Know Who Is Calling You with Whisper Gold

May 24, 2011 - PRLog -- Telford, Shropshire, UK: “If you have a non-geographic or local number with us then it will be ‘pointed’ at an existing landline or mobile telephone number” explains Richie Williams of Gold 0800 Numbers. “People usually have these numbers for businesses, but when their phone rings, they don’t know if it is someone calling their 0800, 0845 or 0844 number, or if it is someone calling their actual landline or mobile phone number. Which number people are calling greatly effects how you answer the phone. So, for example, if you knew it was someone calling your original home landline or mobile, you would probably just answer the call with a simple ‘hello’. However, if you knew it was someone calling the 0800 number for your business, you would probably answer with something like “Good morning/afternoon, (name of company), (your name) speaking, how can I help you?”

“Another problem might be that you have more than one business, or a business with different branches or different area locations, but all of the different numbers that you have set up for the different businesses all point to the same mobile or landline. If you don’t know who the person on the end of the phone is calling, and they start asking you questions about your company, you can’t look up and ask ‘which company are you calling?!’”

“For example, if you had a company that was operating in three different towns, and to make it appear local you had three different phone numbers, each with the local area code for that town, but all pointing to the same phone, and someone phoned you and asked how long you would take to get to them, you couldn’t easily ask them where it was they thought you were!”

“Basically, every situation is different, but there are lots of potential scenarios where you might need to have a head’s up as to who someone is intending to phone”.

Gold Numbers therefore offers an additional extra feature which you can add to your numbers for £5 + VAT set up, and then £5 + VAT rental per month called “Whisper Gold”. This is a function whereby when you receive a phone call, you will get a message whispered into your ear saying what you want it to say for each number. So, for example, if you had two businesses, one being ABC and the other being XYZ, and someone called the number for ABC then you could have a whisper saying “Call for ABC”.  You can have any message you want, and the person making the call will not hear the whisper.
