Sales agreements can be tough to enforce when they are in writing. However, when a customer makes a purchase by phone, it can quickly become a case of ‘she said/he said’. Third Party verification (TPV) or 3rd Party Recording provides real time documentation for Verbal agreements and sales contracts. Common applications that use audio recording of contracts include the purchase of utility services such as electricity or water as well as cable TV and products with recurring monthly charges such as fitness memberships. Any product or service that can be purchased over the phone can benefit from call recording.

Documenting your verbal agreements with TPV eliminates confusion or discrepancies and provides an easy way to retrieve recordings in case of questions. Often just the awareness that a call has been recorded is enough to avert any effort by a customer or agent to contest a conversation or agreement.

The most common type of TPV recording is Open Ended. This simply records the conversation between the agent and customer while storing addition information entered by the agent, like the account number along with the audio file. When the call is complete, a confirmation number is provided for reference. Easy to use and it works from any phone.

Pre-scripted TPV automated the process by asking the caller a series of pre-recorded questions. They can respond by speaking or press touch tone keys. This guarantees consistency throughout the verification process. The agent can on the line as well for a hybrid approach combining pre-scripted questions with open-ended.

Often purchase agreements include an initial payment through either credit card or bank ACH. Diamond Voice TPV can easily be combined with Pay By Phone to facilitate that first payment and record the agreement details for future transactions. This insulates the agent from liability of handling credit card information and personal details. The process is secured by our PCI compliant systems and servers. Seamless connection between the Third Party Recording and Payment systems allows a smooth and easy process for the agent and the customer.

API integration with our clients’ servers is available for real-time updating and TPV record retrieval.
