What is CallSource?

CallSource offers a suite of call tracking, reporting, and analytics products aimed at optimizing sales and marketing calls. Features include call recording and tracking, call analytics, and performance evaluation.

Categories & Use Cases

CallSource captures everything you would ever want to know about your phone calls!

Pros

  • Analytics: Monthly reports on calls that breakdown all of the pertinent info you would need
  • Missed opportunities: Management would be notified when we had a missed opportunity for a sales lead/service inquiry immediately after the call was finished so we could follow up on it
  • Potentially missed revenue: Monthly reports would analyze data and tell you the potential revenue missed from the missed calls

Cons

  • Easier Dashboard: The dashboard is a little hard to navigate at times when digging deep into the menus
  • Mobile Dashboard: Sometimes I was not at my desk and needed to listen to a call on my mobile device. I could do it but a dedicated app might be nice

Return on Investment

  • Increase sales - With missed sales alerts, we were able to call those customers back and maybe reevaluate their situation and close the sale, or at least get one step closer to it.
  • Increase productivity - Office staff knew that there was a potential for the calls that they had coming in to be recorded, so they were more efficient and productive in their calls.

CallSource -- it's a-o-k!

Pros

  • The reporting is easy to access and use with little to no training. Pretty straightforward.
  • It does what it's supposed to -- creates usable tracking numbers, with added features like call whisper and call notifications that can be sent to a number of email addresses.
  • It can be integrated with our CRM, Salesforce, for ease of use!

Cons

  • It is SO slow. Trying to access campaigns to make updates, add new campaigns, etc., takes such a long time that I usually open up a CS window, then go back to my emails and tackle other tasks before I come back to CallSource hoping it's finally ready for me to make and save my changes.
  • The call whisper gets identified as a telemarketer often. Wondering if there's another voice or different verbiage that can be used that will help make it sound less like a telemarketer so the person answering the phone doesn't just automatically hang up, which happens often.

Return on Investment

  • We are able to obtain and provide more detailed insight as to why our customers may be doing well/poorly with our products.
  • I can't speak to this in terms of numbers or percentages, but I can say with confidence that it has assisted in saving many high risk accounts.

Slow as a turtle

Pros

  • Tracking numbers work
  • Easy to turn features on and off
  • Can record and listen to calls made

Cons

  • EXTREMELY SLOW!! Takes 10 minutes just to get logged in and set up a single number
  • Phone numbers get spammed a lot and forces us to reprovision
  • Reporting functionality is very weak

Return on Investment

  • Prove ROI to our dealer partners by showing them how many calls they are getting
  • With all recordings, we can discuss calls and coach dealers on better ways to approach our customers
  • Better customer service
