Well, in 99% cases it is so. There are some exceptions, especially, when you have already tried a bunch of methods and none of them has worked out. You must be aware of the fact that the individual you are getting in contact with is the one, who prefers text messagingand he will positively accept your offer/suggestion via phone.
Remember that the individual you’re contacting via phone messages will have not the slightest idea of who is texting. This means you must put your first and last name at the end of the message.
- Make certain your clients are OK with business texting.
Never press the “send” button in case you are not sure whether the client is comfortable with using text messaging for business. Loads of people prefer using text messaging only to contact their friends and relatives, and they would not be pleased to receive your business offer via phone.
