A call management system is a software platform that helps teams route, handle, and respond to incoming calls efficiently. A call management solution makes it easy for businesses to respond to customers in the right way at the right time.
Call management software offers many benefits, including:
There are three important criteria to consider before choosing the right call management system for your business needs.
When choosing a VoIP phone system for your small business, it’s important to consider ease of use and features. A simple program with an intuitive interface will make it easier for your team to get up and running quickly. Consider choosing a cloud-based call management software that works across different computers and mobile devices so your team can make phone calls from anywhere with WiFi.
Shared numbers are a must-have feature for businesses looking for a call management system. They allow multiple people on your team to take calls from the same number at the same time. They also give your team shared context so they’re always on the same page.
Ring groups let you set a ring order to manage your inbound call flow. Phone menus (also known as interactive voice response or IVR) give callers the ability to navigate to their preferred team member or department; your vendors don’t have to call in to your customer support team.
Finally, make sure you choose a reliable system with a good uptime record.
OpenPhone’s features make it easy for managers to review and coach their team’s calls and improve customer engagement. Here are two coaching techniques we recommend when using OpenPhone for coaching:
Call shadowing
Call shadowing is an effective, low-cost way to train new reps or help existing team members improve their customer service. Have the person you’re coaching listen in on a live call with an experienced team member. They’ll get to see how different scenarios play out and how coworkers with years of institutional knowledge and experience navigate different situations.
Then, encourage the team member to ask questions about how and why things were handled in a certain way so they can apply their learnings to their future calls.
Call reviews
Call reviews are a valuable opportunity to review recorded calls one-on-one or in a team environment. Discuss what was done well and ways the rep could improve. Listen to several different types of calls so the individual or team can learn from various scenarios and challenges.
