New prospects for your business can take up a lot of time. There often aren’t enough hours in a day to personally oversee a high volume of new leads, nurture them into a purchase and do it profitably. For this reason, many businesses take on automation software such as Hubspot, Pardot or Dotmailer.
Zapier can integrate with Esendex’s SMS platform and make it easy for automation tools to use a combination of SMS and email to ensure that their leads are nurtured into customers and complement a low-touch sales method.
Some example templates:
Texting via your CRM
Similarly some CRMs such Hubspot CRM, Salesforce and Zoho offer opportunities to map mobile number fields to opportunities, leads or even contacts to send a text message to said contact or customer whenever a specific trigger such as purchase, sign-up or download has been made.
Just ensure that the mobile numbers within your CRMs or automation systems are formatted correctly for Echo.

Are your key updates to stakeholders and customers getting lost among the noise of email? From updates when support tickets progress through critical milestones, to alerts when new tasks have been assigned – keeping stakeholders informed, at key points in the journey of a ticket or task, can ensure smooth delivery of customer service and experience. This give the customer more efficient service and can provide peace of mind to sales or account management teams to ensure they can spend their time winning more business.
