Common Call Tracking Mistakes to Avoid

Call tracking is an excellent tool to help your company analyze the return on investment for different types of ads. However, not all programs are created equal. Call Sumo customers often come to us after having experienced the frustration of other call tracking software. They also report not having received adequate support in implementing an effective call tracking program. Here are some common mistakes our customers have made before moving up to better things with Call Sumo: 

 

 

Not understanding the full power of call tracking data
Your agents will have more successful calls when they know a customer’s history with your company as soon as the phone rings. Our program offers social media feeds, various call scripts to help close the deal, and much more. We also show you how to use them to your advantage.


An over-focus on call volume
When it comes to customer phone calls, quality matters much more than quantity. After all, calls that don’t convert to sales simply take up your agents’ time that you must compensate them for. While tracking call volume is helpful, determining which marketing efforts deliver the most qualified leads is essential.

Improper call routing
When used appropriately, call tracking metrics help to route each incoming caller to the most qualified agent to help him or her. Not taking advantage of this feature in tracking calls can result in unnecessary hold times, transfers, and customer frustration. People who experience too much of this will quickly become former customers.

Integrating call tracking with a weak CRM program
We recognize that Salesforce is a strong CRM program and that most of our customers prefer to use it. Unlike some of our competitors that claims seamless integration between Salesforce and their call tracking program, we actually deliver. We know you don’t have time and money to waste dealing with manual integration.

Not logging incoming calls into a CRM program automatically
Don’t make the mistake of investing in call tracking software and then not tracking every incoming call. It’s the only way you will get the most efficient data to help you plan future marketing campaigns.
These are just five common mistakes in tracking calls. Perhaps you have made several others that you’re hoping to avoid with Call Sumo. Even if you’re a first-time call tracking user, you can avoid costly trial and error by implementing our program from the start. Please contact us to learn more and request a demonstration.

As the owner of a business that depends on phone calls to bring in revenue, you already know that some words and phrases are more lucrative than others. Words and phrases all have a different value, at least when your company is attempting to sell products or service by phone. Research has proven many times that having call center agents use certain words and phrases helps to convert people just making an inquiry into paying customers.  That’s why knowing which words and phrases receive the most positive reactions naturally leads to prospects providing you with greater details about what they need. It’s not an overstatement to say that the ability to identify the most useful words and phrases can either close the deal or break it.

Today’s business owners need artificial intelligence (AI), embedded analytics, and natural language processing to analyze trends and be prepared for the future. Call Sumo provides all three. AI has surpassed big data AI, which consists of deep learning and machine learning, is now more relevant than big data. However, we don’t recommend that businesses seek to replace manual analytical tasks performed by humans with AI. A more suitable acronym for AI is assistive intelligence. In this scenario, the skills of a human analyst are complemented by machine learning algorithms and advanced analytics capabilities embedded into a program. These smart capabilities help organizations prepare and integrate data as well as detect correlations and patterns. Accessibility of analytics improved by natural interactions Business professionals often confuse Natural Language Generation (NLG) and Natural Language Processing (NLP).

How AI Gathers Valuable Consumer Insights

Marketers can’t deliver relevant advertisements and messages to consumers unless they understand their motivations and behaviors. This requires following, collecting, and analyzing the digital trail of consumers to understand their demographics and psychology. Artificial intelligence (AI) allows marketers to gather consumer insights and then predict the consumer’s next action based on previous actions. AI makes predictive assumptions about people in a company’s demographics to help the business understand the desires, motivations, and actions of those it wishes to convert as customers. Predicting Actions To see how this looks in practice, assume that one group of people took three specific actions. Thanks to AI, marketers can then accurately predict that a similar group will take the same third step after completing the first two steps in the same manner. This type of predictive analysis is how advertising platforms and computers create what is known as a lookalike
