Is Email Dying? The Shift to Text & WhatsApp in Business 📲

How to Communicate Where People Actually Respond - from The Exceptional Thinking Business Podcast

In this episode of The Exceptional Business Podcast, Helen explores a major shift happening in business communication - the move away from email and towards text messaging and WhatsApp.

With AI-driven spam filters becoming more aggressive, even well-written emails are increasingly landing in junk folders or being ignored altogether. The result? Lower open rates, slower responses, and missed opportunities.

💡 Key insights from Helen:
📧 Email isn’t dead - but it’s weaker - Increased spam classification means email can no longer carry your strategy alone.
📲 Text messaging gets seen - SMS has far higher visibility and response rates when used professionally and sparingly.
💬 WhatsApp works - with care -It’s powerful but personal, so permission, tone, and boundaries really matter.
🤖 AI automation is promising (but not perfect) - Automated texts are improving, but still need human oversight.
🧪 Test before you automate - Measure engagement first, then scale what works.
🔗 Integration beats obsession - The strongest results come from combining email, text, and WhatsApp into one joined-up strategy.

Helen’s message is clear: it’s not about choosing one channel - it’s about using the right mix, at the right time, for the right message.
When communication is strategic and measured, engagement follows.

According to the Direct Marketing Association, only 1–2 appointments come from every 100 telemarketing calls. Let’s be honest—that’s pretty rubbish.

Now imagine flipping those odds.

With Exceptional Thinking’s three-step integrated process—LinkedIn connections, warm-up emails, and smart telemarketing—we’re averaging a 17% call-to-lead ratio. That’s 17 meetings for every 100 contacts.

Which stats would you rather have working for your business?
We guarantee between three to six qualified meetings every month. Meetings that are worth your time, with decision-makers who actually want to talk.

If you’d like to see how we can do this for you, let’s chat.

One of the questions we often get asked is: “Can you get me more than 3–6 appointments a month using LinkedIn?”

The short answer: Yes.

The longer answer: LinkedIn has limits. If you start connecting with hundreds of people a week, LinkedIn will (quite rightly) get suspicious. That’s why we cap appointments from a single account at around 3–6 per month.

But here’s the good news:
• Run 2 LinkedIn accounts and you can expect 8–12 appointments a month
• Run 3 accounts and you’re looking at 12–18 appointments
• And so on… you get the picture.

It’s like adding extra fishing rods into the same pond — the more you have, the more you catch. 🎣

Our recommendation? Start with one account, prove it works, and then scale up when you’re ready. That way, you’re growing steadily and safely.

If you’d like to chat about how we can set this up for you and get consistent appointments in your diary, simply email us at [email protected], call us on 01386 298 042, or book a time here:
