Discover a creative customer retention marketing strategy specifically designed for the HVAC industry that improves profitability, reaches more customers and generates lasting success!
HVAC companies can use automated phone calls in addition to email reminders to generate more service appointments with existing customers.
Automated phone calls can be a more effective way of reaching customers because they are less likely to be ignored or forgotten, unlike emails that may be overlooked or end up in a spam or promotions folder.
Below is a summary of a sample HVAC voice broadcasting campaign to 500 customers that generated 30 service appointments all for under $150.
The Called ID is the main phone number of the HVAC company. This is the phone number that will be displayed on your customer's phone. In many cases, your company name will be displayed as well.
There are 2 recordings that are needed for this type of automated calling campaign. The 'Human Answer' recording and the 'Machine Answer' recording. The quality of the recordings can make a big difference. Please contact us for recommendations.
Human Answer Recording
"Hello, this is [COMPANY] calling to schedule your seasonal service maintenance. Press 1 to connect to our office now to schedule your appointment. If you'd like to be removed from future calls, press 9 now. Thank you for your business."
Machine Answer Recording
"Hello, this is [COMPANY] calling to schedule your seasonal service maintenance. Please call our office at [PHONE NUMBER] to schedule your appointment. Thank you for your business."
Groups are your list of existing customers. Each record can contain first name, last name and phone number.
Our system maintains a list of phone numbers that have opted out of automated calling communication.
You'll specify the date and time to send your calls along with the Caller ID, Recordings and Groups. Your Groups are automatically deduped and scrubbed against your Call Block List.
The Call Detail Report shows the result of each phone call which includes the date, time, call duration, and call disposition like Human Answer, Machine Answer or No Answer.
