Missed calls and texts happen, phone tag is often inevitable, but are you taking the right actions to close the deal after an opportunity is missed? With customer expectations and the cost of advertising on the rise, you can’t afford to let your sales calls go unanswered. Informed engagement is critical to meeting your customers where they’re at, on their preferred channel.
Informed action can be calling or texting them back promptly, effectively routing them through an IVR, and/or responding with the correct information – all important in a successful path to purchase. Customers can easily find another vendor and sellers hardly get second chances, so responding effectively at the right time to the right lead is critical.
