How To Get More Out Of Inbound Marketing With Live Chat

Stop Wasting Your Lead Gen Efforts

When you look at the marketing and sales funnel, there’s a reason that the opening at the bottom is a fraction of the top – it’s hard work converting leads to customers. You spend a lot of time and resources optimizing your website and creating valuable content to attract qualified leads, but what are you doing to qualify and engage those prospects once you have their attention?

Live chat makes it possible to connect with your visitors, understand their needs and objectives, provide them the information that they need, and guide them through your site towards an action.

Celebrating Our Differences

Diversity unites and strengthens
SnapEngage team.

Diversity. It’s a word that sparks varied emotions, strong opinions and ingrained ideas, and even controversy. It’s no wonder that diversity (or lack of diversity) has a pivotal impact on the culture, fabric, and even the direction and success of a company. With this in mind – and on the heels of the SnapEngage “About Us” page revamp – the SnapEngage team decided to take a closer look at our own diversity in hopes of better understanding how our employees’ various cultures, personalities, interests, and heritages have built our quirky chat company into what it is today.

When glancing at a SnapEngage team photo, a person might assume that we are actually not very diverse at all. However, this could not be further from the truth. SnapEngage employees hail from all corners of the globe. Our team members are proud to have birthplaces including: Brazil, Germany, Greece, Belarus, Spain, France, USSR, Mexico, Ukraine, and across the United States including California, Tennessee, Montana, Indiana, Ohio, Massachusetts, and Colorado. Each team member that finds themselves in either our Boulder, Colorado or Berlin, Germany office brings with them a host of unique perspectives, shaped in part by their birthplace. This array of varied perspectives informs key decisions, fosters creativity, and spurs new ideas – driving our product forward. globe-flags

Almost every SnapEngage team member speaks two languages at minimum (and many employees speak four or five languages!). Our employees are happy to converse in Spanish, Hindi, French, Greek, Italian, German, Hebrew, Portuguese, and Russian, to name a few. In addition, SnapEngage employs more women than men (unlike many software companies). One third of our employees have spent significant time living in at least six cities in their lifetimes, and the entire company enjoys globe trotting.  Continue reading “Celebrating Our Differences”
