Mobiles & Cells

On average, cold call connect rates for mobile numbers are 10%. (To my US peeps, mobile numbers are what we call cells in the UK).

But connect rates to direct or office lines are below 5%.

This is according to data by Koncert analysing millions of cold calls.

The problem with mobile numbers though is you'll hear the objection:

"Where did you get my number?"

The best response?

Be 100% honest and transparent.

"I got your number from Apollo, which is our data tool. There's a form to ensure you're removed from their database. Want me to send it to you?"

Normally they're grateful and then hear out your reason for calling. Of course, there are a few angry ones that hang up. That’s life.

But the majority of people appreciate the honesty.

They also appreciate you offering a way to help that doesn't involve buying your product.
