Turn iMessage into your highest-performing outbound and follow-up channel. Tuco AI helps B2B sales teams get 3x higher reply rates vs email and 95%+ delivery with blue bubble messaging.
Highlight: teams see meeting show-up rates climb into the 68–75% range when they add iMessage reminders.
B2B buyers are done with generic email cadences
Email overload
Your team is sending thousands of emails every week, but reply rates keep sliding and meetings keep ghosting. Inboxes are noisy, spam filters are aggressive, and every sequence looks the same to the buyer.
Tool fragmentation
Meanwhile, your reps scramble across tools—email, LinkedIn, CRM, Slack—to chase the same accounts. Pipeline reviews turn into guesswork because you're not sure who actually saw which touch.
Common pain points for B2B sales teams
Cold email reply rates stuck in the low single digits
Meeting no-shows wasting calendar capacity
Deals going dark after great discovery calls
Slow or inconsistent lead follow-up SLAs
Fragmented communication history across tools
SDR burnout from repetitive manual follow-ups
The cost of inaction: slower deal velocity, lower pipeline coverage, and higher CAC as outbound efficiency drops.

Customer story: SDR team turns blue bubbles into booked meetings
Company: Mid-market B2B SaaS selling into revenue leaders
Challenge: SDR team of 12 was hitting volume goals but struggling with low reply rates and inconsistent show-up for demos.
Implementation: connected Salesforce and their sales engagement platform to Tuco AI, then added iMessage sequences for cold follow-up, confirmations, and proposal reminders in under 2 weeks.
Workflows used: cold outreach assist, demo confirmation and no-show recovery, proposal follow-up, and 60-day renewal pings on closed-won accounts.
Results (90 days): 3.1x increase in reply rates on targeted accounts, meeting show-up improved from ~53% to 71%, and a measurable lift in stage conversion from first meeting to qualified opportunity.
“Our reps didn't need another tool. They just needed prospects to actually see messages. Tuco AI made iMessage feel like a natural extension of our playbooks—now the default question in pipeline reviews is 'Did we text them yet?'”
— VP of Sales, B2B SaaS company
Best practices for B2B iMessage automation
Lead with context and consent
Reference how you got their details (demo request, webinar, mutual connection) and let them know why you're reaching out over text.
Keep messages concise
Aim for 2–4 short lines per message. Break details into follow ups instead of sending walls of text.
Use clear, low-friction CTAs
Ask for a simple reply ("yes/no", "reschedule") or link to a short booking flow. Don't force long-form answers.
Be thoughtful about timing and cadence
Reserve iMessage for high-impact moments and avoid nighttime sends. Combine with email and calls for a balanced sequence.
Respect opt-out and preferences
Make it easy to say “stop” and ensure Tuco AI updates your CRM so reps don't accidentally override preferences.
A/B test plays just like email
Experiment with hooks, CTAs, and timing. Use Tuco AI and your CRM to see which variants drive more replies and qualified meetings.

How is iMessage different from SMS for B2B?
iMessage is a blue bubble experience with higher perceived trust, richer media, and fewer carrier constraints. Tuco AI customers typically see higher delivery and reply rates on iMessage vs traditional SMS, without needing A2P registration.
Which teams get the most value from Tuco AI?
SDR and AE teams running outbound and inbound follow-up, RevOps teams who own pipeline instrumentation, and agencies managing demand gen programs see the fastest ROI from iMessage automation.
Do we need developer resources to get started?
No. Most teams connect their CRM or sales engagement tool and configure sequences without writing code. For custom use cases, Tuco AI also offers an iMessage API for your engineering team.
How do you handle compliance and opt-outs?
Tuco AI is designed to support TCPA-conscious messaging practices, including consent tracking and automatic opt-out handling. Opt-out status is synced back to your CRM so your reps respect preferences across channels.
How long does implementation usually take?
Teams typically connect tools, configure 2–3 core workflows, and start sending iMessage sequences in under 2 weeks. Many launch a focused pilot in a few days.
Can Tuco AI handle group messaging?
Yes, Tuco AI supports group messaging use cases like multi-stakeholder deal coordination, though we generally recommend starting with 1:1 outreach and adding group threads for specific plays.
What does pricing look like for B2B sales teams?
Pricing depends on the number of active users and monthly message volume. There are no separate carrier or A2P fees. View pricing or talk to sales for a tailored quote.
How does Tuco AI compare to traditional sales engagement tools?
Tuco AI doesn't replace your existing platform—it sits alongside it, adding iMessage automation as a high-performing channel. You keep your current cadences and add blue bubbles where they matter most.
