Safeguard Your Brand: Why AFFIRM Reputation Monitoring is Essential

Maintaining a brand’s integrity and ensuring effective customer communication is paramount for success in today’s mobile-centric world. Every outbound business call must be received with the trust it deserves. This is where First Orion’s AFFIRM™ Reputation Monitoring becomes an indispensable tool, offering businesses proactive control over their calling reputation.

The Critical Need for Call Reputation Management

A phone call provides a direct, personal connection with your customer. Unfortunately, “spam” or “scam” tags instantly break that trust.

The stakes are high. Businesses recognize the importance of knowing when carriers incorrectly label their legitimate calls. A negative tag not only means your call goes unanswered, but it also damages your brand’s reputation with every phone screen it appears on.

AFFIRM tackles this problem. It monitors your outbound call displays on mobile phones, keeps you informed on labeling, and quickly alerts you to spam or scam tags.

How AFFIRM Delivers Actionable Insights

AFFIRM works through a straightforward, effective process, monitoring calling number performance across all three major U.S. mobile networks.

1. Initiate Calls:Your business makes calls to unique First Orion phone numbers across the major mobile carriers.
2. Collect Data:First Orion collects and analyzes the raw call display data.
3. Deliver Alerts: The system delivers the call display data to your Customer Portal and alerts your business of any spam or scam tags via the portal and email notifications.

This feature set offers unparalleled accessibility to a single platform to register and manage phone numbers, providing continuous, call labeling, and spam/scam tag activity. You stop guessing how your calls appear to customers and gain actionable, real-time insights.

AFFIRM’s Reporting

With AFFIRM’s detailed reports and user-friendly dashboard, businesses can take necessary action to alter calling practices and appeal tagging decisions made by analytic engines. These actions can in turn:

• Improve Customer Contact Rates:You significantly reduce the risk of your legitimate calls being unanswered, enhancing overall customer engagement and sales opportunities.
• Increase Agent Productivity:Clear communication channels and higher answer rates lead to more efficient outcomes, ensuring your calling agents focus on successful conversations instead of wasted attempts.

One debt relief company, Pacific Debt Relief, reported using AFFIRM to address spam labeling and consequently saw a dramatic increase in daily business by 20-30%, demonstrating the powerful, positive impact on key performance indicators.

Who Needs AFFIRM? Industries That Benefit Most

Any business with large sales, support, or collections teams will benefit, but AFFIRM proves particularly crucial for industries with high outbound call volumes, high-stakes customer interactions, or sensitive data. These sectors cannot afford communication failure.

• Financial Services: Banks and investment firms ensure security alerts and critical updates get through, protecting customers from fraud.
• Healthcare: Hospitals and clinics improve patient engagement by ensuring important appointment reminders and health-related calls are answered.
• Insurance: Companies increase answer rates for policy renewals and claims updates, building trust with policyholders.
• Retail: Retailers reduce missed sales opportunities that often result from customers declining unrecognized numbers.

Whether it’s the high call volume making a company susceptible to spam labeling, the high-stakes communication where a failed call has significant consequences, or the paramount need for reputation sensitivity to prevent malicious spoofing, AFFIRM provides the necessary tool to proactively manage call display reputation.
