Guest: Bob Stolzberg, CEO & Founder of VoiceXP Topic: Wise Words from a Voice Pioneer Bob Stolzberg joins Dave to share some of the key things he's learned across the first three years that Bob has been building voice experiences. Bob's company, VoiceXP, provides a do-it-yourself platform that allows anyone to easily create voice experiences for Alexa or Google Assistant on their own - as Bob refers to it, it's the "Wix/Squarespace of Voice." One of the key learnings that Bob shares is that it's best to keep your experience simple at the onset and not try to, "boil the ocean." Launching a voice experience is only half the battle, as the other half is making people aware of the experience via legacy marketing efforts. If you build it, they won't necessarily come. The two move onto what the future holds as we enter into this new decade and Bob believes that one of the biggest breakthroughs will be the vast increases in API's that voice assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant can tap into. This will reduce the friction for users to access voice skills, which means it will be much more compelling for businesses of all types to start creating voice experiences. In addition, Bob sees "in-situation" invocations becoming a compelling hook to get businesses to buy into building voice experiences. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/futureear/message

In part two of this episode, we talked with Bob Stolzberg of VoiceXP about how Alexa Skills can both provide a service for your company as well as being a service to the community as a whole. It’s another place to make a name or a “voice” for yourself.  Some great examples that Bob elaborated on was how cities and municipalities can use it for emergency management and response systems, how the government will be using it to get out election related information to the public.  Politicians can relate direct from source information to their constituents. Even real estate agents and podcasters like myself can use these skills to push audience growth and to strengthen their network and pipeline.Bob also believes that the voice industry presents the biggest opportunities for women, minorities, and veterans.  As Bob says, “Voice is a great way to get into a technical career without any prior experience”. VoiceXP isn’t just saying that, they’re taking action and supporting women to succeed.  They go as far as partnering with the Girl Scouts, teaching them how to build a skill.

Enjoy!Bob is a rabbid voice enthusiast and enjoys helping people turn their dreams into reality. They will talk about the process of creating the gamified version of the Voice in Canada flash briefing, the marketing aspects of it, and why it would be a valuable thing for marketers to reproduce.The Marketing FunnelTeri introduced a flash briefing to a marketing funnel, which VoiceXP had never done before. What they managed to create is a voice funnel.At the top of the funnel is the Alexa in Canada community, and the Alexa in Canada brand’s social media and web presence. Then there is the next layer made up of Teri’s podcast and flash briefing.The podcast and flash briefing have subscribers (listeners) and the core purpose of the voice funnel is to help convert the listeners into a list.The Crack the Code skill also helped in converting listeners. When a subscriber listens to the Voice in Canada flash briefing and they’re engaged enough, they can go and play Crack the Code. Once they crack the code, they get to enter their phone number into the platform so that they can be texted the information that they need to go and enter the final contest to be eligible for the grand prizes.The funnel is working wonders and is receiving very positive responses.The Difficulties in Creating Crack the CodeIt was not easy coming up with and creating the skill. It took Teri about a month of daily commitment.The content in the different layers of Crack the Code is totally on point, and it’s difficult for people who aren’t marketers to write such content.The Crack the Code skill gets people engaged and it’s really well written. It has sound effects and is easy to understand. All that took time and a lot of commitment to develop.Speaking at the Voice of the Flash BriefingThis is an online conference that both Teri and Bob will be speaking at.The conference is all about teaching people about flash briefings. Some of the best flash briefings’ creators in the world will be there.It’s coming up in October 2019.List of resources mentioned in this episodeVoiceXP WebsiteVoice of the Flash BriefingOther useful resources:Voice in Canada: The Flash BriefingComplete List of Alexa CommandsAlexa-Enabled and Controlled Devices in CanadaTeri Fisher on TwitterAlexa in Canada on TwitterAlexa in Canada Facebook PageAlexa in Canada Community Group on FacebookAlexa in Canada on InstagramPlease leave a review on iTunesShopping on Amazon.ca See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this episode, Teri has a conversation with Bob Stolzberg, the Founder and CEO of VoiceXP, the most advanced Alexa skill-building tool in the world. Enjoy!Bob and Teri will talk about how the idea for the gamified flash briefing came up, how Bob got involved in the project, the great experience they had creating it, and how amazingly well it’s done so far.Teri’s Idea for Crack the CodeHe has been very obsessed with flash briefings and has been doing them for more than 500 consecutive days.He wanted to do something special to celebrate his 500th episode and thank his listeners for supporting the flash briefing. He also wanted to thank the guests he had on the Alexa in Canada podcast.He came up with the idea of creating a gamified flash briefing and the first challenge to overcome was how to create a gamified flash briefing when a user can only interact one way with flash briefings. So he came up with the idea for an Alexa skill that he could tie into the flash briefing in a way that listeners could play some type of game by being interactive with the skill based on what they hear from the flash briefing. That’s how he came up with the skill, Crack the Code.Listeners listen to the Voice in Canada flash briefing for a clue or riddle that they have to solve after which they then go to the Crack the Code skill, interact with the skill, and if they can put in the right codes, they get to win some great prizes.Bob’s Role and Experience in Creating Crack the CodeBob’s platform VoiceXP enabled the development of the skill. Their approach in designing VoiceXP was focusing on making it as simple as Craigslist.Bob wanted to help Teri build an amazing experience and he had fun creating it.Teri would come up with a new feature, pitch it to Bob and the VoiceXP team, and they would develop it and test it within a day.The skill was deployed to 5 different English speaking countries so people could go to their native Amazon.com skill stores to find it.Crack the Code had an amazing reach on social media and even went viral within the voice space.The first day it launched, someone contacted Teri about the skill not working, but when Bob looked into it, he found out that the skill had overwhelmingly heavy traffic. That was because of its global deployment, awesome sound effects, and the different voice devices people were using to access it. The problem was not with the skill, it was Amazon Alexa system wide errors.The Texting Feature Within the Skill: TeriBob and his VoiceXP team were able to implement this great feature.Teri wanted to reward listeners, reward supporters, bring in more listenership, and also figure out how to integrate a flash briefing, a podcast, website assets, and the game skill in such a way that a listener who cracks the code would be able to go Crack the Code and play the game, and then go to the Alexa in Canada website and enter the contest.Despite it being a multi-step game, it has had an overwhelming response. The website traffic has been through the roof.To make it as seamless as possible, they came up with the idea to allow people playing the game to enter their phone number and get a text directly with the link when they need it, so that they could go directly to the website. The VoiceXP platform made that all possible.
