Whether you\u2019re chasing calls, answering calls, or stressed by the amount of missed calls you need to get back to, something needs to change!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe you have an awesome Virtual Assistant who handles communication for you. Think of the time you can free up in their schedule to focus on other tasks for your business. When working with a Virtual Assistant or any employee, text messaging is a great tool for everyone to utilize.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you missed out on new customer opportunities because you didn\u2019t respond back in time? As a busy cleaning business owner, you have a lot to manage. If you wait an afternoon to return a potential customer\u2019s call, they likely will find another business to hire \u2013 one that responded quickly because of automated systems.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"heading-3\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The era of automation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Business is heading into an era of full automation. As technology continues to advance, more businesses are adopting digital platforms to automate their communication. Customers are also getting smarter with access to more resources at their fingertips. This means that customers\u2019 expectations are increasing along with the advancement of technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to streamline your business operations and digitize touchpoints in your customer\u2019s journey, text messaging is your solution. Are you interested in automating all of your business systems? Check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zenmaid.com\/magazine\/scale-your-cleaning-business\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this<\/a> post to learn how automating your text messaging, marketing, and scheduling can save you at least thirty hours every week!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"574\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zenmaid.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/3-3-1024x574.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6062\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zenmaid.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/3-3-1024x574.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.zenmaid.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/3-3-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.zenmaid.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/3-3-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.zenmaid.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/3-3-1536x861.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.zenmaid.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/3-3.jpg 1566w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"heading-4\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why text messaging for your cleaning business?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you check anyone\u2019s phone screen right now, you can expect it to look like the one pictured above: thousands of unread emails with minimal unread text messages. In this day and age, with increasing technology and decreasing attention spans, long-form communication is dying. Unfortunately, email communication is one of them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you take the time to write an important message to your customers, you want to make sure they\u2019re actually reading them. And that starts with the open rate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/mailchimp.com\/resources\/email-marketing-benchmarks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mailchimp<\/a>, the average open rate for email marketing is 22.7%. Text messaging, on the other hand, has an average open rate of 98%. That\u2019s a drastic difference!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Text messaging offers unique opportunities to connect with your customer. For instance, you can send GIFs, stickers, emojis, and pictures with a text message.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure, you can technically send those connection points in an email, but they\u2019re generally more accepted in a text message.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why? Because text messaging is personal and conversational.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can achieve almost any communication traditionally done over the phone or through email with the power of text messaging. Whether you\u2019re booking an appointment, asking for a review, or sending out a marketing campaign, it can all be done through text messaging.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Life is busy; technology is busier. Your customers are already receiving endless marketing efforts from businesses with email, social media, and video. Stand out from the competition by landing in the most personal piece of technology they have: their text messaging inbox.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"798\" height=\"755\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zenmaid.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6054\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zenmaid.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/3.png 798w, https:\/\/www.zenmaid.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/3-300x284.png 300w, https:\/\/www.zenmaid.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/3-768x727.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 798px) 100vw, 798px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This image is from Emitrr.com<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"heading-5\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What communication does a text messaging platform offer your maid service?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><strong>An all-in-one phone system:<\/strong> Streamline all of your phone communication into one platform. Most business text messaging software allows you to make phone calls and leave messages with the same dashboard you use for text messaging.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Customer education pre and post-purchase: <\/strong>If your customer has a question, you can answer them directly with a text message. You can also keep your customer informed after they book your services by sending them text messages with special offers, discounts, and more service opportunities.\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Appointment reminders: <\/strong>Remind your customers of upcoming appointments, payments, and other important notes with the ease of automated text messaging. Some text messaging platforms will also let your customers reschedule their service through text messaging, cutting out the need for yet another phone call.\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Reviews and reputation management: <\/strong>Ask for reviews through text messaging! Your customers are more likely to fill out a review form if it\u2019s quick and easy to access.\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Direct communication with your customers:<\/strong> In addition to automated text messages, you can communicate directly with customers through text messaging.\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/get.zenmaid.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zenmaid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/free-trial-banner-1.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"heading-6\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to use text messaging at every stage of the customer journey<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We mentioned earlier that text messaging is the best solution for personal communication at every stage of your customer\u2019s journey. In business, the three widely accepted customer journey stages are the awareness stage, the consideration stage, and finally, the decisions stage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The three stages that Anmol Oberoi teaches about text messaging for cleaning businesses are the pre-appointment stage, post-appointment stage, and missed opportunities. In this section, we\u2019re going to break down exactly how you can use text messaging in each stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"578\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zenmaid.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/4-1-1024x578.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6055\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zenmaid.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/4-1-1024x578.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.zenmaid.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/4-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.zenmaid.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/4-1-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.zenmaid.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/4-1-1536x867.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.zenmaid.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/4-1.jpg 1565w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"heading-7\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Pre-Appointment Stage<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In the pre-appointment stage, your potential customer is either considering your services or waiting for their first appointment. While your potential customer is considering you, texting allows direct messaging to answer all of their questions in a timely manner. (Way more effective than playing phone tag all day!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, in this stage, you\u2019re competing with established service providers who have streamlined communication already. Offering potential customers direct messaging to help them in their decision-making is crucial!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your customer has already booked you (wahoo!) automated text messages send them instant appointment reminders. This cuts down on the cost of unexpected lockouts and helps enhance your customer\u2019s experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zenmaid.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/5-2-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6056\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zenmaid.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/5-2-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.zenmaid.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/5-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.zenmaid.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/5-2-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.zenmaid.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/5-2-1536x866.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.zenmaid.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/5-2.jpg 1567w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"heading-8\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Post-Appointment Stage<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>So you\u2019ve landed a new customer, cleaned their home, and received their payment \u2013 way to go!

To make your search easier, these are four things to look for when choosing a platform:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Find a platform that operates separately from your personal phone. <\/strong>Remember, text messaging aims to simplify and streamline communication &#8212; not give you more work! So instead of getting notifications from customers on your personal phone all day, make sure the text messaging platform uses a separate dashboard.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make sure it\u2019s comprehensive. <\/strong>The best text messaging software offers integrated phone systems, reputation management, direct customer engagement, webchat options, and automated marketing options.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Find an affordable platform.<\/strong> You shouldn\u2019t be breaking the bank for automated text messaging. When used correctly, text messaging will start making you money from day one. Pricing varies between companies. Some platforms offer per text pricing, per number pricing, or flat monthly rates. See if you can start with a free trial before you commit to one platform.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Look for good reviews.<\/strong> Reviews reflect what a platform is really like. Always check the reviews before choosing new text messaging software.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"heading-11\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ready to try text messaging for your cleaning business?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you looking for a text messaging platform built specifically for maid service owners?
