I am taking the plunge to get a lead generation web site. I am curious for this and other lead generation efforts (direct mail, driving 4 dollars, etc.) do I use a Google Voice for the call back number or should I use my home/office phone (it gets tons of telemarketer calls already), or use the cell phone I carry all the time or should I get a 2nd cell and leave my existing for personal use?
I have read letting return calls go to voice mail will lose some potential customers but then I see many people use voice mail.
Just use Google Voice. It's free and if you use it only for real estate, you know that pretty much every call coming in on that number will be real estate related.
Bottom line is calling them back is more important than which number to call them back from...
That said and we use very specific numbers for our marketing and communication with our prospects.
For me it is important to know which pieces are working and have the illusion of a local presents in the market. Knowing where you business comes from is paramount.
On our website we use a tool free vanity number and each of our marketing pieces use a local number assigned to the campaign.
I use calltext for all of our phones,text, email and CRM.
