Tip of the Week: Create Better Website Engagement

Is there a disconnect between where your customer is and your “Apply Now” button?
Not every visitor is ready to commit. Some may need more information, have questions, or simply aren't ready to take that step.

To convert more leads, diversify your website, landing pages, and marketing emails. Offer multiple ways to engage—because “Apply Now” isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution.

Tip of the Week: Create Better Website Engagement

No matter what you're asking AI to do, don’t rely on just one tool.
Different platforms have different strengths — and sometimes, different answers.

• Reduce errors and hallucinations by asking the same question across multiple AI tools.
• Cross-check the answers to find the most accurate, well-rounded information.
• Discover your favorite tool by comparing their performance on real tasks.

The more you explore, the better your results will be.

Tip of the Week: Use Multiple AI Tools for Better Results

If you want great results from ChatGPT, start by being crystal clear about your goal.

Keep in mind AI tools are getting better but not perfect, so always fact-check important details. And finally, give it plenty of context so it has everything it needs to create the best possible version of what you’re after.
