Explore these 110 sales text message templates designed to help work through creative roadblocks at all points of the sales funnel.
Sales is a delicate business, and knowing what to say at every stage is crucial.
We’ve shared some ideas before on how to write SMS messages for marketing.
While these tips are still relevant, we recognize the added challenge that comes with texting a lead with a call to action that asks them to hand over their money.
It may even seem contradictory to write your sales pitch like you’re talking to a friend, considering many people purposefully avoid asking friends for cash.
The following list of text templates is our solution for the pesky tone, timing, and topic questions that arise when you go to write and send a sales message.

A first touch text is, well, your first impression when speaking to a contact. That makes it extra important in the overall customer interaction cycle.
Your first touch text should set expectations on what customers will receive from you, introduce your brand voice, and possibly invite the customer to contact you with questions or concerns.
