Too Many Answering Machines When Cold Calling
My VA has been doing a lot of cold calling for me lately, however the result have been pretty terrible. He has only been able to reach about 10% of the numbers. The others were answering machines.
The sources of the numbers have been Yellow Page (scraped using a scraper), Superpages, Google (scraped using PlacesScout) and Yelp (as I have another scraper for that). In every, case more than 80% of the calls resulted in reaching only an answering machine or the number was invalid.
I have made some sales but I think I could have made much more. My VA uses Skype for the calling and when he reaches somebody, it shows up as an Unknown Number for the recipient. He is calling businesses located in the USA from outside of the USA. I was thinking that might be the reason why he is not able to reach so many of the numbers.
Have you experienced something like this? Do you know of a way to overcome this issue? I would greatly appreciate if someone experienced could give some piece of advice on it. Perhaps using a U.S. number for the calling could be of help but I am not aware of a service that would allow this.
Best regards,
Monthy
