I've been pretending my ManyChat is set up for about two years now.
Here's my actual system: someone comments the keyword, I see it, and then I manually DM them the next day like it's 2016. So when Angelica Pompy came on the show and dropped a plot twist about ManyChat in the first ninety seconds, I was already leaning in.
Angelica generates about 65% of her revenue from Instagram. She's not anti-automation. She just knows exactly where it belongs and where it quietly costs you money. She sold a $3,400 VIP day in the DMs with no sales call, no funnel, no link. Just a video message and a few voice notes back and forth. And the story she tells about the event she wanted to attend but never bought a ticket for, because the host never followed up, is the most useful thing I've heard all month about why your launches underperform.
We're all so busy automating the top of the funnel that we've automated away the part where someone actually decides to buy.
What you'll learn:
- The exact moment ManyChat stops helping and starts costing you sales
- Why a $3,400 offer can close faster in the DMs than through a full email sequence
- The follow-up gap that makes you think nobody's interested when they actually were
- How Angelica labels and tracks leads in Instagram, and why that system breaks after 30 days
- Her three-post rotation and why she never sells in every post
- What "success" on social actually looks like when a viral post isn't the goal

Remember, we're human, and I think people have lost sight of what social media is meant to be. It's meant to connect people. It's meant to build relationships. It's meant for you to engage with their content.
[00:00:51] It's like, obviously, we're using it for our business to, you know, generate leads and get bookings and things like that. But it's like, at the end of the day, the revenue is coming from the relationships. Welcome to the next evolution of the podcast, Entrepreneur School in the AI era. We are here to figure out how to integrate AI into the business you've worked so hard to build in a way that still feels like you.
[00:01:17] I'm your host, Kelly Sinclair, award-winning marketer turned AI platform co-founder. AI has fundamentally changed how I thought about work, systems, and what's actually possible. This show is about navigating that new reality together. It's going to be a wild ride, my friend, but I truly believe there's a way to leverage AI in a way that's intentional, human-centered, and aligned.
[00:01:42] It's an ongoing evolution, so let's explore, because AI may just be the unlock you need to achieve the life-first business you truly desire. Hello, hello, and welcome back to Entrepreneur School in the AI era. I have, like, been on a roll with incredible guests on the show, and today is going to be no different. I'm so excited to introduce you to and to get to chat with Angelica Pompey.
[00:02:11] She is a business coach, a speaker, and a marketing strategist who helps women build profitable businesses with more clarity, confidence, and visibility, and I am here for it. And also, P.S., totally obsessed with her profile picture on Instagram. It's all hot pink, so, like, immediately, we were our best friends. Angelica, welcome to the show. Hi! Thank you so much for having me. I am obsessed with your topic of AI, especially with today's day and age.
[00:02:39] I was like, that's what the world is, like, revolving around, and I'm like, I can't stay behind, you know? And so, learning from you and people that are experts in this field is like, I feel like I'm a student again, which is very nice to just learn. And so, yeah, I'm excited to talk about how I use AI as a non-techie. Oh, I love it. I love it. Definitely. I identify as an accidental techie.
[00:03:06] I low-key feel like everything we could always talk about all day is just AI. Like, is there even anything else to talk about anymore? The real question, right? But we have conversations on this podcast to frame it up in terms of different ways different people are using it and how they're not.
[00:03:25] And I know that you have, like, a major plot twist to drop on us right off the bat with respect to Instagram, AI, a.k.a. ManyChat. Yes, yes. Oh, my gosh. Minichat is an amazing tool. And as somebody that generates a lot of leads and clients from Instagram, I've learned that there's a time and place for Minichat and what works best. And so, yeah, I'm excited to dive a little deeper into that.
[00:03:55] Yeah. So, what's the T, like, right off the bat around Minichat? Do you use this? I feel like I said to you when we messaged each other on Instagram before this, I was like, oh, yeah, the thing that I pretend I have set up that I totally don't. And then when people actually use that keyword comment, I'm, like, manually sending them a DM, like, the next day. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. It's so funny.
[00:04:21] So, what I will tell you is Minichat is not a call to action that you should lean on every single time on your Instagram post, specifically when it's money generating activity. So, I find that Minichat is a great tool to send out a freebie. Sometimes when we have, like, a viral video and you get a whole bunch of opt-ins, that's a great way to get people into your world.
