In today’s convenience-focused world, it doesn’t get much better than texting. Nearly everyone has a cell phone, I'll bet your smartphone is within arms reach right now. And unlike an email inbox, which is likely filled with dozens of long, unopened emails, text messages are nearly always opened and read. In fact, according to reports from Mobile Marketing Watch, emails have a mere 22% open rate whereas text messages have an off-the-charts open rate of 98%. According to another study, an astounding 90% of all text messages are read within 3 minutes of being received.

Salespersons who contact potential customers within an hour of receiving a message were nearly seven times as likely to qualify the lead as those who waited to call after an hour. The optimal lead response time is five minutes or less. 

You know it’s important to respond to leads quickly, and that lead-to-call automation can help. But the truth is, that’s just one part of your overall automated lead follow-up system.
