Business leaders know reputation drives performance. It builds trust, fosters customer loyalty, and creates an edge. Yet, many overlook how phone numbers factor into the equation.
More than 80% of customers engage with businesses by phone, making your numbers a cornerstone of your reputation. With spam calls so widespread, protecting that reputation isn’t easy.
“Spam” labels hit legitimate businesses more often than you think. It doesn’t just make customers skip a call now and then — it can shake their confidence for good.
These incidents are serious but not hopeless. Powerful solutions exist to protect your phone numbers and, in turn, your business’s reputation. Here is what you need to know.
Carrier algorithms flag spam or scam calls to protect customers, but they can misfire. Nearly one in four legitimate calls risks being mislabeled, and it’s probably happening to you without you knowing.
It goes without saying — customers won’t answer calls with those labels.
Even without a spam label, calling customers without a caller ID means missing a key chance to build a trusted reputation. If your name isn’t linked to your numbers, more than eight in ten Americans won’t pick up.
Getting out of the phone number game isn’t the answer. Customers crave human interaction, making the humble phone call your most powerful outreach tool.
