SMS Messaging Benefits You are Missing Out On

Effective communication is the backbone of any business. Nowhere is this statement more relevant than the visa consulting services. This is because they deal with the law, and missing any critical government deadlines means their clients suffer irreparable losses. In my long experience working to provide solutions to visa consultants, I understood their need for quick and efficient communication. This is why I decided to include SMS messaging services into the software.

The IAA regulations require that communications with any client or potential client be documented. True email is there, but the problem with email is that clients don’t always do it in a timely. This is where my SMS messaging feature truly shines. Every SMS message you send through this feature and any response you receive is documented. So any time there is a government audit, all your messages are saved to be accessed as needed.

SMS messaging has been around for nearly thirty years, and it has proven itself to be the most effective way of communicating. According to research, more than 95% of the time, SMS messages are read within fifteen minutes. So when a visa consultant needs to get in touch with their client instantly, there is no better way of getting their attention than sending them an SMS.

Manuela Marques says, “SMS has become one of the most relevant communication channels to inform”. She further likes the fact that it requires no customized engineering. Your customers can use it immediately without any complicated integrations.  Nilam Oswal likes SMS messaging because it is permission-based. So the individual you send the message to knows you and the chances of your message being ignored are next to zero. 

Another vital benefit of SMS is its wide reach. There are 4.7 billion mobile phone users on the planet today, and this is going to increase to 7.3 billion by 2033.  Every one of those individuals is available via an SMS. It requires no upgrades and is always available. Other benefits it offers include:

  • Good customer service
  • Greater brand loyalty
  • Instantaneous communication
  • File management

The use of SMS messaging is gaining momentum. It is imperative that you not miss out on what could be a very profitable instrument of communication. Get your Ezymigrate software now so you can start using the SMS messaging feature.
