Have your outbound cold call numbers been flagged as spam?
So, I use BatchLeads to send SMS and they will show you which numbers have been flagged as spam so you can order new numbers regularly. I use Xencall as my dialer and they don't seem to have the feature. I emailed them (Xencall) to ask about it and they suggested using 411.com reverse phone search. At first I was like, OK, no problem. I would diligently plug in all of my numbers one by one regularly each week to see the numbers labeled as "low spam risk". For reference, I put in both my personal number and my Google Voice number and both were also labeled as "low spam risk", so I assumed that was the baseline.
Fast forward 3 months, and I thought I was doing pretty well as far as my VAs and their professionalism and not getting flagged as Spam. However, just this morning, I decided "what the heck" I'm going to use Xencall to call my own phone, both personal number and GV number. Low and behold, my outbound call bank of numbers were coming up as "suspected spam". Who knows how long its been like this. I could have potentially been wasting thousands of records, not to mention the thousands of dollars in salaries of the VAs wasted on dialing numbers using spam-flagged numbers.
I've searched the web for a method for regularly checking my numbers and so far haven't come up with much. Being a virtual wholesaler/flipper I already spend quite a bit of money on different services (Dialer, Website, Lists App, County Lists, Call Tracking, CRM, Docusign, Social Media Manager, Data Organizer, Quickbooks....it just goes on and on.) Point being, I'd love to find a free service if possible, but if I MUST, I'll bite the bullet and get yet another service considering that could essentially cripple my business.
So....any of you knowledgeable BP'ers out there know of ways to be able to consistently and accurately check whether your outbound phone number bank has been flagged as spam?
Your input would be greatly appreciated.
