Aflac Turns to One Call Now to Put Punch in Sales Communications

TROY, Ohio - May 8, 2014 - PRLog -- Overcrowded email boxes have not stopped Aflac (http://www.aflac.com/) from getting important messages out to the sales force in their Northeast Territory. Keeping the sales team cohesive and focused during sales power weeks is a responsibility that falls to Matt Morrissey. When Morrissey realized that email communications no longer delivered the desired punch, he wasted no time seeking an alternative.

Morrissey looked to innovative technology to keep the communications flowing. His decision to try an automated messaging service quickly put his communications front and center with his sales force.

It’s working. Now the sales people are getting important, time-sensitive information and are responding with positive feedback. Determining who received the messages, who didn’t and why, is no longer a guessing game for Morrissey. His message notification service, One Call Now (http://www.onecallnow.com), provides him with reports that confirm all the contact details.

“It’s very convenient, easy to use and costs are reasonable,” commented Morrissey. “We’re getting a lot of mileage out of it.”

With more than 70,000 licensed agents, insuring more than 50 million people worldwide, implementing efficient lines of communication is a must for Aflac.
