Here’s Why You Should Text Your Sales Leads

August 12th, 2021

Do you have a plan to connect with fast-moving online shoppers? We endorse the classics – phone and email – though we will acknowledge that they leave gaps in your availability. Missed phone calls and delayed email responses could result in lost leads.
