How to choose an OnlySales alternative
Start with how your team actually works
Teams usually look for an alternative when something about their current texting platform no longer fits: pricing that grows faster than results, replies getting lost, a missing AI feature, or a workflow built for someone else's sales process. Before comparing feature lists, write down what a good day looks like for your reps.
For most insurance and sales teams, that means three things: leads get a text within minutes, every reply lands somewhere a rep will see it, and follow-up keeps happening until the lead books or opts out. Judge any platform, including Text2Sale, by how well it does those three things.
Questions to ask any texting platform
Feature pages tend to look alike, so ask specific questions and test them during setup. The answers show quickly whether a platform fits a high-volume sales workflow.
- How is pricing structured, and what does a typical month cost at our volume?
- Is AI reply assistance included, and can we turn it off per conversation?
- How are STOP replies handled, and do opt-outs apply across all campaigns?
- Who handles 10DLC brand and campaign registration, and how long does it take?
- Can a manager see every rep's campaigns and conversations?
- Can we import our existing contacts and opt-out list by CSV?
Switching without losing momentum
A clean switch protects your sender reputation. Export your contacts and, most importantly, your opt-out list before you leave your current platform, and import the opt-outs first so nobody who unsubscribed hears from you again.
Plan for 10DLC registration before your first campaign. Your new numbers need to be linked to a registered brand and campaign, and approval usually takes a few business days. Text2Sale walks you through registration in the dashboard, and you can build templates and drip sequences while you wait.
