Nationwide presence

Customer experience

Telemarketing numbers can provide you with a national look and feel, allowing you to position your business to a much wider customer base.

With a telemarketing number you are accessible to customers all over the country - you are never limited by your geographic location.

The customer experience you provide influences your customers’ decisions. A telemarketing number can enhance your customers’ perception of your business - research has shown that companies with telemarketing numbers appear substantial, professional and trustworthy. It can also act as a powerful market research tool, allowing you to communicate with your customers, while steadily building customer profiles for future planning.

Efficient

Cost-effective

Effective handling of your customers’ calls will reduce time and costs and help increase revenue. A telemarketing number can help you to manage your calls as efficiently as possible, ensuring that the call is answered by the person best suited to deal with the enquiry. This helps to match the customer experience delivered with what your customers expect.

At a time when cost is a key consideration for everyone, business and consumers alike, telemarketing numbers are a cost-effective way to interact with your customers, both for you and your callers. Telemarketing numbers reduce the cost barrier for your customers to get in touch with you, resulting in increased sales opportunities for your business. Choose from a range of call types to suit your needs; from 1800, where you pick up the full cost of the call, to 1850 or 1890, where the cost is shared between both you and your caller.

0818 services are also available on request.

Telemarketing Services at a glance 1800-Freefone - The call is free to the caller regardless of whether they ring from a landline or from a mobile. The cost of the call is borne completely by the business providing the number. The cost of calls from mobiles is particularly high so this would not be recommended for businesses with a calling profile of mainly mobile.

Business use - Primarily used for sales generation activity where the business is happy to incur the full cost of the call in order to generate new business.

1850-Shared Cost - The cost of the call is shared between the caller and the business providing the number. The caller pays a flat per call charge and the receiver pays for the call duration after an initial free seconds allowance has elapsed. Calls from mobiles are again charged at a higher rate than fixed line calls.

Business use - Sometimes used for sales generation activity but often as a mechanism for existing customers to contact a business, for example, to renew a policy. The caller pays a flat charge, regardless of duration, and the business picks up the rest. For long duration calls this call type can be very attractive for callers and can promote customer interaction.

1890-Locall - The cost to the caller is the same as a local call. The receiver is charged per call, regardless of duration. This is attractive for businesses with a high average call duration as they only incur a flat cost per call from fixed lines. Calls from mobiles still attract a cent per minute charge, however, it is lower than the charge to 1800 or 1850.

Business use - Often used for long call duration services such as technical support lines.
