Great video, very informative! 🙂If - after a while - I stop using the pool of numbers and cut them off, what's the best way to switch repeat customers generated from the ad campaign, over to the main business number (rather than the forwarding number they've been using up until now)? Hopefully that question makes sense I can think of a couple ideas: - send a text/email to customers letting them know phone system is changing and which number to ring going forward; - pay for the forwarding number(s) for an extra couple months after accepting calls from them, purely to play a voicemail to tell anyone still trying to ring it to start ringing the main business number instead. would this be sufficient, or is there a better way?
@@Gohighlevelup I didn’t want to activate a number pool and risk paying. If you’ve done so, what is the cost comparison for let’s say 5 numbers vs. the number pool with 5 numbers?
Hey Warren! GMB listings have 3 slots for phone numbers so you can use one of those as the inbound path, consumers don’t care what number they’re calling from a listing.
@@Gohighlevelup Yes, thanks I do understand that part. I guess I am unclear on how it works technically, does the customer have to first purchase a text to landline service somewhere? To be able to interact with texts somehow on the go, how is this all routed?
@@dirtdogdigital3979 it’s a twilio API call, through their programmable voice and SMS endpoints. Highlevel already did all of it so you just need an SMS capable number attached to the sub account and you’re good to go.

Hey man. I think the ideas you’ve put forward are probably sufficient!
@@Gohighlevelup okay, thanks bro 👊
is it possible to add my existing phone number to number pool for lead tracking
No, but other conversation providers have figured this out.
Why use number pool and not just use multiple individual numbers?
Cheaper

It says no number availibble for every area code I try. How can I fix this?
How many digits are you putting in?
How to deal with businesses that have long established landline numbers and are resistant to change?

This is way too confusing, and I wish you had shown what the end result/benefit would be before just showing the technicals of setting it up
Appreciate the feedback!
