Outbound calls come from agents or employees on behalf of a company. Setting up caller ID with Global Call Forwarding transforms these calls from seemingly random phone numbers into a familiar local business number that is easily recognized by customers and establishes a local presence.
This premium feature allows for your company to be recognizable and generates a higher response rate when contacting international customers.
Why Should I Set Up Outbound Caller IDs?
Setting up your outbound caller ID and using a familiar phone number is proven to be an effective tool in customer outreach. A successful outbound calling campaign can yield results including an increase in engagement and sales.
When a familiar phone number calls – instead of an ‘Unknown’ or ‘ Private’ number – the recipient is much more likely to pick up. And when you get this service from a global telephony provider, you can extend your resources beyond a local area code to even include other countries.
Changing the outbound caller ID can be done with any number purchased with Global Call Forwarding.