[00:04:47] But when you're selling something that's more high ticket or that you want to make things more so personable, Minichat is not the place to do that. I actually just hosted an event in New York City. I live in Florida. And so, I wanted to make it a point to connect with those that were interested to come to my event. And I still told them to comment the word coffee, but I didn't set up an automation for that. I actually sent them a video message saying, hey, oh, my gosh, I would love to have you at my event. Tell me more about your business.
[00:05:17] I didn't even, like, I know they were interested in the event. Could I send them, you know, automation? Here's a link to buy a ticket to my networking event. Sure. But that personal connection, and I think with AI, a lot of the personal connections have been lost in the sauce, unfortunately. And, like, that's a great way to make it more personable. Okay. Actually, like, let's break this down so much.
[00:05:40] Because as you're saying that, I'm thinking not just Instagram responses being automated, but just the whole concept of being able to make high ticket sales without that extra layer of personal outreach.
[00:05:57] So, right, like, I'm applying this to, if I set up an email sequence that goes out, and then I'm shocked that nobody bought the thing because I had this whole email sequence, like, there must be something there in terms of your strategy around personalized outreach and sales. So, tell me more. Yes. And I love that you use the example of email marketing in a funnel. What I've learned to do, too, in that sense is I add a video of, like, hey, I want to send you a quick video.
[00:06:27] And it's prerecorded, but it's really speaking directly to that ideal client of, like, if you are needing support and looking for community in marketing your business, I have a solution for you. Let me show you behind the scenes of what it's like to be in my community. And sometimes when people see a face, they're like, oh, she's human. You know, we're so used to reading so much online and, like, having that visual aspect of, like, okay, where people buy from people at the end of the day.
[00:06:53] And so, that one video, I find that that's where most people are, like, buying into. And, like, to your point of selling high ticket sales, I literally just sold in the DMs last night a VIP day of $3,400. No sales call, just I prompted with a video. And then I just sent voice message back and forth. Because, again, who has time to read, like, seven paragraphs? I don't. But it was quick. And we were able to figure out if it was a good fit for her. And she was like, no brainer. Sign me up.
[00:07:23] I love it. It's like breaking the patterns. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. So, like, okay, tell me how you learned this lesson. I'm sure there's, like, the many failures of that. Yes. Yes. Well, I think it came from a personal experience first. I was super interested in this upcoming event in my area. And I, you know, commented the word. And I saw all the marketing leading up to it. And I was like, let me just inquire and see.
[00:07:52] And when I clicked on it, I was like, oh, it was just so much to read. And I was in a – as a busy entrepreneur, I think for those entrepreneurs that are busy, like, in the day-to-day, still serving their clients, I was just like – I had a quick 10-minute window. I'm like, do I spend 10 minutes trying to read the sales page? Or can I get, like, an audio version of this somewhere, figure out if this is the right fit? It was such a long sales page. I was like, okay, I need to come back to this.
[00:08:19] And I was like – later that night, I was like, oh, God. I was in the DMs all day with people. And I was like, what was the name of the event? Who was that person? And had I gotten, like, a personalized message from her, I wouldn't have forgotten her name, probably, because she probably would have introduced herself. And I literally – I didn't attend the event because I couldn't find it again. And we already know the algorithm gods have a mind of their own. So I was like, hopefully I stumble upon the content again. But I was very interested. And I didn't get a follow-up.
[00:08:49] And I'm like, I teach this to my students. The funds are in the follow-up. So you can set up that automation to follow-up and just be a message versus, like, sending the link again. And had she set up, you know, her mini chat for that follow-up, that would have been more personal conversation. She could have said, like, hey, we're – you know, what are you looking for in events? And I would love to see if mine is a good fit. Like, that simple follow-up for her would have got my sale. And so there's, like, a time and a place to do that. But I always tell people, like, I sometimes use mini chat as a conversation starter.
[00:09:19] When I'm, like, putting the word, if you're interested in a VIP day, comment VIP. The automation to that is, hey, tell me, what is the current project that you have working on in your business? That's the automation. I take the conversation from there. And sometimes I'll respond back with a voice message or a video from there. Mm-hmm. Because you're basically just, like, creating the structure so that it's giving you that flag. Mm-hmm. So that you can actually, like, find it in an organized fashion.
