How to Qualify Sales Leads Automatically with Text Messaging

The frustration builds while you scroll through email or social media. You may get a hint of anxiety about the meeting invite, but your appointment scheduling software is working properly.

But you can overcome both obstacles on your way to filling your sales reps’ schedules with confirmed appointments for qualified leads. Let’s find out how.

 

The key to a successful lead qualification program is to get enough buy-in from the lead to justify the time invested. The requirement of that justification scales with the particulars of your business like capacity, deal size, close rate, etc.

If there isn’t a point for you meeting with certain types of prospects (e.g. those with a budget under $5,000), gather that info with a drop-down menu on your form and keep your sales team focused on meetings that will bring in revenue.

 

2. Add Your Contacts to Sakari or Other Integrated CRMs

Step 2 isn’t complicated: Ensure the contacts’ information makes it into Sakari or whatever customer relationship management (CRM) system you are using. Many tools these days automate this step.

 

3. Schedule Appointment Confirmation Texts

There’s little stopping you from shedding the frustration of no-shows and wasted time. Combine the above with a smart SMS sales funnel to start seeing employee morale that will only be matched by your ever-raising close rate.
