Text blast marketing

Rachel Conklin
Posted

How do you pros feel about marketing by mass texts? Pros? Cons? What's the best program/app/phone line do you like best? I'm looking for something easy to use that will double as my work line and that isn't crazy expensive. TIA!

That is funny, Greg. I once got a call from a sales person, and said the the owner died, but that I could talk to him psychically. Eventually, I felt stupid and hung up.

I get about a dozen of these each week for properties I haven't owned in years.

I always text them back and tell them I am interested in selling.  I ask them to call me back but only use the same phone number because I get so many calls I won't answer unless it is from that phone.  Then I block that number. 

If they stop wasting my time, I'll stop wasting their money.

    Batchleads is decent 

    Invelo is decent so far… not sure they have texting yet 


    text blasts are better if humanized

    Hey Nate! I'm glad to hear that you are giving Invelo a try and I would like to make sure you find great success with the tool. Please feel free to ask any questions!

    Invelo is currently working on a direct API connection with CallRail and CallTools to allow for tele-communication. This integration will be available in 2023 and we will announce it's release when we get a bit closer to project completion.