[00:09:48] I feel like sometimes that's where we lose track of things, right? Just, oh, I put all this stuff out there. But, like, where is it? How do I reconcile it all at the end of the day? Especially if you do start having conversations and whatnot. So I love that. And something that I love to do, this is kind of a new feature to Instagram. If you go to your DMs and you hold down on a message, you can label people as a lead or you can flag them or mark them as ordered.
[00:10:18] If I'm having, like, a warm conversation with somebody that's genuinely interested in what I have coming up or offer, I label them as a lead. And then I just shuffle through the leads, like, once a month to make sure I'm engaging, following up on them, to make sure if they had questions, to make sure that I'm able to serve them. Because I love to tell people I'm never selling, I'm serving. My offers is meant to help somebody and give them a solution. And keeping track of that sometimes, like you said, can be a little chaotic.
[00:10:44] And I find that just labeling them as leads and the DMs has been an easy, like, way to follow up. How long do you spend on Instagram every day? Oh, that's a good one. I would say about an hour or two, for sure. Intentionally, like, commenting, replying, looking back. And most recently, I was like, I usually try to spend the first half of my day, like the first hour, and then the second hour kind of following up because, you know, we're busy.
[00:11:10] We're on Zoom calls, meetings, serving our clients, doing client work. So, yeah, about two hours. Yeah. Thanks for the transparency on that because this is like, this is the thing you can do, but you also still have to do it. Just like anything. There's no magic button. It's like, pick a strategy and lean into it. I think that's what's so great and also frustrating at the same time about running a business is everything works and everything doesn't work.
[00:11:40] So, you really have to be intentional and follow through and choose your strategy and lean into it and let that continue. I also really love what you said about your own example of, I was interested. I actually wanted to buy a ticket to that event potentially, but I didn't have time to look into it fully. And that's, I think, where we, like, forget.
[00:12:06] And we get up all in our heads as the people hosting and selling things. Nobody was interested. Nobody, like, bought or whatever. And it could have been for any of those reasons and you would just actually not know if you don't start that conversation intentionally. Yeah, absolutely. And, like, again, you can use the mini chat to circle back if you had it initially set up. But always have something. Follow up with them. Label them as a lead. That follow up is key.
[00:12:36] And, you know, as a buyer of products, you know, life gets, whether you have kids running around, you know, pet here, husband there. It's like we get distracted. And sometimes that one ping can, like, get you to generate the sales that you want in your business. And the other thing is that you reminded me about is just video messages. Like, I feel like I remember, well, first of all, you sent me one as soon as we booked a podcast together.
[00:13:05] And I was like, oh, yay, I haven't seen one of these for a hot minute. And I remember a huge win I had a long time ago in my business where I wanted somebody who was kind of, like, medium celebrity-ish status. Pretty big person who I wanted to speak on an event I was hosting. So I had already obviously been engaging and following her stuff for a while. So it wasn't just cold.
[00:13:33] But I did do a video message to her and asked her to speak on my summit. And she said yes right away where she normally would never. And then she even, like, did a whole story thing on the fact that I reached out with a video message. And she said something about, like, I think she said I had lady balls or something for doing that. And I'm like, yeah, because it's so true. It's such a reminder that, and I just got off a podcast interview with somebody else.
[00:14:02] Or we just talked about, like, the personal touch. And I feel like in this age of AI, the personal stuff has way more weight than it even ever did. What would you say about that? A hundred and ten percent. I think with because it is so accessible and people lean into it for, like, any scenario. It's like, hold on. Remember, we're human. And I think people have lost sight of what social media is meant to be. It's meant to connect people. It's meant to build relationships.
[00:14:32] It's meant for you to engage with their content. It's like, obviously, we're using it for our business to, you know, generate leads and get bookings and things like that. But it's like, at the end of the day, the revenue is coming from the relationships. And that's what we will forget. Like, we're people behind this. This is the livelihood of our families. And, like, it's that personal touch. Like you said, it can make or break. Like, you're generating your dream sales. Yeah.
