Three Strategies to Increase Conversions for Inbound Calls

Share this Post

Companies and marketers know the value of calls. 52% of all traffic comes from mobile, and because of this, calling is made so much easier. In fact:

Seventy percent (70%) of mobile searches have used click-to-call buttons (via Google).

51% are likely to make a purchase.

Forty-five percent (45%) of consumers initiated a purchase over the phone (via KissMetrics).

This is interesting, but I already have a phone line. I already have access to that 51%. So what’s the problem?

The problem is, so many calls are unanswered and go to voicemail. Different industry voicemail rates range from 6.1% to 26.3%. 44.4% to 64.6% of those have intent to buy.

This is how much revenue you’re losing from missing those calls.

So how do you increase conversions from every potential customer who calls you?

 

1. Get detailed messages
You can’t answer every call that comes in and complete a sale. However, you can get their complete details, and any other required information and then lead them to that next sales call. Get their details, schedule an appointment for when you have time for a longer consultation. Make sure they end the call feeling happy and taken care of.

Of course, all that could still go to waste without a follow-up call. Make sure you organize voice calls and scheduled appointments, transcribing every important detail for that follow up call.

Repetitive questions could mean the difference between hiring you or the next firm they call.

2. Forward it to the right person
Are you getting a call for support, sales, or any other inquiry? Stop wasting time answering a call, only to find out it’s supposed to go to Sally from accounting, or Marco to close a deal. If you’re supposed to be spending your time on something else, don’t spend it answering calls you’re not supposed to handle. It doesn’t just waste your time, it also adds wait time for your caller.

3. Never miss a call
Calls are missed during business hours on Mondays to Fridays, but customers also sometimes call after 5 or on the weekends if that’s when they’re free. You may not be able to accommodate them, but they should be able to schedule an appointment with you on a more ideal time. This won’t happen from a single voice message. You need someone to take the call, schedule that appointment, and ideally, inform you about it via text message or email.

You don’t need to create these systems yourself, because these three are just a few things that Gabbyville receptionists do that increase conversion and professionalism for our clients.
