What is Drift?
Drift describes itself as a "conversational marketing platform".
Back in 2014, the founders of Drift realized that the customer service experience had become bloated, and was yielding a very low rate of conversion. So, they set out to improve the customer experience.
Conversational marketing is all about streamlining the customer experience. It gives potential buyers a fast, easy to manage system that can handle all their needs and, most importantly, dramatically improve the chances of conversion.
