dmBiz-Sep10: Go for Gold - Sell 0800 - dmClub Mobile

Is there a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? We think so. Read on for the latest on Gold and Ultra Gold sales, the top reasons to sell 0800 numbers and more.

Treasure hunt: what Gold and Ultra Gold numbers can do for you

Memorable, catchy and a clear status symbol, Gold numbers are a must for companies that want to think big. For you, Gold number sales can mean a 90% value add commission. How could you say no? Cashing in on this can tweak a campaign into profit immediately, rather than on the first renewal.

Gold numbers fall into 2 kinds:

• Gold from £25 to £5000
• Ultra Gold from £5000 upwards (we've got at least one priced at £70,000.. yes, these kinds of numbers exist!)

If you're going for Gold or Ultra Gold sales, we can help. dmClub can offer you:

• Advice and help on the Gold sales process
• Training to help you succeed in Gold sales
• Access to reserve number ranges (numbers not available through our site)
• Staged payment schedules, so you can offer your customers the ability to pay over a number of months (helps close the deal).

A Gold sale or two could pay for your next holiday - or more. To find out more, email dealersupport@dmclub.net, or give us a call on 020 7017 3468.

Five reasons to sell...0800

Wondering where to focus your next campaign? Here are five reasons to start an 0800 campaign...both for your customers, and for you.

1) Strong public recognition: 0800 is the most widely known 'freephone' number range. Customers buying an 0800 number will benefit from the boost that comes with a familiar - and free – number range.

2) Big company style: A toll-free enquiry number tells callers that a business wants their custom enough to bear the cost of the call. An 0800 number projects the image of a large, possibly international company.

3) Get ahead in the competition for calls: Calls to an 0800 number don't incur a charge to the caller (from a land line). So in highly competitive sectors, offering callers an 0800 number can help beat the competition for business.

4) VoIP forwarding keeps the cost down: By using VoIP call forwarding, businesses can benefit from the public recognition and brand benefits of an 0800 number, from as little as 1.45ppm.

5) Fantastic Gold upsell opportunity for you: 0800 is great if you're focusing on Gold and Ultra Gold sales. Customers who buy 0800 numbers are generally keen to get a high call volume, and often invest in a memorable number to increase their call volume.

And finally...dmClub Mobile competition
