Salesmsg solves this modern problem by giving companies and teams a texting solution designed to overcome declining email open rates, non-existent voicemail call backs, and consumer demand for SMS engagement.
Business texting has been around for years, but many businesses did not recognize its importance to customers or lacked the technical knowledge to implement it. To support the needs of business texting community, Salesmsg innovated texting for landline numbers, shared team SMS inboxes, integrations for popular CRMs like HubSpot and hundreds more using Zapier. In addition, Salesmsg offers a public SMS API, a Chrome browser extension, and mobile apps for iOS and Android.
“We’re grateful. We’re honored. And receiving this award is a sign Salesmsg is on the right track,” Brisson remarked. “And even with increased regulation of A2P 10 DLC by the industry’s main mobile carriers, we are ready to stay ahead of the curve and hopefully win a ‘Florida Companies to Watch 2021’ award too.”
