Over 90% of calls marked as "spam likely" are ignored by consumers. If these were your outbound sales calls, it's time to check your caller ID reputation. More than ever, with the dynamic nature of caller ID reputations, you could be flagged as spam within a day's time despite having a spotless record the previous day. 

Why is this crucial? Your caller ID reputation isn't static; it shifts based on several factors including call complaints, call volume, call duration, and the accuracy of caller ID information. If you're not actively monitoring and adjusting your strategy accordingly, you could be missing out on significant business opportunities, let alone the adverse effects on your customer relationships. 

How do I check my Caller ID Reputation?

Checking your caller id reputation can become burdensome but there are some straight forward ways to do it yourself.

The easiest way is to just listen to your customers. Nothing beats the power of customer feedback. If customers complain about receiving calls from a "spam likely" number, it's time to investigate your caller ID reputation. You're lucky they even answered the phone! And again, keep in mind that your reputation is constantly changing so what one customer said yesterday may not hold true today.

The next best way is to simply engage a trusted colleague or boss to receive a call from your business. Schedule time once a week to call a trusted partner to check what your caller id is showing on their phone or landline. Keep in mind that every carrier has their own analytics to determine your reputation on their network so it's worth finding a few people on some of the most popular networks (like Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile) so you get a complete view into your reputation. It can be burdensome, but also effective.

The last way, and arguably the best way, is to leverage professional services. Owing to the complexity of managing a dynamic Caller ID reputation, it's often beneficial to partner with a professional service.
