Rich Call Data Auditing to Avoid Spam Labels
Call intent labels have the potential to help you reach more customers and leads. But what if your number attracts a negative call intent label? It’s much harder to connect with people when their caller ID screens display warnings like “scam likely” or “possible scam.”
Rich call data auditing can help you avoid unwarranted labels that prevent consumers from answering your calls. Keep reading to learn more about rich call data (RCD), the benefits of rich call data auditing, and how Caller ID Reputation’s Device Cloud solution can help.
How Does Rich Call Data Differ From Caller ID?
People often use “caller ID” when referring to any information their mobile devices display about incoming calls. The phrase “caller ID” works well enough in casual conversation, but there are significant technical differences between caller ID and rich call data.
Caller ID is a technology introduced in the 1980s. When consumers or businesses subscribed to the service, they would see the names of anyone calling them. In most cases, the service provider already had the information, so it was relatively easy to show the name of anyone calling you.
That caller ID system has become less essential. The United States only has about 100 million active landlines, and that number is expected to keep shrinking over the years. Unfortunately, caller ID works by carriers checking a database of CNAM information. This means each carrier might display caller ID information different.
RCD leverages the STIR/SHAKEN framework to communicate information between the dialer and the recipient. Rich call data also lets you show consumers more types of information, including your logo, your reason for calling, and the department placing the call.
RCD doesn’t completely eliminate spoofing threats, but it helps reduce the threat that you will get targeted. Also, giving consumers more information makes them feel more confident about answering calls.
Benefits of Auditing Your Rich Call Data
Rich call data auditing helps ensure that your customers see accurate information about your organization. In return, that should help boost your answer rates so your agents get to speak to more prospects, creating more opportunities to turn leads into paying customers.
With regular rich call data auditing, you can benefit from:
Caller ID accuracy
Everything starts with accuracy. If phone screens display inaccurate information, it will harm your organization more than it helps.
There’s a lot of misinformation in the world. RCD auditing nearly eliminates the possibility that your customers and leads will see inaccurate information when you call them. That already gives you a significant advantage over competitors that don’t use rich call data auditing.
Improving consumer confidence
Today’s consumers don’t trust incoming calls, especially when they don’t recognize the caller’s number or name. Rich call data auditing has the power to correct any inaccurate information to start rebuilding trust with consumers. Rebuilding that trust won’t happen quickly. After enough positive experiences, though, people will feel more comfortable answering calls from sources they trust.
Building brand recognition and trust
Even though it will take time to build trust with consumers, organizations that embrace RCD auditing will lead the pack. Ensuring accurate caller ID information now means you can start building brand recognition and trust immediately.
Mitigating spam call labels
RCD auditing lets you know whether your number has attracted any negative call labels. If you see spam call labels, you can get them removed through redress and remediation. Caller ID Reputation’s team of experts can handle this quickly, so you can start communicating with customers as soon as possible.
Complying with your industry’s regulatory standards
Displaying accurate information makes it easier to comply with any industry regulations your agents need to follow.
