Koncert has a turnkey integration with Twilio, a popular outbound Caller ID resource. This integration allows Koncert users to purchase verified local phone numbers (Caller IDs) directly from Twilio, specifically for the area codes in the United States and Canada. Once purchased, these numbers are immediately added to your existing Caller IDs list and can be used for making outbound calls to prospects.
Why purchasing Local Caller IDs from Twilio is recommended?
- Increase Pick-up Rates with Local Presence Dialing
When prospects receive calls from unfamiliar area codes, they are more likely to perceive the call as a scam or fraudulent. This skepticism often results in a lower pick-up rate.
By purchasing local Caller IDs through Twilio, sales teams can use phone numbers that match the prospect's local area code. This local presence dialing feature increases the likelihood of prospects answering your calls. A call from a local number feels more familiar and trustworthy, leading to a higher engagement rate.
- Eliminate the Risk of Flagged Calls
Caller IDs that originate from out-of-state or unfamiliar area codes are at a higher risk of being flagged as spam or fraudulent calls by telecommunications providers or consumer protection agencies. Koncert’s integration with Twilio mitigates this risk by ensuring that the Caller IDs you use are less likely to be flagged.
- Affordable Pricing
You can purchase local Caller IDs for as little as $1.00 per Caller ID per month. This affordable pricing makes it easy to maintain a broad set of area codes to enhance your dialing campaigns and improve your outreach.
Enabling the Caller IDs Tab
There are no specific settings required to enable this feature within Koncert. The Caller IDs tab is enabled by default for your organization. You can access it from the Koncert portal to purchase and manage your Caller IDs.
NOTE: If you have not purchased or mapped any Caller IDs for the selected area codes, Koncert will display an alert message in the portal, indicating that calls will not be established. This is to notify you that, without the necessary Caller IDs, outbound calls cannot be made.
