Instead of following up with email marketing (which, let’s face it, has lower open rates than text messaging), use SMS sales automation instead. Give the customer a few days or a week to read the eBook, then send some helpful texts with additional links to content they might find interesting.
In the consideration stage
In this stage, your customer has requested a product demo and booked an appointment with one of your sales reps. Send an automated SMS sales automation reminder one day before the meeting – it’s a helpful gesture and also reduces the likelihood of a no-show. In the decision stage The customer is so close to buying. They’ve got the contract, but they’re stalling on signing. Send a quick text reminder, asking if there’s anything you can help with. Or, to get the customer across the line, offer a discount on the original offer if they sign and send the contract back within the next 24 hours.
