What is local presence dialing?

Local presence means calling each prospect from a number in or near their own area code, so the call shows up as local on their phone. Unknown numbers get screened hard, and a familiar area code removes one reason to ignore the call.

Prospects are more likely to pick up a call from their own area code, so local presence earns more pickups. It works best when every number is healthy, registered in your company's name and not overused, and Personnect looks after that automatically.

The full explainer: what is local presence dialing.

Coverage: the numbers your list needs

Before you buy anything, Personnect looks at where the contacts on your list are and shows which area codes you need, area code by area code. You rent the numbers that matter, from $1 a month each, instead of guessing or buying a number in every state.

The right number on every call

On every call Personnect picks the closest local number you have for that contact and spreads calls evenly across your numbers, so no single number is overused. You can also set the number yourself.

Local presence without burning numbers

Local numbers only help while they are clean. Every Personnect number is registered in your company's name with Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile, eased in before full volume and watched automatically, and flagged numbers are rested until they're clean. Here is how number health works, and what sales teams get wrong about local presence.

What it costs

Local numbers start at $1 a month each, and calls are 8.5¢ per answered minute. Calls that ring out or are busy cost nothing, users are unlimited, and there is no contract. See the full pricing.
