Let's Chat About Chatbots - An Introduction to Conversational Marketing

Date: Wednesday, April 10, 2019 @ 1 pm Eastern

This week we "chat" about chatbots and how the concept of conversation marketing is changing how people interact with brands online. Chatbots, many of which are powered by AI and can engage with you audience even when you're not available, are quickly becoming a preferred means of online interaction and getting information from brands.

Eric recently was a panelist at the S&P Global Community Bankers Conference in Dallas, and talked about ways to engage and build relationships (and conversations) with customers and those you're interested in doing business with. If you're looking for a more effective and personal way to engage with the digital consumer, then chatbots and conversational marketing needs to be at at the top of your "to do" list.

Tips to Keep Your Social Media Accounts Secure

Date: Wednesday, January 16, 2019 @ 1 pm Eastern

This week on the show you learn how to protect and "lock down" your social media accounts, as Eric shares with you how to enable two-step verification for your Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter accounts. This feature is also available on many of the other social networking sites such as Snapchat, Instagram, Pinterest, and others... and is a great way to enhance the security and protection of your online accounts.

Plus, to help you create and manage a complex and unique password for all of your accounts (yes, you should NOT be using the same password for multiple accounts), Eric shares a service called LastPass. While there are others out there, this happens to be the one that Eric and his team use to keep passwords and important information safe and secure.

So, let 2019 be the year that you put security first and get those social media accounts locked down (and start to use complex and UNIQUE passwords). Enjoy!

Kicking off 2019 - GoToWebinar Threw Us a Curveball

Date: Wednesday, January 9, 2019 @ 1 pm Eastern

This week will be a short show, and quite honestly we're not sure how many of you will be able to join the session live. You see, somehow the recurring sessions for the show were mysteriously deleted from the system at the end of 2018. This causes the web links that our subscribers have in their calendar events to no longer work! 

After about an hour on the phone and even getting transferred to a supervisor to see how we could "undo" this expiration issue, no luck. The session(s) all had to be recreated again. This also means that anyone interested in joining the show live will now need to update their event link, or no longer be able to attend the show! We're so sorry... :-(

With that out of the way... this week's show will provide a quick recap of a recent webinar that Eric conducted as part of his Banker Education Series show with Jason Henrichs and JP Nicols from FinTech Forge and their new innovation initiative called Ally Labs. Regardless of whether you're in the banking space or not, Jason and JP share some excellent insight on how you can embrace innovation and what steps you need to be taking (regardless of industry) to remain relevant to today's consumer.
