><p>Matt Schlicht is the founder of Octane.ai, a messenger marketing platform that helps ecommerce companies connect with customers and drive sales.</p> <strong>Sponsored by</strong><br><p><a href="http://www.activecampaign.com/mixergy" rel="nofollow">ActiveCampaign</a> – Improve your marketing & sales processes by upgrading to an automated platform.
