Until recently your reputation was in little jeopardy of being hurt by simply calling prospects or customers. However, unknowingly calling as scam likely could have a negative impact on your reputation. Reputation management should incorporate your caller ID reputation, monitoring for flags on call blocking apps and carriers.
Fed up with endless robocalls, consumers are not hesitant to flag numbers from unwanted calls. These calling techniques could be hurting your business and increase the likelyhood your numbers get flagged as "Spam Risk", "Scam Likely" or "Nuisance Call".
Using proper phone etiquette can dramatically improve your customer experience and conversion rates. Phone etiquette begins with your dialing lists, campaign setup and caller ID but ultimately ends with your agents' performance on the call.
Every call center should be aware of compliance laws. While the TCPA and DNC are known by almost everyone, there are industry and regional specific compliance regulations that could affect your business. Here are some of the major call compliance laws you should know about.
"Vishing", or voice phishing, are scams conducted via telephone to try to defraud consumers. Typically these employ caller ID spoofing or SMS spoofing to try to appear legitimate. While legislation to stop robocalls has been passed, this hasn't stopped the millions of scam calls annually.
Blended call centers provide opportunities to improve the customers' experience. Automated call routing and skill based routing ensures customers reach agents with the appropriate skill level to resolve issues. Outbound calls also benefit agents from enhanced data forecasting.
