Cold calling software with the phone numbers built in and every call tracked

Good cold calling software does two jobs: it gives you numbers worth dialling, and it keeps track of every conversation once the morning's twentieth call is done. Prospya does both for local businesses in France and Belgium: the business phone numbers come from the database, each call starts in one click, and every outcome is logged and followed up without a spreadsheet.

Why cold calling software built for local businesses

A restaurant owner, a plumber or a hairdresser rarely reads email during the day, but they pick up the phone: it is the number of their business, the one their own customers dial. If you sell websites, till systems, insurance or supplies to these owners, a call is often the most direct route. The hard part is not the call itself, it is everything around it.

Without a proper tool, phone prospecting usually looks like this: a list bought or copied by hand, numbers in a spreadsheet, call backs written in a notebook, and two colleagues ringing the same garage on the same day. After a week, nobody knows who was reached, who asked to be called back on Thursday, or which numbers no longer answer.

Classic phone prospecting tools (auto-dialers, virtual call centres) solve the telephony, but assume you already have a clean list. Prospya works the other way round: the list first, then the call, then the follow-up, in a single account.

Figures are computed live from the database and update automatically.

What the Prospya phone prospecting tool does

A targeted business phone number list, not a random file

In the search, pick a trade and a city, or type a phrase such as "garages in Toulouse with phone". Then filter by Google rating, number of reviews, website or no website, and region. The "only new businesses" option hides the ones you or your team have already contacted. The prospect score, from 0 to 100, ranks records by the information they hold: phone, email, reviews, rating and the absence of a website.

Each unlocked record gives the number the business publishes, mobile or landline, as it appears in public sources. We do not promise that every number picks up: a business may change line or close. If both the phone and the email on a record are wrong, the credit is refunded on request.

The Mobile tag: call, text or WhatsApp

Many tradespeople and small shop owners publish their mobile number directly. Prospya detects it (06 and 07 in France, 045 to 049 in Belgium) and shows a "Mobile" tag on the record. On those numbers, SMS and WhatsApp buttons sit next to the Call button. Handy for a short first message when the owner cannot pick up in the middle of a service, as long as you say clearly who you are and offer to stop.

The Call button and the outcome of every call

From the record or from My leads, the Call button starts the call on your phone or your usual calling app. When you come back to the page, a window asks what happened:

As soon as the first call is logged, a prospect in "To contact" moves to "Contacted". If a next action is already planned, Prospya keeps it instead of adding another. Reaching a shop owner often takes two or three attempts. The automatic call back does that work for you: every morning, today's next actions list the prospects to call again, with nothing to write down.

A call script written for each business

The AI writer prepares a call script for one specific prospect: an opener that mentions a real fact from its record (its rating, its reviews, the lack of a website), two sentences about your offer, an open question and answers to the usual objections. It writes in English or French, up to 30 texts a day. To build your base script, read our cold calling script for local businesses.

Cold calling as a team

Cold calling software really pays off with several people. In Prospya, up to 10 people share the same workspace at no extra cost per user: credits, prospects, stages and history are shared.

Never two calls to the same prospect

Each prospect has an owner. In the search results, a record already unlocked by a colleague is tagged with their name and costs nothing more. The history shows who called, when and with what outcome: before dialling, you know whether the restaurant already said "call me back after the holidays".

Call stats per rep

The Team page shows, for each member, calls made and people reached, emails and messages sent, records unlocked, deals won and overdue follow-ups, over 7 days, 30 days or the current month. The owner can set a monthly credit cap per member. You see which trades and cities pick up most, and where the script needs work.

From the call to the quote

After a good call, move the prospect along the pipeline: interested, quote sent, client. A dated next action and a deal value complete the record. Refusals go to "Not interested" or "Do not contact" and disappear from searches for the whole team. Details on the prospecting CRM page.

Dialer, phone list or both

Prospya does not replace call centre telephony with recording or automatic dialling: the call goes through your own phone or tool. If you already use one, keep it for the telephony and use Prospya for the list and the tracking, or export the records as CSV.

The rules for B2B calls

Calling a business's professional number with an offer related to its trade is allowed in France: the national do-not-call register, Bloctel, protects consumers, not businesses. Respect refusals, keep a do-not-call list (the "Do not contact" box does it) and introduce yourself clearly. For texts and WhatsApp, say who you are and offer STOP. Our guide to GDPR and B2B cold outreach in France covers the rules; it is not legal advice.

Start cold calling in three steps

1. 1
   Target

   One trade, one city, with a phone. Add a minimum rating or only new businesses so you never call the same shops twice.

2. 2
   Call

   Unlock the records, open the AI call script if you want one, then click Call.

3. 3
   Log and follow up

   One click for the outcome. No-answers come back the next working day, interested prospects move along the pipeline.

The best time slots depend on the trade: avoid service hours for restaurants (11:30 to 2 pm and evenings), call tradespeople early in the morning or late in the afternoon, and hair salons early in the week, which is often quieter. Our guide on how to prospect local businesses gives the details per trade.
