Make A Sale Using Reverse Phone Numbers

By Sly Chin


The Internet keeps coming up with applications that we can use to enhance our daily lives. Reverse phone number directories make it possible for a user to invert a called digit and find out who owns it. Their use has become widespread in the past few years and can be used in a home or in a company.This service is able to reverse dialed numbers from mobile phones, unlisted numbers and cable lines.

This service can be found exclusively on the Internet. A missed called on the caller id should be checked. This is because accidents and emergencies happen and a friend or loved one may be calling from a different line. So the individual enters the digits as portrayed by the caller id and gets a compiled list of the phone number and the corresponding individual or business affiliated with the line. Checking on mobile numbers may prove difficult and most reverse number services require a fee to provide the caller information.

People are constantly changing phone numbers and these are given to new clients of a carrier. It is therefore necessary for the individual wishing to call to make sure they always have updated contact information for their friends and loved ones. This can be done by writing e-mails or social networking asking if the contact information one has is still the same.

Sometimes, businesses advertise jobs and only post the company's direct line. If one did not get the name of the company or wants to research it prior to an interview, they can reverse the call and see the name of the company, what they are about and then deduce if the company is one they would like to work for.

Businesses that do cold selling can be much warmer if they can use an individuals name rather than official salutations. They can research on potential clients using the reverse phone number feature. The customer may think they know the business and give the sales person a chance to sell their products and services.

Are reverse phone number services safe? A lot of controversy surrounds this service due to its inability to safeguard users information. Placing a call to a digit that has been transferred to someone else can expose one's personal information. One can only hope that the person on the other end is respectable and will delete the number off their caller id.

Individuals have complained to government officials about telemarketers invading their privacy and calling them despite expressing anger about it. There is a list called the Do Not Call Registry that protects registered individuals from telemarketers and sales people. Any of these businesses can be seized by the government if their workers make prohibited calls to people on the list. The enforcement officials can use the reverse phone number website to capture the wrong doers.

Reverse phone numbers can be useful to people and organizations in their day to day activities. It is advised however that one ensures they have the right digits they intend to dial because numbers showing up on caller ids may be used by scam artists to make demands or by marketeers to advertise their businesses.
