The day my team at a previous company started using local presence dialing was the day our numbers turned around for good. Before that, the caller ID displayed an 800 number to prospects. The connection rate was terrible. Prospects would assume that an 800 number meant a telemarketer was calling, and ignore us. Once we […]

The Importance of Local Caller ID When our phones ring and we see a toll-free number or unfamiliar area code, the first thought we all have is it an unwanted sales call. That’s why calls from local phone numbers tend to have much higher answer and conversion rates. In fact, studies have found that people […]

As virtually every sales rep knows, Local Presence Dialing is a game-changer for outbound inside sales teams. Without localized caller ID, it can be tough to get prospects to pick up their phones. But with it, dialing from local numbers can lift call connection rates by up to 400%. But we here at RingDNA have never been easily satisfied, and our product […]

Are your reps having trouble connecting with prospects? Are they having to dial over a hundred prospects to have a single meaningful conversation? If so, your sales technology stack just might not be cutting it. A lot of sales managers set strict dialing quotas. Sometimes reps need to dial 70 prospects daily. Often it’s even more. In […]

Local presence has always been one of our customers’ favorite features of our Intelligent Dialer for Salesforce. It’s easy to see why. With Local Presence, SDRs can connect with up to 400% more prospects by automatically ensuring that a local number appears in their caller ID screen. But until now, dynamic Local Presence has only been available […]

When sales reps are skilled at selling and targeting the right prospects, having more conversations almost always powers pipeline and revenue growth. But that doesn’t necessarily mean you need to go hire a lot of sales reps. The reps you have can do far better with the right tools and strategy. According to TOPO’s Sales Development Technology Report, that […]

Are you still waiting around for all your leads to find you? If so, you may be making a grave mistake. Because most purchases aren’t planned. Your best leads aren’t necessarily going to find you. And without a fully equipped outbound prospecting team, you could be leaving thousands of dollars in potential revenue on the table. Not […]

Bad news: outbound reach rates are at an all-time low. According to research from TOPO, it now takes 18 or more dials to connect with a prospect over the phone, and call-back rates are below 1%. It’s not difficult to see why. When the phone rings and you see a number you don’t recognize, you probably let it go […]

I can’t count the times that I’ve heard our customers raving about Local Presence. Local Presence dialing, a feature of our Intelligent Dialer for Salesforce, makes it seem as though calls are coming from local numbers even when they aren’t. By turning on Local Presence, prospects automatically see a local area number in their Caller […]

New data from the Bridge Group reveals that while the average number of dials that sales development reps (SDRs) make has remained constant since 2007 (52 dials per day), the number of conversations that those dials yield is dipping (down to just 7 conversations per day for outbound prospectors). Even more interestingly, the same study shows […]

Choosing an inside sales acceleration software provider can be one of the most important decisions that you make. There are a lot of concerns to address when evaluating solutions. How well will the software integrate with your CRM? How does it make more productive? Will it give your inside sales managers the insight and predictive analytics they […]

As salespeople, we all want opportunities with zero competitors. But today’s buyers are savvier than ever, and often research the landscape prior to making a buying decision. As such, all salespeople should be prepared to go head-to-head with the competition. I’ve found that the best sales reps aren’t deterred by a prospect mentioning the competition. […]
