5 Ways SMS and CRM Integration Can Benefit Businesses using Dynamics 365 CRM

To develop effective sales processes, businesses need every advantage to connect with their customers and build lasting relationships. And for that, you need to reach them and be seen. And your traditional marketing channels like emails and digital ads aren’t giving you the results.

So, what’s the solution?

Classic TEXTING!

A survey found that 91% of business owners and marketing managers see higher conversion rates with integrated marketing campaigns that include SMS.

Also, text messages boast a phenomenal 98% open rate compared to just 20% for emails. This useful statistic highlights the power of SMS for immediate communication and engagement. However, managing separate SMS platforms alongside your CRM can lead to swivel chairing. And for employees who directly deal with clients and partners, can be very counterproductive.
