Automated Calls – Appointment Schedules, Voter Calls and Alert Notification Systems
Automated Calls make customer contact simple and painless for both the business owner and the client. Medical offices and Salons use automated calls to manage appointment schedules. Utility companies and service providers like plumbers, electricians and other contractors use them for appointment verification as well.
Automated Calls are a great way to stay in touch with your customers. Most calls are a 30 to 45 second message with a short announcement including the information you want to communicate. You have the option to wait for someone to answer the call live, or you can leave a message on their voice mail or answering machine. Most companies and organizations add contact information to the call like a telephone number or a website address. And when someone picks up the phone live, you can also have the option of allowing the person to press a number on their phone to be transferred to a live operator to reschedule an appointment or to obtain more information.
Automated Calls - Appointment Schedules
Automated calls are a excellent way to help business owners who need to fill their day with appointments to maintain steady revenue. Doctors, Dentists and Nurse Practitioners use them to remind their clients of an upcoming appointment a few days or a week out. With the rush of life, it is not uncommon for clients to forget to notify you of changes in their schedule. This can lead to holes in your appointment schedule or you'll have to charge a late fee to the client which is frustrating for them and is much less revenue for you when you could have seen a live patient.
An automated call can help you avoid these problems. You simply deliver the call to someone live or on an answering machine. Live callers who want to change their appointment are given the option to press a button on their phone to be connected to a live operator who can schedule the new time. If you leave a message on an answering machine, you want to include a call-back number with a request for them to call if they cannot keep the original appointment.
Automated Calls – Voter Calls
Automated calls have become a standard method for voter contact. Candidates and public policy organizations use targeted lists to send messages to voters. This can be done in the normal course of the election cycle just like campaign commercials. But when you need to contact voters with urgent information, Innovative Data can deliver up-to-the-minute updates with a 24 hour turnaround (or less in many circumstances).
Automated Calls – Alert Notification Systems
Automated calls are used to alert people in the event of emergency or weather. Schools use automated calls to inform parents when weather causes school delays or cancellation. Emergency service organizations like Police Departments, Fire Departments and Hospitals use automated calls to inform the public often in a specific geographic area of potential danger when disaster strikes. And companies who handle hazardous materials use automated calls for the same purpose. Innovative Data is able to obtain lists for you based on geography to make these sorts of calls.
