Call-connect rates average at around 6%.
This means, for every 100 calls you dial, 6 prospects pick up the phone. The more you dial, the greater the opportunities to connect with prospects. But, if prospects aren’t picking up your calls, dialing more won’t increase the call connects. The key is to reach the right prospect at the right time.
In this post, we’ll show you 3 ways to increase your call-connect rates on Klenty.
Local Dial
When prospects get calls from unknown regions, they are less likely to answer. Instead, you can call them from a number with a local area code to increase your call-connect rate. When you turn on Local Dial, the dialer automatically picks the number with the closest area code to that of your prospect to make the call.
Prospect Time Zone
Timing matters! Figuring out your prospects' locations and time zones can get tricky, particularly when making calls all day long. While we know different days and times of the week work for different prospects, calling them at odd hours is never a good idea! Enable Prospect Time Zone to find your prospect's exact time when you call and optimize your connect rates.
Voicemail Drop
Most people are likely to listen to voicemails even if they don’t answer the phone. Segment your prospects list and record a personalized message for each segment. Drop your pre-recorded voicemails and move on to the next call. You’d be surprised at the number of people who call you back.
