You may be thinking, “Business-class text messaging? It’s just texting from your cell phone, but you use it for your professional contacts, right?”

Not exactly.

Business-class text messaging is more than texting for business. It’s even more than using a professional text messaging platform (although that’s a big part of it).

In some industries, technology adoption may still be optional. But for sales and recruiting, it’s an absolute imperative. The average American now owns four digital devices and spends 60 hours per week consuming content on those devices. That’s more than a full-time job.

In this new tech-driven world, companies need equally tech-driven sales and recruiting processes. Consider these statistics:

More and more customers today are text messaging businesses just like they text their friends and family. From simple questions and requests to making appointments. If your clients are texting you but you're not responding, you could be missing out on valuable conversations and customers!

Being stood up not only means your time was wasted, but it also means money wasn't made. No matter what professional environment you're working in, it's not easy to guarantee your clients will make their appointment.
