Intro to Season 3 and Group Coaching Online | Livestreaming and Social Media Connections
Agile Digital Business
Pete DeLisle and John Lee Dumas are scheduled interviews for upcoming episodes of Agile Digital Business, Season 3. I'm making a pivot with the show in this season to address concepts and tools that will help you make adjustments - on behalf of your customers and clients - to meet them in their point of need, and to further develop your livestreaming delivery of content during, and after, the COVID-19 pandemic.
info_outlineYou may have heard of voice search, or use of voice-activated assistants such as Alexa which is the assistant for the Amazon Echo smart speaker. There is also the Google Home Assistant or Microsoft’s Cortana, Apple’s Siri, and other others.
You may have also heard the older phrase of "voice attendants." As people gravitate towards voice for search, it has brought about a marketing niche that is often referred to as voice search marketing.
Voice has been referred to as the next big thing. The data is showing that it IS the big thing we need to be preparing for in business and marketing of our products and services.
