call center Communication
Imagine - A new lead comes into your business from your website or a lead aggregator like HomeAdvisor or Modernize. The quickest your agent can get in touch with them over the phone (on a good day) is usually a few minutes.
Instead of wasting those precious minutes, Hatch sends that lead an automated, personalized text or voicemail from your agent the minute they hit submit.
From there, the lead can text back with your rep and have a conversation immediately. the best part? Hatch will automatically continue to follow-up until they respond through text, email, or voicemails.
If you want to connect with a customer outside of just calling, schedule a demo with Hatch to experience the platform for yourself!
