Your phone dings to tell you a text has arrived. On an average day, how long does it take for you to look at it? For 90% of us, it is less than three minutes. Compare that to the fact that we open only 23% of our emails during the first hour of delivery. After 24 hours, the chances of opening an email drop below 1%. 

Today’s buyers - like today’s sellers - almost always have their phone nearby. As a modern salesperson, it just makes sense to embrace a text-friendly conversational sales approach. 

Companies spend billions of dollars every year on lead generation. However, despite the value businesses place on generating leads, only about half are actually responding to those leads. And even fewer are responding quickly. This is a mistake. Speed to lead can vastly improve your ability to connect with and convert leads to customers.

If you’re struggling to follow-up with leads quickly, a rapid lead response strategy might be right for you.

Your marketing team works hard to attract prospects from various digital channels (such as search engines, social media, and ads) and drive them to your website to see what you have to offer. Your web developer also works hard to optimize your website so that visitors are intrigued about your product and fill out a form for more information.  Then, it's your sales team's turn. Are they ready? 

Lead generation is a fundamental part of business success. And successful lead generation is all about being able to convert those leads to customers.

Lead-to-call automation is one of the most important technologies in modern conversational sales. In the simplest terms, lead to call and lead-to-text automation is a process whereby a call is instantly and automatically made to leads as soon as they submit an inquiry.   a relatively new approach that blends tried-and-true relationship-building techniques with technology to streamline the sales process.

Are qualified leads visiting your website but leaving without connecting with your sales team? Are they watching your videos, reading your product information, and maybe visiting your social media channels, but not engaging through your chat function or sending a contact form? Are you struggling to convert from a digital interaction to a personal connection?  They’re interested in your offering, but what’s the missing element that will encourage your leads to engage?

Your business relies on the success of your sales team. They're out there hustling every day to win those sales. But most sales require multiple calls and messages before the close.

Your team is probably already tracking those outbound follow-up calls. But what about those unexpected incoming sales calls? Who handles those? How are they converting? Today’s top-performing sales teams need a process for tracking key metrics related to both outbound and inbound calls.

According to Forbes magazine, companies that generate leads on the internet are wasting nearly 71% of them. Companies work hard to boost close ratios and to generate fresh leads but they overlook the most important aspect, which is taking advantage of the leads they already have. What is the biggest challenge that today’s companies face? Ironically, it’s possibly the simplest to address, they don’t respond quick enough to leads.

If you’re in sales, you already know that you’re about as likely to reach someone’s voicemail as to connect over the phone.
