Send the text without picking up your phone.

There's always a message that needs to go out. The appointment reminder, the "your order's ready," the quick heads-up to a customer who's waiting. You mean to send it, then the day swallows you whole and it slips. By the time you remember, the moment has passed and the customer has moved on.

Hand it to your agent. Just say who to reach and what to say, and the text goes out for you. It can send picture messages too, keep an eye on the replies coming back, and tell you who answered and who went quiet.

You could ask it to:

• "Text Maria that her table is ready for 7pm."
• "Send everyone on today's list a reminder about their appointment."
• "Did that customer ever reply to my message?"
• "Send this photo of the finished job to the client."

Install Bandwidth and let the messages send themselves.
