You’ve done it. You invested in a powerhouse CDP.

It’s smart. It’s reliable. It’s a master of data-driven romance, capable of nurturing a lead into a long-term, committed customer relationship. It sends thoughtful, personalised emails. It remembers birthdays. It’s the kind of platform you could take home to meet your CEO.

There’s just one problem.

It’s painfully shy.

Your magnificent marketing automation platform can’t break the ice. It stands by the digital punchbowl on your website, waiting for someone—anyone—to make the first move. It has no opening line.

And in that silence, you’re losing people.

The eCommerce Equivalent of Being Left on Read

You know the story. It’s the digital ghosting we’ve all come to accept as normal.

A visitor lands on your site. Their eyes light up. They browse a category, maybe even add something to their cart. You can feel the spark! This could be the one!

And then … poof.

They vanish into the anonymous traffic ether. Another ghost in your analytics machine. A fleeting summer fling that never even got a first name.

This isn’t a strategy; it’s heartbreak on a spreadsheet. You’re left wondering what went wrong, while your potential customer has already forgotten your name.

It’s time to stop waiting for them to talk first. It’s time to hire a wingman.

Enter The Wingman: When Your Website Learns To Talk

Think of your website as a giant party. You’ve got the music, the decor, the great products … but the conversations are falling flat.

This is where conversational marketing comes in.

It’s not another annoying pop-up. It’s a dialogue. It’s your charismatic, funny-as-hell wingman who isn’t afraid to walk up to every guest and start a conversation.

Your Visitors: The Fascinating Guests You Want To Meet

The Wingman (a tool like Leadoo): Struts up and says, "Hey, great shoes. What brings you here?" It finds out what people need, what they’re worried about, and—crucially—gets their number.

You (with SALESmanago): Are no longer waiting awkwardly. The moment your wingman gives you the signal (the lead and the data), you can swoop in with the perfect, personalised follow-up.

No more missed connections. Here’s how your new wingman makes you look like a rockstar.

The ‘Was It Something I Said?’ Cart Abandonment

The Old Way: A visitor ghosts their shopping cart. An hour later, your automation sends a nice but slightly desperate, "Did you forget something?" email.

The Wingman Move: As the visitor’s cursor heads for the exit, your on-site wingman slides in with a quick, "Hey, everything cool? Was it the price? The shipping costs make you sweat?" It gets to the real reason for the hesitation, right there and then.

Your Power-up: The wingman tags that contact in SALESmanago with the exact reason for their cold feet. Your follow-up workflow is no longer just nice; it’s practically psychic. It’s the difference between a generic "U up?" text and a message that says, "I know you were worried about shipping, so I wanted to let you know it's on us." One is creepy. The other is a conversion.

The ‘Smiling Awkwardly’ First Date

The Old Way: A new person arrives at the party (your site). You know nothing about them. Your website just stands there, a wallflower with a fixed, slightly eerie smile.

The Wingman Move: Your wingman launches a fun, flirty quiz. "Trying to find your perfect summer vibe? Let's play!" It’s a disarmingly fun way to get to know them.

Your Power-up: Those quiz answers—pure, beautiful zero-party data—are piped directly into SALESmanago. Your welcome email transforms from a generic handshake into a personalised love letter that says, "Since you're all about beach days, you have to see these sandals." You go from stranger to soulmate in a single click.

The ‘Don’t You Know Who I Am?!’ VIP Treatment

The Old Way: A loyal customer—someone you’ve had a great history with—returns to your site. Your website gives them a blank stare. It doesn't recognise them. Ouch. Talk about killing the mood.

The Wingman Move: Your wingman spots them instantly. "Hey Sarah, welcome back! We know you loved those running shoes—you’ve gotta see the new performance jackets that just dropped to match."

Your Power-up: This single on-site interaction is a bat signal to SALESmanago. It can trigger a workflow for your most engaged returning VIPs, proving this isn't just a fling. It’s the grand romantic gesture that says, "We see you. We value you. And we know what you like."

So, are you ready to stop the heartbreak?

It’s time to give your powerhouse platform the charismatic partner it deserves.
It's time to let your website talk.

To hell with awkward silence.
