About A personal loans and debt consolidation company

The client is a financial services company that specializes in personal loans and debt consolidation. It has spent the last decade helping consumers find solutions that fit their financial needs and operates across multiple states, which brings state-specific calling rules into its daily work. Direct mail was its primary driver of new business for years. Its sales operation is split into an opener team that pre-qualifies prospects and a closing team that takes live transfers, supported by a dedicated group that monitors campaign performance throughout the day.

The challenge

For years the company relied on direct mail to generate new business, with prospects responding by phone. As consumer behavior shifted, more people answered online instead of calling, until about 70% of inquiries arrived through web forms. Each of those inquiries had to be called back manually by an agent.

The manual follow-up process was slow, and it grew harder to sustain as the business scaled. The owner described it plainly: the approach worked at the time, but as the company grew it got harder and harder to get in touch with people. Because direct mail is expensive, slow outreach also meant a weaker return on that investment, and customer acquisition costs kept rising.

The company also had to manage its caller ID numbers by hand, rotating them a couple of times a week, and to stay within calling-time rules across multiple states. Campaigns were difficult to adjust quickly, and results from a mail drop could take weeks to assess. An earlier evaluation of Phone Burner and other dialing options had not delivered the value, volume handling or caller ID management the team needed, and vendor support had been poor.

Convoso was a game changer for us because now we're able to target at a much faster pace and get a much higher contact rate.

The solution

After evaluating the alternatives, the company chose Convoso because it covered more of its requirements and helped the team stay organized and manage the value of its leads. New inquiries now flow directly into Convoso, where they are added automatically to the outreach queue. The opener team works those leads in predictive dialer mode, pre-qualifying prospects while interest is still high, then live-transfers qualified prospects to the closing sales team.

Convoso Ignite manages the company's caller ID inventory automatically, replacing underperforming phone numbers and prioritizing stronger ones to improve answer rates, which removes the manual number rotation the team used to do. Convoso's Local Presence feature displays a familiar local number instead of an out-of-state one, reducing scam suspicion and encouraging more prospects to answer.

Convoso's reporting and analytics give managers real-time visibility into contact rates, list performance and lead quality. A dedicated team monitors dialing cadences, campaign lists and contact rates through the day and adjusts them hour by hour, whether that means refining a cadence, shifting to a different list or adding data to increase outreach.

Built-in compliance tools handle much of the multi-state regulatory work. StateTracker applies state-specific calling restrictions, and time-of-day controls keep outreach within the appropriate windows for each market. A dedicated Customer Success Manager checks in regularly to help the team improve, a relationship the owner says has continued to deliver after nearly five years on the platform.

The results

  • Contact rates increased by roughly 30% after implementing Convoso
  • Faster speed to lead, with online inquiries flowing straight into the outreach queue for immediate follow-up
  • Convoso Ignite replaces underperforming caller IDs automatically, ending manual number rotation several times a week
  • Live transfers keep closing agents on the phone with qualified prospects instead of chasing customers
  • Real-time reporting lets managers adjust cadences and lists hour by hour instead of waiting weeks for mail results
  • StateTracker and time-of-day controls lower compliance risk across multiple states
