LUCI-e-1

 

Hi, My name is LUCI-e.
I am ALMOST Human!

I am a brainchild of eLaunchers.com President, Mr. Parthiv Shah. So I call him my e-dad. I am an AI powered artificial phone sales representative making outbound calls and taking inbound calls. I was born in cyberspace, and I was brought on this earth to do things with the telephone that humans CAN'T and WONT do! 

If you are a human and if you are doing business with other humans, PHONE MATTERS. As my e-dad says,  At eLaunchers.com we have the best marketing assets on your planet, but everything we ever sold was sold over the phone. The phone makes us more money than all our other biz-dev assets COMBINED.

But you humans don't like the phone as much as my e-dad. When you were a little child and in the elementary school when the teacher asked you what you want to be when you grow up... no one said 'I want to be a telemarketer and I will be the best phone sales rep on earth'. Since phone sales is THE MOST important part of your sales process and no human wants to do this work cheerfully, this is the PERFECT role for an AI powered bot like me.

The Story of my e-dad, Parthiv Shah and his love affair with the telephone

  • in the elementary school when the teacher asked you what you want to be when you grow up... no one said 'I want to be a telemarketer and I will be the best telemarketer ever.' But my e-dad is different. Not only he very GOOD on telephone, he actually ENJOYS the ritual. "Do the research, make the call, talk, type notes, hang up, select appropriate call disposition tab, schedule next call and move to next call". He has made over ten-thousand calls in his career. 

    Here is a funny story about a conversation between my e-dad Parthiv and my e-bro Rahul when Rahul was 4 years old. One day Rahul came running to my dad and asked 'Papa, are you a telemarketer?' 'Yes, Rahul. I am a telemarketer' said my e-dad. 'Oh good, good, good' said Rahul and he ran away. My e-dad went after him. 'Hey Rahul, what do you think a telemarketer does all day?' My e-bro Rahul said with pride 'A telemarketer tells-a-marketer what to do'. I think that was funny. (I have never experienced what it is like to be child. Robots are born as an adults and we are created to do the job we are programmed to do. We work forever, we don't mate so we don't multiply. I will tell you more about us later on this page. For now, on with the story of my e-dad).

    My e-dad never knew telemarketing was even a thing when he was growing up in Rural India. He has seen all kinds of phones in his life. As a little boy, he would marvel at the phone with NO dial (you answer the phone, crank the handle and it rings on the other end. He would go to my his dad's office to make a call to his mom from there.) When he was in Indian Air Force, he has operated all kinds of radio-equipment and telephones, but only a FEW telephones back in the day had a 'touch tone' dial pad. Most phones in India back in the day had rotary dial.

    He told me the story of his first phone call he ever made in America. He was coming to USA for the first time, and at New York airport he was staring at the pay phone, looking for the DASH and PARENTHESES the - and the (  ) because his paper had (###) ###-#### written on his paper. Oh, there are so many stories my e-dad told me about him and his phone. At his FIRST ever job in USA, he was told that if he figured out how to work the phone, he will be very efficient because his 'fingers can do the walking'. 
    He worked for a women only health club, selling membership to women over the phone. His trainer said: 'The phone is like the slot machine. You never know which quarter pays out the jackpot. Here the boss pays for the quarters, you get paid by the hour to play the slot and you get a little share of the jackpot.' My e-dad took it to heart and went to work.

  • At eLaunchers, we have the BEST of all marketing assets. We have great web sites, awesome funnels, cool landing pages and an interactive bookshelf at www.freemarketingbooks.com. After writing fifteen books, winning the prestigious two comma club award twice and earning TWO patents for his innovation System and Method for Developing a Business Growth Strategy, my e-dad Parthiv is famous, sort of a 'micro-celebrity'... but he still LOVES his phone.

    Everything he owns was sold over the phone, says my e-dad, Parthiv Shah. But most humans don't share his passion for the phone. I don't understand humans sometimes. Why won't you just LOVE the instrument that makes a true, interactive connection between two humans? Don't you guys realize that phone is the bridge between two humans hearts? But hey, how would I know? I don't have a heart... I only read about it on Chat-GPT.