[00:15:00] I think that we can get so hung up in the idea of things being automated and, like, make money while you sleep and set up these AI automations and many chat and even email sequences and whatever. And at the end of the day, you're not making those connections when you do that. Yeah, absolutely.
[00:15:22] I was talking to a group earlier this week and they were like, how many of you are when you follow somebody, you get an automatic DM that's like, hey, welcome to my world. What kind of resources do you want? And it was interesting to hear, like, depending on who your ideal client is, maybe that might piss them off. But other people were like, oh, she's serving me off the bat. And I was actually looking into it myself. And I wanted to try that strategy. But I realized that in many chat, you can't add, like, a photo.
[00:15:52] So if I could add a photo or a GIF of me, like, hey, let me give you some resources. I feel like that personal touch will really get people to engage. So I'm like, I'm not going to test the new followers, send a DM strategy just yet. But I would love to see if that feature ever comes out. I would love to try to incorporate that then. When you send, so I don't use many chat at all. I tried it a couple times. So it's probably changed entirely since I've ever been inside of their system.
[00:16:21] But when you send something, how do you get some kind of notification that you send something? Like, is there a place that, like, you can just go look at the things you sent? And then maybe if you did the automatic follow thing, then you can be like, oh, cool. I'll go in and I'll send a video now or a GIF or whatever. Great question. So right now, many chat shows you how many people are clicking and the click through rate. And you can set some automation based if they click it or not.
[00:16:49] As far as like notifications on your site and your DMs, you do see it only when they respond. So like you don't see it going out. And so the way many there's like no sent folder. No, you just have to scroll through. Yeah, you just have to scroll through your DMs and see what was sent. However, the way many chat has it set up now is like before you can just send a link directly. You say, hey, I want to send you the information that you requested. Click send now or you can change whatever you want it to say.
[00:17:20] When they click that, it sends like as if they sent you a DM. Like it sends it like send me the link. And then the automation will kick again to send them the link. So I think that's a great barrier that they've added to make sure that the dialogue is just not one way. Here's the link. It's like, hey, send me the link. They respond with that and then you send them the link. And that's where that follow up can come into play after that. And that's why I'm like when they respond back, then I see it's like an unread message. I'm like, OK, let me go respond. And like where did this person come from?
[00:17:49] So for your business, like as far as revenue generation, how much of that is coming from Instagram conversations, do you think? Oh, yeah. I would say I had to look. I think last time we looked, I would say like 65 percent of my revenue is from Instagram. And so give everybody some context on what your Instagram like has. It looks like your follower size, like how like. Yeah. Talk about. OK, yes.
[00:18:19] All things Instagram. So Instagram is the place that I hang out most. I don't have a podcast. I have a YouTube channel, but it's just like their Instagram is where I show like my day to day. I show what's working for my students, showing the transformations, sharing my receipts. I post right now on Instagram five days a week. That is something new for me. And I'm testing it to see if I'm able to generate more leads, qualified leads and followers.
[00:18:45] But something that I teach to my students is be consistent three days a week and make sure it's like meaty, meaty substance post. And so I'm pretty engaged. I usually post on stories Monday through Friday and at least once a day on the stories. And then my posts, I really lean into like three different pillars when it comes to posting. I post content that's like personal lifestyle. So people can connect with me as a human. I share by my offers and like the transformation that I sell.
[00:19:13] And then I also talk about like the receipts that I've the results that I've been able to get from my students. And so like as engaged as I am with people and when I actually go network with people, I do this thing on my phone. It's a QR code and it's a quick way for me to connect with people. It's I made it on Canva and I have them scan it and they follow me on Instagram. And then I usually follow up and say like, hey, it was so nice to meet you at X, Y and Z.
[00:19:41] And when I send that video, then I try to mention either something that we talked about or where we connected. So when I go back or we continue to have dialogue, it's like, oh, where does this person come from? I have something to reflect on. But yeah, like Instagram is where I hang out and I try to make things. I've also found that the dialogue in the DMs is more private versus like having people to comment a word. You know, sometimes that's shameful for some people.
[00:20:08] And they're like, I don't want to admit that I'm having a marketing problem or I don't want to admit like I'm not generating sales. So I make the conversation start in stories. That's why I show up a lot on stories. It's like, hey, tap the sticker tap here if you want more information on how to make your next Instagram sale. Okay. The QR code thing, I love that. I love when events do that. It was at an event recently. It was quite a big event, but it had like a QR code and it took you to all place and all the links and everything for people were there.
