If you’ve ever accidentally picked up a robocall, you understand why more and more people would prefer to receive a SMS text from the people they’re doing business with. 

And if you’re a loan officer, updating your borrowers on their loan application status can be extremely time consuming. After all, how many times have you sent an email or left a voicemail only to never receive a reply?

These unopened messages are huge inefficiencies in your day. Plus, they can lead to the loan process taking longer than it should. However, consistent communication with your borrowers is a critical aspect of your business.

How do you stay in contact with your borrowers?

You have four options for contacting your borrowers or partners: meeting in person, email, call, or text. In fact, Jungo actually helps you streamline all of these communication channels. However, the fact is that more and more people prefer business communication via text. 78% of US consumers say receiving a text message is the fastest way to reach them for important updates.

So, if you want to optimize client communication for more than three-quarters of your clients and partners, what’s the best way to do so?

Texting updates are a great solution. However, texting a client can sometimes be more time-consuming than helpful. You would need to first search for your borrower’s phone number in your client database on your computer. Then, type that phone number into your phone, and manually write out the text message.

That’s all assuming that you don’t get distracted by the other notifications on your phone along the way! Even once the text is successfully sent and you receive a reply from your borrower, you won’t have a history of the interaction on your database, which can lead to confusion in the future.

That’s where the Jungo SMS Text app comes in.
