If you’re not using text marketing in your business…

You’re leaving money on the table.

In this episode, we’re diving into how to use SMS marketing, I interview CO Founder Jake Dempsey, to build a powerful list, increase engagement, and turn conversations into conversions.

Because here’s the truth:

Social media gives you visibility.

But text message marketing gives you ownership.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

🔥 What text marketing is and why it works better than email

🔥 How SMS marketing creates higher open rates and faster responses

🔥 Why you need to build your own text message list (not rely on social media)

🔥 The biggest mistakes people make with SMS marketing campaigns

🔥 How to write text messages that actually get replies

🔥 The difference between email marketing vs text marketing

🔥 How to use SMS to increase conversions, sales, and engagement

🔥 Real strategies to scale your business using text message marketing tools

Why text marketing works:

98% of text messages are read
Most are opened within minutes
It creates direct, personal communication

That means:

👉 More conversations

👉 More connection

👉 More sales

The biggest mistake in SMS marketing:

Most people treat text messages like ads.

Instead of using text marketing to build relationships, they only send promotions.

And that’s why their audience stops responding.

The shift:

Stop using SMS to sell.

Start using SMS to:

connect
engage
and build trust

Because the real money isn’t in the message…

It’s in the conversation.

If you want to grow with text marketing, you need:

✔ A strategy to build your SMS list

✔ A system to nurture your audience

✔ A way to turn replies into revenue