[00:20:37] Or I do that sometimes, but yours is way cuter. I got to make a version that's not just a big QR code with nothing else. Yeah. Forget and like brand it better. Yeah. Yeah. And I tell people like, you know, some people have the blank or your dot card, but there's so much information on there. Have people connect with you where you show up the most. So if that's on your podcast or if that's on your email list or if that's on LinkedIn. But where can people see you active the most? That's where you want to connect with them.
[00:21:06] And do you have a system for yourself set up behind that? Or do you like just go, I'm just going to link. I'm just going into Instagram and I'm going to manage all the people inside of there. Or do you have like another database that you help track yourself with or anything like that? So we're actually in the process of building that because I have been so active in the DMs. I'm needing support now. And what does that look like?
[00:21:32] Where does my team know where to pick up where I left off or where can they do the follow up? So we're actually building a system and air table of like needs and what are they interested on? And what was the last point of conversation or last point of contact? So that way I can follow up because what I realized labeling them as a lead in Instagram goes away after 30 days. So like sometimes people need a little longer. So I'm like, oh my God, I was talking to somebody like, you know, two and a half months ago. Who was that?
[00:22:02] I can't remember. Right? Oh, girl. I'm like, oh, okay. We need to get better with the systems. And now that I'm doing more speaking engagements, I'm like, I love people and I love connecting with them. But I'm like, I don't want to make sure I don't drop the ball in my court, you know? Yeah. So yeah, we're building a system and air table, something super, super simple, like their name, what service they were interested in last time that we were contacted and where we left off in the convo. Yeah, for sure. And the platform that you're using to connect with them.
[00:22:30] Because sometimes I'm sure you still send emails and stuff too, right? Sure. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. I was like, girl, I just actually built this. This is, I call the relationships table in air table and it has all of those things like last contact, follow up needed.
[00:22:46] Anything that I can do to try and keep tasks being assigned to me without me having to find them again is definitely like it's creating that circular motion where, you know, like you do have conversations with people. And then, you know, for us, our platform, it's changed so much in the last two months. So anybody who, you know, reached out and checked it out two months ago, I have to like follow up and be like, hey, we've got all new experience ready for you now. Yeah.
[00:23:15] What do you think about this? And yeah, remembering to do that personal reach, this has just been a good reminder of that for sure. Yeah, absolutely. And I found it interesting, you know, obviously, like as technology evolves and things, I've seen people like market themselves as a sales strategist for like social media. And I'm like, interesting, like people are doing sales on your behalf in the DMs.
[00:23:38] And I'm like, hmm, like it brings curiosity to me because it's like, okay, can AI help with this? Or does like the human continue the conversation not knowing it's you? I think there's some ethical things there that I'm like, I don't know, somebody answering on my behalf. I need it to make clear. But I think it's so interesting how they evolve over time with technology for sure. Well, I think for sure we have to have clear disclosure policies around that, right?
[00:24:07] Especially like if somebody's in your account on your behalf, they have to, you have to say who that is. But the other piece is just, I don't know, this is totally personal preference. I got pitched in the DMs the other day, an invitation to be on a podcast and like immediately suspicious. Immediately like, is this real? Like the person had a blue checkmark. I was like, well, that's a good thing.
[00:24:34] And then I could see that the person that they were pitching on behalf of was following them. So I like, but I went into this whole like having to do research and being on my guard and being like, is it real? So I feel like that defeats the whole purpose of what you're saying around personal touch for sales is really what the key is. It's not about volume. It's about your personalization. Yeah, 100%.
[00:25:02] And I'm a big believer like you don't have to have like a ton of followers to make impact and generate the sales that you need to in business. Like my goal, I look at every like as one person. Like if 15 people like my content and I get three DMs, those are three different humans that want to have conversation with me. Maybe when I'm a big timer and I'm like the DMs are flowing, maybe obviously we'll have a different conversation then.
[00:25:27] But like I love how intimate my relationship is with my students and the amount of impact I'm able to make in that capacity. And so I really enjoy the conversations too. I think that's the other part is like people look at it as a burden and it's like, no, these people want to connect with you. And like you're asking for, you know, three, four or $5,000. That's not going to happen from like one link being sent. Oh, such good context. And I was going to say, can you contextualize a little further?
