How to Use 2 Way SMS
As they say, communication is not a one-way street. This is not only true for verbal communication, but for SMS as well. Successful business communications strategies are founded on building relationships, not just a one-way conversation where a company dominates the narrative.
With that said, of you’re not truly interacting with your customers, you’re also missing some great opportunities to learn and grow.
That's why we've developed a Two Way SMS gateway that gives you a suite of tools for building and growing customer relationships and gathering business intelligence. Our MXT platform lets you customize messages to prompt YES/NO responses, let your customers complete surveys, and more.
