2X Solutions Pre-Texting Cadence & Best Practices
Now customers can access our text messaging feature to help enhance pick-up rates across new lead workflows. A pre-call text is a brief text message sent to a lead just before a sales call to set context, build familiarity, and increase the likelihood of connection. For new leads using 2X Solutions, pre-texting has been shown to significantly improve performance, raising baseline connection rates from around 54% to 61–69%, a 7–15% lift.
- Total texts: 5–7 (sweet spot)
- Rule of thumb: Text only when it precedes a real call attempt
- Day 0–2: High-Intent Window (Critical)
- Goal: Awareness + legitimacy while intent is highest
TEXT 1
Day 0 – Immediately before first call
- Text #1 (Pre-Call Alert)
“Hi ##record_first_name## this is ABC company reaching out regarding your recent interest in [X]. We’ll be giving you a quick call in 3 to 5 minutes.”
TEXT 2
Day 1 – Before second call attempt
- Text #2 (Reminder + Value)
“Hi ##record_first_name## following up on your request for [X]. We’ll call in 3 to 5 minutes to gather your information and get the package out to you immediately.”
TEXT 3
Day 2 – Before third call
- Text #3 (Soft urgency)
"Hi “##record_first_name## we’re still trying to connect regarding your interest in [X]. We’ll try calling again in 3 to 5 minutes.”- This window drives the biggest lift; most of your 7–15% connection improvement comes from here.
TEXT 4
Day 6 – Before call
- Text #4 (Relevance nudge)
“Hi ##record_first_name##, just checking back in about your interest in [X]. For your convenience, it’s us calling you in 3 to 5 minutes.”
TEXT 5
Day 10 – Before call
- Text #5 (Choice-based language)
“Hi ##record_first_name##, we’ll give you one more quick call regarding your recent interest in [X]. We’ll try you in 3 to 5 minutes.”
