Interactive Voice Response (IVR)

A small part of Direct Response Marketing!

What if you don’t have a sphere of influence or contact base. How would you get prospective clients and customers to call you! Here’s a great opportunity:

Interactive Voice Response "IVR" is a way to run small, inexpensive classified ads to get people to call you.

What is IVR? It is an automated toll free call response system that is available 24 hours a day for people to call and retrieve information - whether by voice recording or by fax download. There are numerous companies that supply IVR systems and most of them do the same thing or offer the same options. There is one company that stands out above the rest. That is AdTrakker... why? Because of their reporting systems, materials and notification systems are better and more complete than the others.

Why is IVR so effective? Think about this - you are a consumer for any service or product - what do you want first and foremost? Information! The key to this is that the consumer wants information WITHOUT being sold. Let's face it - real estate agents have a reputation that is even with used car salesmen - it's truly that bad. The public does not want to speak with you - they do not want to be sold. The want information - free, easy and on their own terms. That's where IVR comes into play. You can set up various recordings and information systems and the public can get that information 24 hours per day on their own terms. It is a non-intrusive system that will get you clients.

How do you get people to call your IVR system? Small, inexpensive 2-4 line classified ads. You offer services and information that they want and need. Free reports on buying or selling their home, automated email home search services, automated home evaluation services and many other options. All of these things will get people to call your IVR system and in turn get you names and numbers of prospective clients and customers.

Here's an example (in a lot of small papers this is a $10 - $15 ad):

BUYING A HOME?
Save thousands on your next home.
FREE report. 24 Hour automated information
1-800-555-1215 ID# 4526

Now, if you were in the market for a home - would you call? Absolutely. Why? Because it is FREE information that can save you thousands and it is an automated system where you do not have to speak with a salesperson!
