Imagine you or your team has to do 300 calls daily (felt the pain of dialing every number on phone?)

We all know, how difficult it is to check the XL sheet and dial on the phone(Off-course with the chance of error while number typing )

We are running a team that does 300+ calls daily to our user base to understand user’s pain point, We were looking for solutions to reduce the pain of dialing the number but every available solution is either costly or very tedious to install in this Work from the home situation but we found one solution from chrome itself which is

  1. Free
  2. Need No extra installation
  3. Need No extra configuration
  4. Works on Mac, Windows, Ubuntu everywhere because it is chrome dependent

Note: One of our Tele-calling team-member highlighted this in-built chrome feature — Pravash Kumar Jana

The Solutions

Steps:

  1. Install Chrome browser on the phone & Computer [I am considering more than 70% of people will be having chrome by default so no installation]
  2. Open your chrome and login with the same email id which you are using on your phone
  3. Start the “Sync” option from Computer Chrome and Phone chrome
  4. Done: Right-click on any number on Computer (≥8 digits) & you will see the magic option of “Call from Phone[phone_name]”
  5. Click on the “Call from Phone[phone_name]”, It will send the number to the phone(Make sure chrome’s phone notification is on )
  6. Click on the number on the phone — that's it, we are done!

Check the below images it will help to do the setting

Make sure you are logged in Phone Chrome + PC Chrome with the same email Id & Sync is ON(Very imp — Check step 3)

Step 1, 2 & 3 for both phone and computer chrome browser

Once “Sync On” is done, type any ≥8 digit number, do the right click you will see the magical option of “Call from phone” — Yooo hoooo..

I hope it will improve your team’s calling efficiency without any extra cost. Thank you :)
