Use Accurate and Up-to-Date Phone Numbers
 

To ensure that messages are delivered to the right audience, it’s important to have accurate and up-to-date telephone numbers in your customer database. You can use phone number validation, formatting, and authentication services to ensure that numbers are correct at the point of entry into your business systems, especially CRM’s.

 

Clean and Update Customer Data Regularly
