What is Text Request?

Text Request is a business texting platform built to ignite customer engagement. It is a plug-and-play messaging solutions to everyday communication problems that enables businesses to connect to customers anytime, anywhere. Text Request is designed to scale from one person handling a few conversations, to thousands of employees sending millions of messages, to custom solutions built on its API.

Text Request is the BEST

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Text Request daily throughout the day in all of our departments for a bunch of different tasks such as; Scheduling, Confirmation of appointments, Billing and Authorization, and the list goes on. The product doesn't really address business "problems" perse but it does help us incorporate better communication with our patients whether that is in regard to scheduling appointments or for a billing issue.

Pros

  • Keeps all of it's customers engaged
  • Actively listens to any suggestions a customer may have
  • Has a product that runs immaculately
  • Offers rewards for using their app that we will use anyway

Cons

  • I think so far the only improvement I could suggest would be to be able to "un-send" a text within like 30 secs in case you send something out incorrectly.
  • Maybe adding more emojis
  • When sending a file make the size of the pic they see bigger

Return on Investment

  • That is not something we see from an office standpoint. This is something that our Headquarters would keep track of.
  • What I can say is that the amount of patients being scheduled after implementing TR has been in an upward trend.
  • Also patients that missed their appointments are more likely to reschedule when being able to do so with just a text message

Customer Service Superstars with an AMAZING communication tool

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In my call scheduling center we have to reach out to our clients multiple times a day with schedule updates, questions etc. They have hired us to answer their phones and schedule their appointments so calling them defeats the purpose. We needed a new way to reach out to our clients quickly and efficiently and where any of our team members could continue the conversation (instead of just using a personal cell phone) - when a team member would leave sometimes the client would get lost in the schedule change!

Pros

  • text clients quickly and efficiently
  • Allow all team members to communicate with all clients and keep the conversation going
  • Templates to easily send regular texts
  • Customer service is better than excellent!

Cons

  • Ability to send a group text where the group can all see who got the text currently you can set up group texts but the members receive them individually - being able to see them as a group would be more efficient
  • Integrate with Service Monster software
  • Provide a multi company dashboard so my clients could implement for their companies and my team could respond to the texts - might do this but i am not sure and I think the costs are higher than other text platforms

Return on Investment

  • We save TIME - which I can't quantify easily
  • We have improved our scheduling numbers by 20% because of the quick responses we get to our clients
  • Our customer satisfaction score has increased by 30% because of the better communication we have with our clients
  • Our team's efficiency has increased and booking rates have increased by 15%

New ways to reach patients !

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it in for reminders to our patients for appointments, billing , and all communication as sometimes people will answer a text before a call even when it is your doctor calling. Patients with reminders keep their appointments with less no shows with text request. Works great for our clinic

Pros

  • Text reminders
  • Contact lists
  • Templates

Cons

  • Overall flow

Return on Investment

  • More appointment kept
  • Increased revenue

Highly recommend Text Request

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I love using Text Request. It uses the same phone number as my business. Many people find texting easier than talking on the phone, and this allows me to text with my customers. I love the features like templetes! I can pre-write basic messages and be able to quickly respond to customers when they send a message or put in a request for more information. Another great feature is scheduling, this allows me to text at 4 am but schedule it to be sent at a more appropriate time. I can also set up reminder texts about appointments when they are booked, so I do not have to remember to call or text reminders.

Pros

  • Customer service
  • features

Cons

  • smaller packages with more included features

Return on Investment

  • I started using this when I opened, so I have nothing to compare it to.

Text Request is Awesome

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Text Request for customer service purposes such as sending ID cards, reminding clients of payments due, etc. Clients often text us with simple questions instead of calling, which we love! We also collect new business information via text if that's what is easiest for the prospective client. Text Request makes it possible to connect with clients who tend not to answer their phone calls.

Pros

  • having auto-response option for after hours
  • organizing reviews
  • ability to print messages

Return on Investment

  • we have been able to save multiple policies from cancellation
  • clients respond to us much faster
