SUMMARY
- OpenFi, a conversational AI platform for lead generation and customer nurture, secures €585k in pre-seed funding.
- OpenFi's SalesTalkAI creates human discussions over email, social media, and WhatsApp.
Merely 3% of leads resulting from performance marketing in today's very competitive market go on to become customers, so squandering precious marketing funds and alienating prospective clients. On the other hand, companies using messaging solutions to interact with customers reported a 34-fold boost in ROI and a 58% increase in leads. Furthermore, when companies address their issues promptly, their customer retention rate increases by 2.4 times.
This puts many companies in a difficult situation: while more attentive customer service teams may boost revenue, maintaining round-the-clock customer support representatives would be unaffordable. For this reason, OpenFi is leveraging AI to transform and empower consumer relationships.
