183: Why SMS Marketing Crushes Email Every Time with Chris Brisson - 7FL

What if your marketing strategy is overlooking the one channel with the highest engagement?

In today’s episode, Chris Brisson, founder of Salesmsg, reveals why SMS marketing is still the most powerful communication tool for businesses in 2025—and it’s not just because of the open rates. Chris dives into the importance of compliance, explains the massive shift from one-way texting to conversational, two-way communication, and why businesses need to be using SMS as part of their marketing arsenal right now.

But Chris doesn’t just talk strategy. After building his first company, Call Loop, he shares why he made the tough decision to shut it down and launch Salesmsg, a company focused on reimagining SMS marketing for modern businesses.

If you’re still relying heavily on email or other outdated methods, this episode will open your eyes to a whole new world of customer engagement.

Tune in to learn why SMS isn’t just a trend, but a business tool you can’t afford to ignore!
