Hustle: the name explains it!
Hustle was being used by my sales team, as well as a non-profit that I work for. We use it to get in touch with prospects at scale but while having personal conversations with them in a medium they don't get reached out by too often. I also used it for fundraising for a non-profit.
- Personalized texting at scale.
- Scrubbing numbers for cell phones with 99% accuracy.
- Sends alerts so you never miss a notification.
- Salesforce integration could be more fluid, but at least they have one.
- An Outreach or Salesloft integration would be amazing with a Hustle step added to a cadence.
- If it is being used for sales or fundraising, amazing ROI.
- Used for engagement, great to keep a consistent following.
- Not a very expensive tool at all.
I've heard of getthru.io (formerly Relay). Basically, it is just a copy of Hustle (maybe younger as well, not as experienced in the market). I didn't dive deep into their platform to get an idea of their capabilities or integrations. They do seem to have been (maybe) steadier on their feet in the market, but I'm not sure. Test both for yourself!

Add Some Hustle to Your Membership Base
Hustle is the one-to-one texting platform that we use at our organization to optimize communication between company and client. We can text all of our clients at once as needed, which helps streamline communication and get the message out faster across a medium that we know they are using and checking often.
- Send a lot of texts quickly
- Can be used as a team for responses
- This is one of the more expensive options available
- Wish there was more data to report on
- It has helped us get in front of new prospects easier.
- It has improved communication with current customers.
- EZ Texting, Textio and Intercom
Hustle is a bit of a different animal when compared to various enterprise texting platforms like EZ Texting, Textel, Textio, etc. It's the best bet when you're trying to grow a membership base and provide responsive customer care, but may not be the best option if you're trying to market the latest offers.
