Are you still using traditional phone system for business calls?

“Information is a source of learning. But unless it is organized, processed, and available to the right people in a format for decision making, it is a burden, not a benefit” — William Pollard

Manual calling via a telephone or mobile phone is a conventional way of reaching out to the targeted customer segments. In this information age when companies are adapting digital technologies and moving to data based decision making, the manual calling process is outdated and it should be revamped to suit the current business environment.

Why manual calling is outdated?

1. Cannot record the calls — There is no call recordings, you don’t know how your executives are talking and what they are talking? Cannot do any analytics on customer conversation.
2. No data points on number of calls — One doesn’t have any data points on number of incoming sales calls, number of missed calls, how much time your executives are spending in each customer call etc.
3. Low productivity — If the outbound call volume is very high, lot of time is wasted in just dialing the numbers
4. Inconsistent communication — If the communication solution and CRM work in silos, nothing is recorded in the CRM and one cannot recollect every point discussed during the last business or sales call with the customer.
