Texting Blue Collar Guys??

Starting a new project selling a construction LMS, and ZoomInfo is spitting back a WHOLE lotta mobile numbers for my new prospects. My ICP is project executive/Safety director, so basically a lot of stressed construction guys working in the field who are only reachable via cell phone.


I definitely want to incorporate texting steps in my cadencing, so I'd love to hear what your experiences are with texting in sales, and reaching out to blue collar guys in general. Thank you in advance!

They text IRL and most work/scheduling happens there too. Casual casual casual I'd say.

Knowing they are in the field pretty much the whole day, I'd say a call and VM first then text away.

Assert your dominance. Stare him down in silence while you do your business and it will flow hard. Way harder than his. Let him know you're the big dawg at the urinals not the other way around
