The Ideal Format of a Follow up Text Message for Sales
The ideal format of a follow up text message for sales should be:
✓ Concise.
✓ Personalized.
✓ Polite and respectful.
It should begin with an appropriate greeting. Adding the subscriber’s name gives it a personal touch that can be very appealing. These follow up messages should serve as an SMS reminder of an initial or previous interaction that serves as a memory refresher for the customer and as a way to close the conversion for you.
A sales follow up text should also express a genuine interest in what the subscriber needs and make it clear that the purpose of the follow up is to help him or her find value. A Call-to-Action should also be included in a clear, straightforward format. This CTA should also be clear in providing a way for the customer to continue the conversion; whether it is a link, a phone call, or any other.
