During the discount period where high percentages of sales take place, shops have to prepare themselves to satisfy the best of their customers in order to earn their trust. Having a wide selection of different sales channels are required to manage the high volume of expected transactions. The telephone order channel may be crucial in closing a purchase when shops encounter scenarios where the internet is lost or the server is down.

How many times have we been asked for our card details to make reservations over the phone? On several occasions we have provided private information to make a purchase or renew a service without even wondering if our data is on a safe environment or a trusting channel.
