In a recent episode of the Most Awesome Founder Podcast, I sat down with Marco Dassisti , the co-founder of Qualimero.com , to discuss the future of lead generation. Marco shared his insights on how AI-powered chatbots are transforming the way businesses convert leads into customers.
The Power of WhatsApp for Lead Conversion
One of the key takeaways from this podcast episode is the power of WhatsApp for lead conversion. As Marco points out, WhatsApp is a convenient and personal way for businesses to communicate with potential customers. It allows businesses to answer questions and address concerns in real time, which can help to build trust and convert leads into customers.
The Limitations of Human-Powered Lead Conversion
While WhatsApp proved to be an effective tool for Marco's previous startup KitchX, Marco also identified a major limitation: the reliance on human interaction. KitchX required a team of sales representatives to engage with leads on WhatsApp, which was costly and time-consuming. This scalability issue is a common challenge for businesses that rely on human-powered lead conversion.

The benefits of AI-powered chatbots go beyond cost and scalability. As Marco highlights, chatbots can provide 24/7 customer support, which can improve customer satisfaction and lead to more conversions. Additionally, chatbots can capture valuable data about leads, which can be used to personalize the sales process and improve conversion rates.
The Future of Lead Generation
This podcast episode leaves listeners with a clear message: AI-powered chatbots are the future of lead generation. With their ability to automate tasks, provide 24/7 support, and personalize the customer experience, chatbots offer a powerful solution for businesses looking to improve their lead conversion rates and grow their sales.
This is just the beginning of the AI-powered lead generation revolution. As AI technology continues to evolve, we can expect to see even more sophisticated chatbots that can engage with customers in even more natural and personalized ways.
