What a phone list does

A phone list is the file of customers you want us to call. Upload the people who bought from you recently, and an Aspect Expert calls each one to ask how their experience went. To get the most from Aspect, upload a new list once a month.

What to put in the file

1

Required

Phone number, first name, last name, city and state. A file without these won’t upload.

2

Worth adding

Order number, email address, customer service number, date of experience, company, product and any other detail. The more our callers know about the purchase, the richer the review.

Can’t get the file to format correctly? Email your client success manager and they’ll upload it for you.
