If you're working in solar sales, you're certainly using text messages to connect with and follow up on your leads.

And you certainly realize the importance of knowing exactly when and how to text your prospects, so as to quickly and smoothly close those deals.

It is very valuable to learn to do texting right, especially when it comes to:

- Getting your prospect to willingly opt-in to receiving texts;

- Choosing the right rhythm and sequence of texts;

- Striking the right tone for each text.

There's even research showing that prospects only open 32% of their emails, but open a surprising 42% of their text messages.

A solid texting sales plan has many benefits, which can create an upward spiral that goes something like this:

1. Engage and qualify more homeowners;

2. Request electric bills;

3. Schedule solar consultations;

4. Nurture your pipeline with engaging and automated follow-ups;

5.  Close more deals;

6. Install more solar.

However, as solar consultants know all too well, having a lot of clients is always very challenging. And, if these clients aren't looked after, it can actually create a downward spiral that goes something like this:

1. You have too many leads that aren't followed up on;

2. The leads you do work on take longer to go through, so prospects get frustrated and stop responding;

3. Your reputation is damaged, and your client base gets smaller;

4. Your profit keeps dropping.

We've seen this happen often, and have thought a lot about how to prevent this.

Above all, a truly good texting sales plan needs to be scalable; that is, it needs to remain sustainable as the client base increases.

This is why the best solution is a tool that allows solar sales reps to quickly and comfortably treat large amounts of text conversations, in a reliable and scalable way.
