AGENT SALES

“I normally tell students to text me when they need help, but with TextRequests notification issues, I have had to resort to having them call me, which makes juggling multiple conversations very difficult.”

Jacob C.

Instructor

“I am also not a fan of the incoming message notification chime ( it does sound off until you open the platform, which is a good thing), it does not always sound and there have been many occasions that I missed or was too late responding to messages because I received no notification.”

Mellissa C.

Instructor

Cons

“The main challenge that we face while using this platform in the long term is that it primarily focuses on basic social media management and not on advanced analytics and automation services that are needed for more sophisticated internet campaigns.”

Pratush R.
