24/7 Informational Mailboxes are great for hosting audio overviews
of products and services, office location and hours, testimonials, information in
multiple languages and any other way you can think to use it. You can choose whether
or not callers can leave a message after listening to your recording and with our
Extended Length Greeting feature, you can provide messages of great length, as opposed
to the minute or two normally offered in typical voicemail services. In addition,
callers can go from one extension to another for a full audio presentation on your
company's products and services.
You can receive Instant Message Alerts via E-Mail and Text Message
when prospects call to listen to your recordings. Moreover, callers can press 0
to speak with you directly at any time while listening to your recording if Call
Forwarding is turned on. This feature gives you the ability to speak to a hot, qualified
prospect immediately.
24/7 Informational Mailboxes are a great tool for Lead Generation.
You can, for example, spend a few minutes informing the caller about your product
or service and then give them the ability to leave a message with their contact
info for you to call them back. Here is an example of how this would work:
Premium Homes is a large home builder in California with numerous
communities throughout the state. They do major advertising, including setting up
signs at their new or coming soon community locations, to get people interested
in and excited about their communities that are soon to be developed. They prepare
an individual Message Taking Extension for each of their brand new communities to
capture leads for people interested in being the first to buy a lot in that specific
subdivision/community.
Their main greeting provides directions-
"Thank you for calling the Premium Homes 24/7 Information
Center. This Information Center is designed to provide you with the information
you need about the community you are interested in. At this time please enter the
Community Extension of the community you are interested in."
Their Message Taking Extension #2 for the Key West Preserves community
then says-
"Thank you for your interest in Premium Homes and our
new Key West Preserves community, an executive-class residence in an exclusive neighborhood.
Key West Preserves is an intimate neighborhood of just 105 homes, all with a high
level of finish, set amid lushly landscaped grounds and gardens. With our Key West
inspired architecture, coming home from work will seem like being on vacation. We
are offering 5 different style design plans ranging in size from 2,681 square feet
to 3,487 square feet. These homes feature media rooms, butler pantries, custom designed
wine cellars and opulent 5-piece bathrooms. The prestigious location is close to
all lifestyle amenities. Pricing is from the $600,000's. We are currently getting
ready to open our community for sales and will be releasing a limited amount of
home sites at pre-construction prices by appointment only. If you would like to
schedule an appointment to have an opportunity to purchase, please provide your
complete contact information when prompted. Please provide us with your name, phone
number, mailing address and e-mail address, if you wish to be contacted by e-mail.
Please speak clearly and spell out any unfamiliar words. One of our New Home Specialists
will contact you to schedule an appointment with you. Thank you again for your interest
in the Premium Homes Key West Preserves community!"
Because of the Unblockable Caller ID combined with Caller Name and
Address Lookup, you will always have the Name and Address, or at the very least
the phone number, of ALL callers even if they hang up. This maximizes your ability
to capture leads, as you will have the contact information for a caller even if
they do not leave their contact information for you!
Hint: To truly get the most out of this feature you can adjust
your Enhanced Call Forwarding for this type of extension so that the interested
prospect has the ability to press '0' at anytime to speak with you directly. This
allows you or your department to take a call personally from hot prospects while
their interest is piqued!
