"When they looked at the lead response data they received, and saw what was more effective at getting the lead to respond, they switched tactics to texting first and only calling as a follow-up."
Brohm is suggesting text-first mentality to get the conversation started and to gauge whether it is a good time to make a phone call.
"If you don’t already have one, find a CRM that has the ability to mass text a large group of contacts at once," said Brohm in his post.
"Seriously. Being able to send mass texts via your CRM is such a great tool, and there’s no excuse to not have that ability in 2019."
