Group texting gives you the ability to add three or more participants to the same conversation. More specifically, Group MMS, uses the MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) protocol to exchange ordinary text messages among a group of three or more people, rather than a one-to-one interaction.
If you sell real estate, insurance, financial products or travel, chances are that many decision makers are involved in a transaction. Group text messaging allows you to add all decision makers in the same conversation. You are probably used to group text messages with many friends in the same thread. The advantages of a group texting platform is that when customers text you, anyone on your sales team can get back to them.
A group text messaging platform allows businesses to connect your sales team to add multiple decision maker in the same conversation. When a message is sent by the participants or members of the sales team, the message is received by everyone part of the conversation. This becomes a great sales tool because you can easily keep everyone informed before and during the sale.
Group texting uses the MMS protocol to send and receive messages.
99% of all group text messages are opened in less than 3 minutes. While 1:1 conversation are great, when you have the possibility to add many participants in the same conversation, you include all decision makers in the same conversation. This way, everyone feels included.
