So for example, if you need to get a prospect on the phone or book a more in-depth conversation that requires an in-person meeting, texting can cover you.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can see how text appointment reminders work in this short tutorial video:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Text Appointment Reminders Tutorial | Texting Software for SMS Marketing\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pF-3nT9wBqc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>Automate Text Messages in Any Stage of the Sales Funnel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>SMS automation can help you save tons of time while keeping the quality and tone of your text messages. You can automate text messages in a very easy, intuitive way by using an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trumpia.com\/product\/workbench-text-message-workflow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">automated workflow builder<\/a> like Trumpia\u2019s Workbench. Workbench actually comes with pre-built workflows that have drag-and-drop functionality:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"979\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/trumpia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/text-messaging-for-sales.jpg\" alt=\"text messaging for sales\" class=\"wp-image-866\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trumpia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/text-messaging-for-sales.jpg 979w, https:\/\/trumpia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/text-messaging-for-sales-300x222.jpg 300w, https:\/\/trumpia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/text-messaging-for-sales-768x570.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 979px) 100vw, 979px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s overview one of these workflows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Text Message Workflow for New Leads<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This pre-set workflow sends an initial message using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trumpia.com\/product\/core-features\/yes-no-response\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">yes\/no functionality<\/a> to ask users if they\u2019re interested in a new product. If the answer is \u2018No\u2019, the workflow triggers a new message asking for a phone number to have a follow up call by a representative. This phone number can be stored on your database via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trumpia.com\/product\/core-features\/data-capture\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SMS data capture<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good thing about these pre-set workflows is that they\u2019re fully customizable. Workbench allows you to add, remove or edit whatever you need on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Use SMS Integration on Your Site to Follow Up Leads Messages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re already using a CRM, you can enhance its capabilities by pairing it with text messaging. That\u2019s the main purpose of any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trumpia.com\/product\/automation\/integrations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SMS integration<\/a>. So for example, if you want to know whenever a lead takes action on your website, you can set triggers to get a text notification about them.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is especially useful for you to know which representative leads booked a time with, what services they\u2019re looking for, and other information that can definitely help you refine your follow ups; and thus, your sales.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trumpia\u2019s texting software can be integrated with many major platforms like Zapier, Salesforce, Hubspot, along with more than 2,000 popular applications like Shopify, Patreon, and many more.
