Texting with your Champion (Yay or Nay?)

If yay, what are some of your best practices here?


Open to hearing stories where it’s also taken the deal into a nose dive!

I only text when they give me permission. Until then I act as if they don't have a cell.

Only if they ask me to OR I'm very desperate...

+1 on the very desperate. I haven't had anyone respond "don't text me" though so I guess that's a positive.

It won't be my first tactic, but I've found that after a few phone calls, or if they have been difficult to reach, texting can be a low pressure, less formal way of connecting with them. It may open them up to share more since it is more casual and isn't sent from a company email...

I think it depends on the situtation...as well as age. I think younger people prefer texting versus calling.

The average deal size and renewal rates are significantly higher on my team when we have a "text message level" relationship with the champion.
