How Toll-free Number with IVR can be used in Real Estate Business.

A toll-free number is a well-known communication technology in the service industry. We visualize a call center or service center when we heard the word toll-free number.

Now here is the main question? Can toll-free numbers be used in manufacturing or other industries?

The answer is Yes. So, in this article, we will discuss how the Real Estate industry can use a Toll-Free number.

First, we need to know the basics of Toll-Free number and IVR

Toll-Free Number - A toll-free number is a simple number just like the traditional landline number and its working mechanism is also the same. Tollfree numbers only differ in their costing/charging system. These numbers charged the calling party to make calls absolutely free of cost. But, the host of the toll-free number needs to pay for the incoming call charges.

IVR - IVR (Intuitively Voice Reaction) may be a communication menu framework that can be utilized for welcoming the callers with a customized welcome voice message. Encourage, it can be utilized for recognizing, sectioning, and directing the callers to the fitting operators or offices inside the association

1. Basic Information inquiry - Toll-free numbers can be used by the real estate company to share the basic inquiry of customers through automation. Let’s take an example. Let, ABC is a renowned real estate company whose multiple projects are going on in a city. ABC company uses a toll-free number. So, they don’t need to arrange different numbers for different project locations. A customer can easily call on that number. The IVR voice response will guide him/her like “Press 1 for Location “A”, Press 2 for Location “B”. If the customer is interested in location A then he/she will press 1. After that, the IVR can provide basic details like price, availability, locations, amenities, etc. So, there are zero requirements for human interference.
2. Opening Project Site 24/7 through Tollfree technology – Generally a customer decides or searches for his/her dream home or dream property in his/her leisure time. But generally, a real estate office is open on the weekdays and in for a specific time like 10 AM to 8 PM. So sometimes the customer or the prospect can’t able to contact the real estate company beyond the office hour. The problem can be solved by a toll-free number with the IVR facility. A prospect can call at any time according to his/her convenient time. So the real estate company will never miss a lead due to officially close down.
3. Booking Appointment – Site Visit is an important customer & seller encounter where the purchasing decision takes place. It's hard for the representative to show the property to different clients at the same time. In that case, prospects miss the personal attention from the representative of the real estate company. So it is better for the real estate company and the prospect to have or appoint a specific time of site visit for a specific prospect. Toll-free numbers with IVR can organize an appointment mechanism where prospects can book their appointment through call.
4. Pickup and drop Schedule – Some real estate provides pickup and drops services for clients who want to visit their project site. Same as booking appointment callers can set the destination and time of pick up and drop at any time. So, human interference is not required at all for administrative jobs.

Advantages of toll-free number in Real Estate industry

1. Ease in Operation – Tollfree number can ease customer acquisition and administrative work.
2. Brand Image – A intelligent toll-free number with IVR technology impresses the prospects and makes a good brand image in the prospect's mind.
3. Easy to reach dealer – For the prospects, it is easy to reach the real estate company if the company has a toll-free number. Prospects don’t have to remember or find out a specific number for a specific project location.
4. Easy to increase national Presence – Due to a toll-free number a real estate can get customers beyond the local boundary location. It increases the market presence of the real estate company.

So, it can be said that a toll-free number is applicable in any of the industry rather than the customer service industry.
