What is caller ID and how does it work?

Caller ID displays the name and number of an incoming/outgoing call. Inbound caller ID uses online databases to retrieve caller information and display it on your screen. Phone carriers use Calling NAMes (CNAMs) to identify and display the names of inbound callers. With Freshcaller, you can choose and buy easy-to-remember phone numbers that will help your customers identify you easily.

Why use Caller ID for your business

 

Know your customers before you pick up their call

Instantly identify callers on incoming calls, and help agents view caller-related information even before they pick up the call. Agents can view the customer's name, email address, the company they work at, and their complete interaction history, no matter which device they’re on (laptop/tablet/phone). With Freshcaller inbound caller ID, help your agents gather the important context of your customers’ problems so that agents can jump right into solving their problems.

 

 

 

 

Improve brand recognition with outgoing Caller ID

With Freshcaller outbound caller ID, no matter which number your agents are calling from, your customers will always see your business phone number. Make your business easily identified when you call your customers. It will make them more likely to pick your calls as they’ll know that it’s from a reliable business. You can also improve brand recognition by using vanity numbers as your outbound caller ID.

 

 

 

 

Provide a personalized customer experience

Even the little things matter when it comes to providing amazing customer service. With prior information about your callers, agents can surprise them with a personalized greeting, go through call notes and pick up right where they left off without feeling lost. Enable your agents with Freshcaller inbound and outbound caller ID so that they can create happy customers!
