Sureshot Success Story

Vistage Uses Multiple Channels to Reach the World's Busiest Executives

Reaching Modern Business Leaders is no easy task

Vistage, the world's largest coaching organization for business executives, hosts over 12,000 meetings each year for its 23,000+ members. Their impressive client roster features high-profile executives from every industry; however, these busy leaders are some of the most difficult people to reach.

The Challenge of Increasing Executive Engagement

Ensuring members stay informed about upcoming events is critical to Vistage's mission, since event attendance directly impacts their success. The company used a combination of voice reminders and emails for event communications, but the engagement levels and results were underwhelming.

The Sureshot Solution

Vistage used Sureshot's SMS app to add text (SMS) and multimedia (MMS) messages to their cross-channel approach. In addition to supporting email and voice campaigns, they used SMS to create, schedule and send event notifications, updates, meeting reminders, and links to agendas.

Cross-Channel Boosts Vistage Member Engagement More Than 5X

Upon adding SMS to their cross-channel approach, Vistage saw an immediate increase in opt-ins. Best of all, member engagement has increased more than five times, leading to a significant increase in event attendance and success, as well as member satisfaction.

Adding More SMS to Vistage's Cross-Channel Mix

Thanks to the measurable results SMS has produced in Vistage's cross-channel approach, the company has plans to use it for a variety of member and event communications, including announcements, pre-event soirees, breakout sessions, new speakers, and more.
