Insurance agents are busy. Answering phones, responding to customer inquiries via email, and converting website leads are all day-to-day activities in insurance. But the traditional ways to reach customers like phone and email are time-consuming and don't guarantee results. Critical customer phone calls often go unanswered, and perfectly drafted emails may end up in spam folders.
On the other hand, a texting solution doesn’t have these usual hang-ups. Boasting high open rates and a direct line to customers and leads, an SMS solution gets the right message to the right people. Communicate vital messages about your insurance services to customers quickly via SMS. You can use it to answer inquiries, resolve billing and payment issues, and convert leads into customers.
SMS gives you a competitive edge over the competition as it is cost-effective, time-efficient, and customer-focused. That’s why the best insurance companies are turning to a comprehensive texting insurance solution.
SMS is more effective for the insurance industry than email or phone calls. Emails often sit unopened and insurance agents are inundated with phone calls, which often means long wait times.
With a communications strategy that includes texting, your agents can enjoy faster, more responsive communication with customers and leads. Send an SMS message and enjoy a 45 percent average response rate. This is more than seven times the response rate of an email.
With texting, you can engage with your community by writing individual replies, using templated messages, or scheduling automated texts.
An SMS insurance solution streamlines client communication. That’s because texting is built for rapid communication, and has excellent response and open rates. Deliver messages directly to the homepage of clients’ smartphone devices. When clients are sent critical information to their cell phones, they're much more likely to see and engage with it. You can send updates, promote marketing deals, or automate reminders, all in real time.
Harness the power of fast, effective communication with your insurance customers. Plus, be the first to respond to leads and close more deals with texting’s rapid response time.
SMS for insurance isn't just for sales. Texting allows you to stay connected and communicate effectively with insurance customers to increase retention rates.

Customers will appreciate the reminder and doing so will help you foster strong client trust and create memorable brand moments.
