One of the main arguments for having a phone number on your website, and for your business on the whole, is that it helps to build trust with your audience. It tells them there’s a person behind the brand they can get in touch with to discuss concerns or queries.
When you build trust with your audience, you’re making it easier for them to feel comfortable buying from you.
Two-thirds of customers will switch providers if they experience poor customer service. Customers can have bad experiences if they can’t get hold of you, or find a way to contact you. Telephone numbers allow instant access between you, your customer service team, and them. Therefore, issues with orders or queries can be quickly discovered and resolved.
Better customer service leads to more frequent sales and higher transactional values.
Some customers are distrustful of online communication channels like social media, online chat and email. After all, there are always stories in the news about insecure digital channels. Therefore, some customers will only consider calling you via your phone.
Your telephone number should always be available for those who don’t want to use their computers to contact you.
Online communication methods have no emotion. Online chats, email and social media are just text on a screen and offer no personalisation. But when someone is speaking to you on a phone, you can hear the emotion of your customer and they can hear your emotion.
If your employees appear passionate about your products/services, it will help them sell your products.
