Combating Negative Call Labels

Negative call labels can damage your company’s reputation and reduce consumer trust. Knowing this, businesses can take steps to mitigate and resolve these issues and ensure that calls connect consumers feel safe.

Internal data collected by our team has found that 90% of legitimate businesses have experienced inaccurate call labels. Meanwhile, 30% of legitimate businesses have detrimental warning labels, including spam, scam, or fraud.

To combat these concerning statistics, Caller ID Reputation has launched an MSA affiliate program to provide a white-glove approach to industry specialists. This program allows greater reach to help businesses combat these harmful call labels. It includes expert-led demos, dedicated partner support, and exclusive industry updates.

Warning Labels vs. Intent Labels

When identifying potentially harmful labels for your business, it’s essential to acknowledge the difference between intent labels and warning labels. Intent labels are not necessarily dangerous; they suggest the purpose or “intent” behind the call. Some examples of intent labels include charity/non-profit, prison, telemarketing, political, or survey. These labels give recipients a general idea of the purpose behind the call.

Unlike intent labels, warning labels are the types of call labels that may be harmful to your business reputation. Some examples of warning labels include spam likely, fraud likely, or high risk. These harmful warning labels are often on “flagged calls” by carriers.

Generally, these labels are applied to robocalls. However, many legitimate businesses face these warning labels, making it difficult to connect with leads due to unanswered calls or an unfavorable business reputation.

Even though warning labels are designed to be helpful to consumers, they come with a risk for businesses. Taking measures to mitigate flags, such as using ethical dialing practices and staying compliant with regulations, is also a key component to consider.

How Do Call Labels Affect Businesses?

An inaccurate or negative call label can have a devastating impact on your company’s reputation and affect your ability to contact leads or customers. Negative call labels can lead to:

• Lower answer rates
• Lost revenue
• Decreased agent productivity
• Lost opportunities
• Damage to consumer trust

While negative call labels can affect any business industry, businesses with high call volumes are more at risk. High-risk industries include financial institutions and insurance agencies, among others. No matter what, it’s essential to make efforts to mitigate harmful call labels to set your business up for success.

The Impact of Missed Calls

While there are various reasons that consumers don’t pick up the phone, mislabeled calls are a substantial factor. The impact of missed calls is profound, as every missed call is a missed opportunity for your business to convert a lead into a paying customer.

Data suggests that unanswered calls and poor customer service could cost U.S. contact centers an average of over $600 million daily. Missed calls also damage customer trust, impacting your ability to reach customers with time-sensitive information. In the case of industries like health care, this poses a serious risk. Imagine being unable to reach your customers at a significant event or sharing time-sensitive news due to harmful call labels.
