In this omnichannel world, brands have a myriad of options to accelerate sales. Social media platforms, SMS, and emails are some of the many creative alternatives that companies can make use of it. But, when it comes to pursuing leads over a voice channel in this internet-driven society, brands have started preferring cloud telephony technology or virtual phone systems. Be it cold-calling, inside sales, or customer support delivery, Business VoIP phone services are what companies have started banking on. 

The advent of virtual phone systems has transformed the call center operations in a short span of time.  These are calling systems that boast efficient and cost-effective solutions for telecommunications. Besides, it even helps companies optimize their customer service processes.

A virtual phone number is a boon for a customer-centric business with international clients. There are many companies with a multi-national presence i.e.; they have a client base spread across different parts of the world. In such a case, you can have the same virtual phone number assigned to different countries.

As per a survey, sales representatives spend only one-third of their day talking to their prospects. They spend 17% of their day in entering data, 17% in researching about the leads, and 12% in scheduling calls.

Let us understand these statistics with a scenario.

When it comes to placing calls to clients located in different countries, agents require selecting from which country’s virtual phone number they want to place the call. For example, you buy USA phone number. Now, you want to call a client in the US. When the agent inputs the client’s number he wants to call, he will have to select from which virtual number he will be calling – whether the US, UK, or Canada.

This process consumes about 3 seconds per call of an agent. Let’s consider that one agent makes around 50 calls a day. It sums up to 150 seconds = 2.5 minutes per agent in a day, and 75 minutes per month. Imagine you have 20 representatives. So, the total time spent by your team every month in just selecting from which number to call will be (75 x 20) = 1500 minutes = 25 hours. Don’t you think a lot of time is being wasted every month? Well, it is! 

So, why should you waste hours and hours selecting the number manually when it can be done automatically in no time?

Yes, it is possible! Your agents can free themselves from the hassles of selecting the number every time they place a call to your international clients with CallHippo’s Auto-Switch.
