CATERING TO YOUR CLIENTS VIA TEXT

When clients need your help, they want to be able to reach you quickly. They don’t want to waste hours on hold, play phone tag with your company or keep track of long email chains. Transform your client service by communicating with your clients
the way they want to communicate instead.

YOUR CLIENTS WANT TO TEXT YOU

Your clients are going to text you with questions whether you are prepared to handle it or not. If you’re not texting, you’re not offering clients a way to get answers quickly and conveniently. Using texting makes your business more efficient.

DON'T STRESS OVER PERSONAL NUMBERS

Managing client messages on your personal number is difficult. Without assistance, you can quickly become overwhelmed by clients texting with questions. With Captivated, you can forward conversations to other employees to help and leave important notes on clients so nothing is ever overlooked. Empower your entire team to tackle client communications all on one platform. You’ll also avoid the need to carbon copy people to death on personal texts to stay connected. You’re taking potential obstacles out of our personal phone and making conversations move faster instead. Plus, you don’t have to worry that when employees leave your business they’ll take client contacts with them.

I use to wake up every morning and send a confirmation text to every client for the day. There are two features for me that stick out, one of which is the ability to schedule texts, which solves the problem I just mentioned and the other is being able to close a conversation# I compare that to closing the loop in business. We are a highly transactional company# we service 50-75 events and orders a day and a good portion of that, about 75% of that comes in through text messages.§
