Auto-Attendant & Call Routing

Professional IVR and call routing included in base plan - lets small businesses project enterprise professionalism and never miss a customer call

Likely Challenges

Reaching Local Business Owners

Local service businesses (HVAC, plumbing, daycares) are notoriously hard to reach - owners are busy, don't check LinkedIn, and ignore generic sales emails

Scaling Across Verticals

Each vertical (daycare vs HVAC vs plumbing) has different pain points and buying triggers - need tailored messaging for each segment to drive conversions

Form Fill vs Reply Handoff

Need to drive prospects to a form fill for clean handoff to sales reps - positive replies require more rep time and follow-up coordination

Data Quality for SMBs

Local business contact data is often outdated or incomplete - need robust enrichment and verification to reach actual decision-makers

Competing with "Good Enough"

Many local businesses still use personal cell phones or basic landlines - need to create urgency around professionalization and missed calls = missed revenue

Our Approach

For businesses with large TAM, there is no better growth engine than outbound. We approach this process not as a guessing game, but as a structured experiment in message-market-fit.

Every two weeks, we launch 4 to 8 campaigns — each one a unique combination of industry, segment, persona, value angle, and language framework. This lets us isolate what resonates and where.

If the contact list is small, we rotate personas to avoid message fatigue. If the list is large, we hold persona constant and rotate segments to uncover scalable patterns. Messaging angles and frameworks are always varied, allowing us to test strategic positioning at scale.

This system produces more than leads — it reveals what your market actually responds to. That means faster learning, sharper positioning, and a repeatable path to relevance.

AI Cold Outbound

Cold Email Infrastructure Setup

We could write the perfect email, but if it hits spam folders, game over. That's why we go heavy on infrastructure: 60 primary domains with 120 inboxes (split between Outlook and Gmail), plus 60 backup domains with another 120 inboxes for redundancy. We handle ESP matching, spam detection avoidance, domain reputation management, and all the technical stuff that keeps your emails landing where they're supposed to.

Lead Gathering and Automated Prospecting

We get creative with data sources. Sure, we can pull from ZoomInfo or Apollo, but we're also hitting industry-specific databases, scraping conference attendee lists, pulling from trade association directories, mining LinkedIn group members — whatever gets us the right people. Then we layer behavioral signals on top using tools like Apify, RB2B, and Ocean. Downloaded a competitor's case study? Visited your pricing page? Engaged with industry content? All of that intent data gets combined with our lists to create dynamic prospect pools that update based on actual buying behavior.

Campaign Design & Copywriting

We use everything — boilerplate templates, custom messaging, industry-specific angles, persona-based copy, you name it. Then we test all of it against the signals data we're collecting. Maybe a proven template works best for recent funding signals, but custom copy converts better for job change triggers. We're constantly running these combinations through A/B tests to see what actually drives conversations. It's not about one approach — it's about knowing which approach works for which signal.

Nextiva-Specific Ideas

An Example of Creative Outbound Strategies Tailored to Your Business

Campaign 1: HVAC Companies - Missed Call Recovery

Target HVAC companies during peak seasons when missed calls directly translate to lost revenue

Target: HVAC company owners with 50+ Google reviews, 5-20 employees
Signal: Hiring technicians, expanding service areas, seasonal demand spikes
Channel: Cold Email
Subject: {{first_name}} - quick question about missed calls

{{first_name}}—when your techs are on a rooftop fixing an AC unit, who's answering calls from new customers?

Most HVAC companies we talk to lose 3-5 jobs per week to voicemail. We helped {{similar_hvac}} route calls to available team members automatically—they added $8K/month in jobs they used to miss.

Worth a quick look?

Follow-up Sequence:
  • Day 3: Thread reply—'Also includes a mobile app so techs can see who's calling before they answer—no more "which job site is this?"'
  • Day 7: New thread—'Quick math: if you're missing 4 calls/week at $500 avg ticket, that's $8K/month. Free phone hardware might make sense to look at.'
  • Day 12: Soft break-up—'Timing might be off. Should I check back before summer rush?'