[00:25:54] What do you define as success when it comes to engagement online? Like are there numbers? Is it just like, how do you look at that? Yeah. So as far as success, I look at how much, how many opt-ins I got from my email. Like as far as like how many comments people want to join my email list or want a freebie. I also look at how many conversations I'm having in the DMs because of my post.
[00:26:20] I'm very strategic with my posts now more than ever because all of it's essentially like real estate, especially now that I'm in a space where I'm doing like sponsorships and things like that. But for success for me is how much engagement am I getting? Am I reaching the right people? Like my ideal clients. My goal is not to make a viral post and hit 100,000 people because those 100,000 people most likely are not my ideal clients. So I look for engagement. Like am I getting DMs? Am I having conversations?
[00:26:50] Am I getting people on my email list? Because we all know Instagram is rented real estate. We don't own it. And if it goes down like it did for a couple hours last week, I sent the email. I was like, hey guys, I'm still here. Like, you know, do we have connections with our people beyond the social media forms? I totally got that email and I was like trying to edit a video that I was going to post. I was like, I'm never even doing this. Like what the heck is happening right now?
[00:27:20] I was going to ask Kate just a couple more nitty gritty questions. Yeah. With your – Kate, because people who have been around on this podcast for a while know that like my background is marketing and brand. And I always was the flag waver for how to build visibility without relying on social media. I never like fully quit.
[00:27:45] I quit – actually, I think it was all – I took a whole summer off social one time. I don't think it was last year. I think it was the year before. But anyways, just to – if you don't like it, like you said, if you don't enjoy your – first of all, your energy is just not going to – it's going to come through that. 100%. You're posting out of some sort of obligation and it's going to be a self-fulfilling prophecy of I post three times a week. It does nothing. Why do I keep doing this? Well, because that's how you feel about it. Right?
[00:28:15] But for you, when you look at what that posting strategy looks like and the types of calls to action and whatnot that you mix in there, like how often are your – is your goal to get people to comment a word so that you can follow up either? So you have a DM conversation or so you eventually get them onto your email list as well? Like what does that look like? Oh, great question. So I don't sell in every post. I try to make one connection post.
[00:28:43] So how can people connect to me and my story? I try to do a attract post, so attracting my new client. And then I do a sales post. That's where I do that call to action with a specific word. And I think that variation is important because people don't want to feel like they're being sold to all the time. And again, we want to make sure that they're connecting with you on like a human basis of like, okay, she's posting content in carousels. She's posting reels of herself.
[00:29:09] I think the biggest pivot most people see specifically on social media is when they start showing up. Like so many of us are scared to be seen. And it's like people have to see you to understand, oh, I want to work with you. I have a sister company for my photography business. And it's a faceless business. Like we don't show who's running it. We don't show the photographers. And it is so stinking hard to sell that service versus my photography business. We're showing behind the scenes. We're showing us.
[00:29:39] We're talking to camera. We're showing us in the works of like doing shoots. And it's like completely different because they see people in action. And so, yeah, I recommend doing a piece of selling content once a week, connection content and attraction content. I love that. I'm like taking notes over here going, well, I'm making these podcasts. So here's my thought process. Making these podcasts, they're getting repurposed across every platform. Like we will have clips.
[00:30:09] They will go on Instagram. Like what is the point of just putting it on one platform? We've been sitting together for half an hour now having a wonderful conversation. So much value in here. And I want to remind people to go and listen to the full thing and to see you and hear from my guests and connect. And actually, okay, well, I was like, that's such a nice segue into the end.
[00:30:30] But I want to give you one more opportunity, Angelica, to like drop any more bombs of goodness or like a hot take on us before we leave. Oh, hot take. Your next 100K is waiting on you to show up. So make it personable and be unforgettable. Oh, that is a beautiful quote. We shall make content with that. Absolutely. Okay.
[00:30:59] So everyone's going to come follow you on Instagram now because they know they're going to get an amazingly personalized video message from you when they do. So let them know how to find you and I'll make sure all the links are in our show notes as well. Yes, absolutely. I'm Angelica Pompey everywhere.
