Instead of wasting those precious minutes, Hatch sends that lead an automated, personalized text or voicemail from your agent the minute they hit submit.
From there, the lead can text back with your rep and have a conversation immediately. the best part? Hatch will automatically continue to follow-up until they respond through text, email, or voicemails.
