Improving customer service for a reseller with business phone numbers

4 mins read

The pandemic has brought about a complete transformation in people's shopping habits. Everything is now available at their fingertips. For instance, a wide range of cars is available today across cities across the globe via both online and offline channels. This has made the automobile industry the fourth-largest industry in the country.

Acefone partnered with a significant automobile reseller in 2021. They are an automobile reselling business that opened right before the pandemic. Their goal was to monetize the opportunity of car purchasing and selling through online stores. We helped them set up customer helplines and streamline their customer support process.

What were the client's requirements

Since the client had a largely untapped and vast potential customer base, they wanted to make a great first impression. They needed a communication system to allow them to interact with current and potential customers while adequately tracking all communication.

The team was new, which emphasized the need for a platform that was simple enough to understand. They needed a system to let the team access customer data quickly, attend calls, and handle interaction history.

Boosting brand recognition with virtual numbers

After understanding what the client required, we offered them a business phone number system with virtual numbers to help them enhance their customer services. We enabled them with advanced features such as call recording, call management suite, number masking, voicemail transcription, etc.

With our virtual numbers, they were able to set up support helplines for customers to call from anywhere in the country. Those numbers also made it easy for customers to recognise their brand, which ultimately created a good first impression in the market.
