Integrating automated Outbound Phone calls into your signup forms - with VoiceShotDawn Rossi, September 25, 2008 |
Looking to increase your conversion rates and automate your sales cycle?
Imagine this -
New prospect visits your website and fills up a "more info" form. 10 minutes later the prospect receives an automated phone call with information about your offer and a strong call to action.
Or how about -
You're releasing a new product. All currently registered customers and leads receive an automated phone call with information about where they can purchase the new product.
These days, integrating automated outbound phone calls can be done in less than an hour, paying pennies on the dollar for delivery.
We've tested a few different companies and like VoiceShot the best. VoiceShot charges $0.12 per successful call and offers a simple API to create outbound campaigns, SMS broadcasts and text to speech phone alerts (i.e. "Website is down", "Your package is scheduled for delivery on Monday").
Setup is a snap.
Step 1:
Signup for an account with VoiceShot at http://www.voiceshot.com
Step 2:
Login to your VoiceShot account and follow the instructions to record a voice message for your new campaign.
Record the unique Menu-ID that identifies your campaign
Step 3:
Identify the point-in-time you'd like to initiate the outbound phone calls. For example - on your signup forms.
Then issue a single curl call to VoiceShot with this xml:
Set the menuid to your campaign unique Menu-ID from the VoiceShot system and set the phone number to the number submitted by the lead.
The response from VoiceShot will look like this:
