New Twist on Robocalling: You Do the (Mis)Dialing, Then Take Survey
By :Eric Chemi, CNBC and Nicholas Wells, CNBC
Quotes :
- The key reason that people stay on the phone and don’t get annoyed is because they were the ones who initiated the call. They are already holding their phone, and had allocated time to talk anyway.
- Based on a Big Crunch review of Reconnect’s data, the company seems to have a strong case — their numbers are very much in line with the population overall. It seems that everybody is equally likely to dial a wrong number, or have a call get disconnected along the way.
- The chances of being disconnected from a phone call is basically random, and a better way of getting a typical sample of Americans than almost anything else you can think of — certainly better than the current robocall approach
