This time Drift is launching a new book (not a new feature) called "This Won't Scale." The book shows you how their marketing team has used unscalable tactics to drive results and become one of the most well-known marketing teams in SaaS.
Hi, the link is not working. It leads to a 404 page, a very nice one btw.
please fix the link :)

sorry George! Product Hunt went live before the page did, my fault. Here you go:
Cool :) So it's a physical book? How long until I can expect it?
Maker
Hey Davis, the book will be available next month. Physical, real book :)
Maker
Order it today and you'll get yours next month.
So you are printing and shipping all these books for free? Almost seems to good to be true! Thanks :)
I love that you give away your book for free but to be honest: In times where all people talk about protecting our planet and nature do you really want to print so much books and send them around the globe? ;-(
Drift is a great product. Looking forward to the new book from Drift.

Thanks, Keyul!

Thank you Evan, did you request a copy?
I had a pretty bad experience on your chatbot, FYI. It asked for my physical mailing address. I typed “1 mystreet road” Hit return to go onto next line but the chatbot submitted and was like “great, now what’s your email address” So I then put in the rest of my mailing address (on one line this time) and hit return and chatbot says “sorry I didn’t get that email address, try again” It wasn’t great at all. I don’t know if you have my information. I like the sound of the book though.

Mick, sorry about that! That's not a great experience. I will double check to make sure we have the right information for you.
thanks. I think the problem is that you're asking for a mailing address but the chat interface doesn't intuitively let you take a new line.
realize I'm dredging up an old thread, but I have had a similar experience as . I have never typed my full address, street and city/state on one line, and after I typed in my street address, the bot asked if it was correct. However, before I saw that response I had already typed my city/state/zip and hit enter, it replied, great thanks! So as far as I know, you only have my street address.
Call me awkward but I always say good bye to chatbots ;) However Driftbot stayed silent as a stone. ;) See screenshot below. I think this might be a missed opportunity to showcase your product in it's best context. Especially if somebody likes to chat with bots after "official business" is done ;)

thanks for the feedback!
will you ship it all the way to India?!
Just reserved mine, looking forward to it. Thanks for sharing your learnings with the community.
Thanks, Drift! I look forward to receiving my copy!

Planning on having the whole team read it via the PDF.

Pros:

Lots of scrappy suggestions that can be quickly implemented by any startup or company.

Cons:

Backordered until July!
