On June 2020, Asi found my profile on Linked In and approached me if I was interested in building my own personalized training and coaching app that I would be able to give to clients.
He introduced himself as a marketing agency that specializes in creating automated chatbots for businesses that want to increase leads and sales through automation.
We continued exchanging messages on LinkedIn with such messages, "Great thing is most of your customers can receive push notifications from you whenever you have something important you want to share to the group as well as allow people to share important info on your own private social wall."
On May 2021, He further stated that he had started putting one together for me to show me but thought he'd message me first to see if you'd have any interest in it before I went any further.
In my response, I stated that I have my developers who are building the platform and we discussed if they can include what you are offering. At the moment they have finished phase 1 and will check the added cost to include this functionality. Problems you guys you hike prices like lions that's why we fear to engage you. You have no mercy for small businesses like us who are struggling to chase the dollar from poor clients. It's a ripple effect.
In another message, if I've read your response correctly, I certainly was not trying to rip you off as that is how I had read your reply.
I had asked if you were interested in having one, if so, I would allow you to navigate through it before making any decisions, which was in your favor. And I certainly am not hiking prices as I had not even mentioned a figure at all, plus I work alone which is much cheaper than bigger companies also in your favor.
I am a small business owner myself and this is why I reach out to others on here, hopefully giving them better deals than larger companies. I would create your entire app for just $1,000 which also includes getting your app on the Andriod Play store as well as the IOS Apple store.
Not only that, I would be happy to rank you on the first page of Google as well for 5 highly sought-after keywords as well for Free, plus I'll be happy to rank you on Youtube for another 5 sought-after keywords Oh and lastly, I would be happy to create you a Free automated chatbot for your website, a way better one than the one you're using now. It will help you prospect every single visitor to your website for Free.
I trusted him and advised him to send a draft with this conversation.
On 26 May 2021, he created a rough draft of what your app would look like. He stated We can custom design this however you want.
Here are the steps you need to follow:
1) Just click the link below
2) press block
3) setup your own account
4) navigate through it https://zapable.co/var/apps/browser/index-prod.html#/60ad851823b17

Hi Esi, looks cool just like what Onpassive are creating. Can this App be integrated into my e-Learning platform on Wird Press? Will it have copyright or buy a license to use it? Can I send messages to students? Is there any third party that I need to subscribe to for it to work? How do you ensure that it is at least safe without potential breaches from scammers? Is it SEO friendly? Where will it be hosted? Thank you Esi...
Charles Vincent Kaluwasha 3:50 AM
How does it capture client and can it be integrated into an autoresponder?
- Esi Tonga sent the following message at 6:52 AM
Esi Tonga 6:52 AM
Good morning Charles, I would need to use webhooks or zapier to pass information to your WordPress page if that is possible. I'm sure I can make it work, I'd just need for you to set up your own zapier account. Yes you can easily integrate email autoresponders with zapier.
Yes you can send out your own push notifications to your students once you've paid for it to be on the app store. No, you don't need to subscribe to any third party for it to work, unless you want to integrate zapier which is about $10 per month. If you don't want zapier, The only payments you'll make will be for the actual build and the app store, which I have already included in the pricing Plus, your choice of it you want to manage it or if you need me to manage it.
It will be hosted within my agency account. You can have access for $10 a month and free access to give any updates you want and manage it yourself. Alternatively, I charge $150 per month and I will manage it for you and make all updates for you upon your requests. We have never had any breaches from spammers.
I'm not sure what you mean by SEO friendly, if your question is that you rank in SEO then no as it is an app. But is it easy to use from a customer perspective then yes. Lastly as mentioned in my previous message to you, I also get your brand noticed for 5 highly sought after Google keywords and 5 sought after YouTube keywords.
I'll also be building you a custom build chatbot that will easily integrate into your WP website, it will enable you to prospect every single visitor to your website and can also help sell your visitors on purchasing anything you have. I can also set up email responders with the chatbot as well. Hopefully this all makes sense

Good morning Charles, I hope things are well with you. When we last spoke, you mentioned you had a team that was finalizing your e-learning platform. I'd love to hear how it all worked out for you. Also when we last spoke, you mentioned you had some interest in the following;
1) a personalized chatbot for your website that prospects automatically,
2) your very own app, to communicate freely to your customers
3) 5 highly sought-after keywords on Google so that you can get more customers. I was seeing if you were still interested in having this created for you. If you were still interested, I would be happy to also build you a custom chatbot for your Facebook Business Page as well and I could add that in for free today.
I'm just following up on a few business owners that said they may have been interested and trying to finalize these builds before our prices increase. If you are, please let me know and I could have them all built out for only $1,000 as discussed previously. I look forward to hearing your response. Cheers, Esi

Hi Charles, Hoping all is well with you. We've been speaking for the last few months now and I didn't want to continue chasing you if this is not what you're wanting so I just wanted to follow up one last time to see if you still wanted to move forward in my building out your personal app, plus what was promised to you on top of that. If you're ready to get started please let me know, also please let me know if you're not interested anymore. Thanks Charles, Esi

Hi, Esi

The site is still being developed to incorporate e-learning platform. I have been advised not to add any plugins yet until they complete the platform. As of yesterday, the payment gateway was completed there are still some cliches to fix. https://cjinvestiment.com I have not given up for the app.

Hey Charles, I've decided to expand my agency as of next week therefore I won't be freelancing my services any longer. If you're still interested in getting your app plus all the services promised, I'll be able to hold onto that offer for you. If you're still interested, I'd need to start the work before the closing of business 1st of October, after that I will no longer be able to provide any further work outside of my agency.
As it is short notice to you, I can deliver this all to you for 50% off my original quote, bringing the whole service to only $1,345.50 Please let me know if you want to go ahead with this work by that date, if you're no longer interested, I appreciate your time and wish you success moving forward. I look forward to hearing from you. Cheers, Esi

Hi Asi, I have been waiting for the response from my partners in Zambia and have just received their email that they are happy with the idea. Thank you for the discount, appreciated! I, therefore, confirm you to develop the App. One thing I wanted to ask was are you able to provide the "source code" and will there be updates provided for free in the future? Regards, Charles

Hi Charles, Thank you for getting back to me. To answer your questions, I will not be able to give you the source code as it is built within an application platform so there is no source code necessary - (which you will have full access to) upon a full handover. This is how the handover will occur;
1. I will complete the app.
2. I will make any urgent changes over a 12-month period.
3. I will record videos for you of how to manage it yourself after 12 months.
4. You will be able to make all the changes yourself in the future. Are you ok with that Charles?
Esi Tonga 6:35 PM
Also if you are happy with that, I will make changes to the contract so that you can make payment before I start building your app. Kind Regards, Esi
