Do you use SMS text messaging as a part of your franchise sales recruitment strategy? On September 30th, 2021, the telecommunications industry initiated a new texting standard referred to as “A2P 10DLC” that will result in nearly all text messages getting caught in or slowed by spam filters, threatening to slow down your communications with prospects.

But a new program has been created to help identify “safe senders” and prevent delays. Much like TSA’s Known Traveler Number (KTN) (aka Pre-Check), this new program will allow brands to apply to become “Trusted Texters.” This lets them to send texts out safely under their own company umbrella – and bypass the widespread spam net.

 

Watch this webinar to learn about the new standard in detail and discover how to create your own “known texter profile” within the program.

Viewers of this webinar will learn how to:

 

  • Avoid being caught or slowed by spam filters
  • Get their brand listed as a “Trusted Texter”
  • Achieve the flexibility to text from many phone numbers to optimize branding and marketing campaigns
  • Determine whether to register at the “Starter” or “Standard” levels
