What is Call Blocking
Create boundaries for your time and phone line.
Fed up with calls from salesmen who won’t accept “no” for an answer? Or customers and tyre-kickers who suck up your valuable time?
You’ll love our Call Blocking feature. Cut out unwanted calls to your business and get back time to serve your ideal customers. Block selected inbound calls to your virtual number from a range of sources.
Why use Call Blocking?
Restrict inappropriate sales people and nuisance customers.
Get back valuable time
Identify who’s calling and only answer from trusted sources. You can block pest callers who waste your time. And stop salespeople from harassing you and your staff.
Level up your customer service
Reduce transfers and call wait times by connecting callers to the right person quickly. Faster service means happier customers, and better efficiency means happier staff.
Restrictions by phone type
Because you don’t have to answer every call that comes in. Eliminate calls from a certain phone type to ensure the calls that you receive are qualified, so you can serve your top customers.
Who uses Call Blocking?
Reduce interruptions and focus on your priorities.
Zintel Customer Case Study
Business owner Alison was sick of getting unwanted calls. Three major service providers called her or her staff most days, even after she requested removal from their databases. It was stopping them from doing their jobs.
So Alison set up our Call Blocking service and restricted their numbers. The calls stopped immediately. It freed up her phone lines straight away. Now her staff can concentrate on doing their jobs. They can get back to selling Alison’s product – instead of being sold someone else’s.
