- Strangest thing happened for one of my businesses is that we sell something fairly high end. It's in the tens of thousands. And we had an assumption that people could not possibly buy this over a text message sale. And we started questioning that assumption a couple of months ago. And today 16% of our clients are signing up. Having never spoken to a salesperson, it's just text. So we call this sell by thumbs, which is a traumatic thing for me at the moment. But I'm literally not one of our sell by thumbs experts. But we have our whole sales team, we've retrained them on how to sell by text. And it turns out some of the best people, they don't want to talk to you. They just want to jump on text messages. And they want to fire off their questions and you fire back your answers and fire off the questions. The beauty of this is that pretty soon that that is very automatable, right? You can have an AI system that helps and supports the salespeople to get that perfectly dialed in every single time.
