Streamline Communication with 2-Way SMS

What is 2-way Texting?

Two-way texting (or 2-way SMS) is the exchange of text messages between two parties, like a business representative texting back and forth with a lead.

Why Businesses Should Use 2-way SMS?

Attention plus easy communication makes for happier–and more supportive–customers. 2-way sms messaging opens the door for more revenue-driving opportunities, including:

  • Re-engaging lost leads
  • Driving more reviews
  • Offering targeted upgrades
  • Automating lead qualification
