Local presence dialing.
Increase connection rates by allowing Talkdesk to automatically select the best phone number and area code to display on your outbound caller ID when placing calls.
What is local presence dialing?
Local presence dialing is when a call center chooses to make outbound calls using a number with a local area code, rather than a toll-free number. When your call center uses local area codes, your customers are more likely to answer calls, improving the contact center’s overall performance. This is because using a local area code builds trust with recipients. Plus, it shows that your business is keeping its customers’ specific locales in mind.
Talkdesk offers several local presence dialing features. For instance, our platform makes phone numbers available for purchase from a variety of geographical locations. You can use Talkdesk to buy these phone numbers with a single click. We can also provide local caller ID, which automatically selects the best phone number according to each customer’s location.
Because of the trust established by local presence dialing, outbound call centers that use it will see an increase in answer rates.