Campaign 2: Plumbing Companies - Emergency Call Routing

Plumbers offering 24/7 service but still using personal cell phones for after-hours calls

Target: Plumbing company owners advertising 24/7 emergency service
Signal: Website mentions "24/7" or "emergency," Google ads for emergency plumbing
Channel: Cold Email
Subject: 2am emergency calls

{{first_name}}—saw you offer 24/7 emergency plumbing. Does that mean someone's personal cell rings at 2am?

We set up {{similar_plumber}} with after-hours routing—emergency calls go to the on-call tech, everything else hits voicemail with a professional greeting. Plus free desk phones for the office.

How are you handling overnight calls now?

Follow-up Sequence:
  • Day 3: Thread reply—'Forgot to mention—also does SMS to customers so you can text "on my way" without giving out personal numbers'
  • Day 7: New thread—'Most plumbers we talk to are paying $200+/month for basic phone service. We usually cut that by 60%. Worth comparing?'
  • Day 12: Soft break-up—'No worries if timing is off—should I check back in a few months?'

Campaign 3: Daycare Centers - Parent Communication

Licensed childcare centers where professional communication builds trust with anxious parents

Target: Daycare owners/directors at licensed centers with 30+ enrolled children
Signal: Expanding capacity, opening waitlists, positive Google reviews mentioning communication
Channel: Cold Email
Subject: enrollment calls vs. parent check-ins

{{first_name}}—parents calling about enrollment shouldn't get the same experience as current families checking on their kids.

We helped {{similar_daycare}} set up separate lines—new parents hear enrollment info, current families reach classrooms directly. Makes a huge impression during tours.

How are you handling that split today?

Follow-up Sequence:
  • Day 3: Thread reply—'Also does text alerts—perfect for "early pickup today" or weather closures without playing phone tag'
  • Day 7: New thread—'Most daycares we work with convert 20% more tours when parents get that professional first impression. Form fill to learn more?'
  • Day 12: Soft break-up—'Might not be the right time—should I reach back out before enrollment season?'

Campaign 4: Auto Repair Shops - Service Advisor Efficiency

Auto shops juggling walk-ins, phone calls, and techs in the bay need call routing to free up staff

Target: Auto repair shop owners with 3+ employees, growing customer base
Signal: Hiring mechanics, expanding bays, recent Google reviews mentioning wait times
Channel: Cold Email
Subject: when the phone rings mid-repair

{{first_name}}—when a customer calls about their car while your service advisor is explaining a repair to someone at the counter, what happens?

We helped {{similar_shop}} route overflow calls to a second advisor or take messages automatically. They stopped losing customers who couldn't get through.

Quick question—how many lines are you running today?

Follow-up Sequence:
  • Day 3: Thread reply—'Also texts customers when their car is ready—no more phone tag about pickup times'
  • Day 7: New thread—'Free desk phones might make sense if you're due for a hardware refresh. Quick form to see pricing?'
  • Day 12: Soft break-up—'Timing might be off. Mind if I check back in a few months?'

Campaign 5: Dental Offices - Patient Communication

Dental practices losing patients to poor phone experiences and missed appointment reminders

Target: Dental practice owners/office managers with 2+ hygienists
Signal: Google reviews mentioning wait times, hiring hygienists, expanding hours
Channel: Cold Email
Subject: {{first_name}} - patient no-shows

{{first_name}}—when a patient calls to reschedule their cleaning while your front desk is checking someone out, what happens to that call?

We helped {{similar_practice}} set up automatic routing so patients always reach someone, plus text reminders that cut no-shows by 30%.

Are you still using a traditional phone system?

Follow-up Sequence:
  • Day 3: Thread reply—'Forgot to mention—automated appointment reminders via text. Most practices see no-shows drop 25-30%'
  • Day 7: New thread—'Free phone hardware promo running now—might make sense if your system is more than 5 years old. Worth a quick comparison?'
  • Day 12: Soft break-up—'Timing might be off. Should I check back in a quarter?'

Highline

Bill Pay & Financial Wellness Platform

Challenge

Highline needed to reach HR decision-makers and benefits administrators at mid-market companies to pitch their bill pay benefit. The challenge was breaking through the noise in a crowded employee benefits market where buyers are constantly bombarded by vendors.

Solution

We created highly segmented campaigns based on company signals—recent benefits announcements, open enrollment timing, and HR leadership changes. Our "poke the bear" approach asked questions about current employee financial wellness programs before pitching, resulting in significantly higher engagement.
