Appendix
Glossary:  Virtual Receptionist Scheduling Geo Routing A single call measurement number can ring to different offices based on the caller's phone number. If the call comes from area code 214, forward to Dallas office. If the call comes from 202 or 703, forward to DC office. Anything else goes to New York office. Calls will rotate to multiple ring-to numbers based on the established routine. The first call goes to the first ring-to number listed, then the next call will be sent to the second ring-to number on the list. This feature is typically used for sales teams that want to share incoming leads across multiple employees. User can setup a number to change its ring-to setting every day at a certain time. This is useful for (1) small business managers who want calls to come to their mobile phones when they leave the office each day and (2) advertisers who are utilizing call centers to handle after-hours inquiries. Advertisers can now setup call tracking  numbers to perform like a virtual receptionist  Round Robin Menu Routing A single call measurement number can have a PBX-like greeting that helps callers navigate to the proper ring-to. "For our Dallas office, press 1. For our New York office, press 2. For our Washington DC office, press 3."
Due Diligence Checklist to Ensure a    Positive Call Measurement Experience 1. Who owns the numbers? Some providers maintain ownership of the telephone numbers that are being tracked. Advertisers become hostages to the call measurement company that is leasing the numbers because they can't switch to another provider without forfeiting all of the calls that their number generates. When we sell a call measurement number, the customer becomes the owner of that line. If we're not doing a good job, the advertiser can port the number to another company without any interruption in service. 2. Who owns the data? Since you are paying for the ad that generates the leads, you should be the only party that can use the collected data. Make sure your provider isn't planning on selling your customers' names, phone numbers and addresses. It's also a good idea to make sure you'll have total control of the information that gets collected (i.e., Can the data be easily exported?, Are there any limitations to how I can use the data?, etc.) 3. Can my minutes be pooled? If a provider offers a package that includes 200 minutes per month, find out if you're allowed to aggregate the minutes of multiple numbers. Example: If you're paying for 10 numbers, make sure your monthly minute total is a combined 2,000 minutes that can be distributed across all numbers (you may have a few numbers that generate a majority of the traffic). 4. What's the contingency plan for misprinted numbers? No matter how careful a publisher might be, there will inevitably be situations where an ad gets messed up. We've worked with phone book publishers who accidentally printed the same telephone number for three different companies. We inserted an automated greeting that asked callers to select which company they wished to connect with...it wasn't perfect, but it minimized the damage. 5. What's the turnaround time for new numbers? If a customer needs numbers in a market that's in our existing inventory, the provisioning process takes about 3 minutes. If we don't have the market covered, we order lines from multiple vendors in the requested market. In the past, it's taken about 5 to 7 business days for those numbers to be delivered - that seems to be the industry standard. We just formalized a partnership with a new vendor that will be able to provide numbers within 12 hours; I imagine this will quickly become the new standard for everyone. 6. Can the call reports be fully customized? Every provider claims that its reports are customizable. Make sure this means that you can control what data is included and how the information is formatted; often times "customizable" just means your logo gets slapped onto the top of the page.
