Sales and Lead Nurturing

Companies are finding that customers, especially millennials, avoid phone calls. It makes sense to engage with people how they feel most comfortable, especially when a sale is on the line. Our inbox makes it easy to host two-way texting conversations that move customers through every stage of the buyer journey, from initial inquiry to post-purchase feedback. You can even automate key moments with our drag-and-drop workflow builder.

Business leaders are also learning that leads are more likely to engage with sales teams via messaging channels versus phone calls. Business texting gives your sales team an edge over the competition by lowering the barrier to engagement, helping you communicate more efficiently.