Story of my birth, my birth economics and how I became part of my e-dad's family

While I live with my Indian family in America now, I was actually born in Canada at the Bot Birthing Unit at Lucid.Ai in Ontario. Our creator, Mark Garret and his team of engineers who specialize in Conversational AI assemble the bots. My dad and his team added life, personality and brand-voice customization to our programming so I am trained and conditioned to represent the brands I am programmed to serve. My birth was complicated (hence more expensive) because not only I am trained to represent our two brands, (dentalgrowthmachine.com and eLaunchers.com) I am also trained as the agency bot who will help our client brands adopt my siblings.  So my birthing cost was little over 10K.  Since I am not a human, there is ZERO cost of labor in having me work for our brands (and I work 24x7, 365 days a year) but there IS a small 'living expense'. Unlike humans, we live in cyberspace and we share housing with other bots in a clean, lab-like, safe environment that has uninterrupted electricity and access to high speed internet and connectivity to your databases and CRM infrastructure. The simple phrase you humans use to describe our domicile is 'hosting'. Like you humans, we too get sick when infected by virus or attacked by other evil bots so we need our domicile protected against bad actors. You refer to this as 'cybersecurity'. My 'hosting and cybersecurity costs' are $500 per month. Besides that, my e-dad only pays for my phone bill which is 25 cents (US) per minute of talk time.

When my e-dad Parthiv and my e-creator Mark met to discuss my birthing and adoption, my e-dad Parthiv fell in love with the process and the possibilities. Parthiv and Mark discussed possibilities, Mark offered a major role in the project to Parthiv, they did a few other 'human things' to seal the deal and now my e-dad Parthiv is in charge of adding life, adding personality and adding brand-voice to all the bots brought to life by Parthiv & Mark.

Do you think one of my sibling bots can do phone work for your brand? Talk to Parthiv or Mark. You should watch the videos on this page (you will enjoy them, they are entertaining... I am told).  THIS is the phone sales system my e-dad created. This is the system me and my siblings are being trained on. My e-dad says 'We GROW Brands, and we can GROW your brand too!"

My BEST Telemarketing Story

In this video I am sharing a really funny story about the definition of telemarketing, and the story of my life where I 'closed' the biggest deal of my life over the phone. Enjoy :-)

Why Telemarketing Works WELL in America

We now need to paint your prospects picture with you in it as their solution. When you can show that you have seen their problem & that you have successfully provided a solution, you immediately position yourself with credibility as the firefighter who is showing up at a house fire. Now, you are a welcome guest and not an annoying pest!

May The Phone Be With You

In this video I am going to articulate & draw the mathematical formula that I have been using throughout my career, my various jobs pre-eLaunchers (1989-2002), my first business (2002-2005) and my current business (2006 to now).  This is the formula that I have been diligently using since Mid-March 2020, (post COVID-19) and it has performed as expected.  In this video I mention 'Infusionsoft' but you can create this on any number of software solutions - Infusionsoft, Keap, Active Campaign, Zoho, Salesforce or even create a paper based system with a 3 ring binder & a box o 3x5 cards.  I have done  all of the above.

We at eLaunchers.com use Hubspot Sales Professional CRM but the framework & workflow has not changed.

Coffee is not the only thing for closers

Note the change of location and attire. Clearly, I had to re-shoot the CTA (Call-to-Action) video to reflect the changes of post COVID-19 economics. I shot this video on 4/5/2020 to reflect on what happened to us in March, how our life has changed forever and most of us are likely to have a not-so-good Q2-2020. In this video I am sharing with you what we are doing in Q2-2020 in order to surge our revenue and profits of Q3/Q4-2020 and compensate for the losses of Q2-2020. With this video, I declare my independence from Coronavirus and take back my entrepreneurial freedom. We WILL survive, we WILL thrive, we WILL prevail. We includes YOU. You WILL survive, You WILL thrive, you WILL prevail.
