If your business relies on outbound calls, you’re probably familiar with the challenge of getting people to answer the phone. It’s frustrating, but it’s also understandable.

❌ Perhaps they’re busy.

❌ Maybe it’s the wrong number.

❌ Or maybe you called at the wrong time.

But here’s the most common reason your outbound calls aren’t getting answered: They don’t recognize your random call from an unfamiliar area code.

According to statistics, people are 40% more likely to pick up if they recognize the area code. But realistically, you can’t have an office in every city.

Enter: “local presence dialing.”

If you haven’t heard of it before, it’s a game-changer. Local presence dialing automatically matches your number to the same area code as your lead. Here’s how it works:

First, you acquire a batch of numbers in bulk from the areas you’ll be calling.

Then, you upload them to a dialer that supports local presence dialing (like Aloware, for example).

It sounds simple, right? Until you realize you don’t want to invest in random numbers without knowing exactly where you’re calling. That’s why the best dialers already have local presence dialing built-in for you.

Now, let’s dive into why you might want to consider using a local presence dialer:

● Improved answer rates lead to more calls and more revenue.

● Studies show that only 13% of people answer calls from out-of-state numbers, compared to 28% for local numbers.

● Geo-targeting capabilities.

● Not only can you call customers using local numbers, but they can also call you on those numbers.

● Increased callbacks mean more meetings and potential sales.
