DID Reputation, short for “Direct Inward Dialing Reputation,” is an essential component for call centers. It measures how credible a particular number is when it’s making outbound calls to customers, clients or prospects. Making sure that the numbers you dial with are ‘clean’ helps boost your contact rates, and keep your agents talking for longer. Modern predictive dialing software often comes with a reputation monitoring tool already integrated. This makes it easy to prevent your outbound numbers from appearing as Spam or Scam Likely.

A phone number with a strong reputation is more likely to be answered it they trust the source of the call.
