Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use CallSource in our organization to monitor our CSRs booking rate in an HVAC business. CallSource allowed us to find the strengths and weaknesses of each agent, and train accordingly. CallSource helped us retain a high conversion rate but identifying an "closed" or booked phone call and alerting a manager. At this point were able to reach back out to try and regain the client. Also, helped find what campaigns were doing the best and which ones were not worth keeping.

Pros

Detailed call reporting
Live alert when a call is not booked
the overall scoring of how campaigns are doing
Industry comparisson of how you rate on customer service

Cons

Better pricing model
No contracts
It was a pain to log into the two accounts I had to use, I was always getting booted or having to reset password

Likelihood to Recommend

It is perfectly suited for service businesses that need to have excellent customer service on the phone and where any missed phone call means missed dollars. It is less appropriate for manager positions or other non-customer facing positions. We did not use it for internal work or positions that deal mostly on the back end.

It was nice being able to have monitoring and review of calls, to help improve customer service for associates of all levels. Also helped for callers that were hard to understand if I needed to back through to pull info or data from the call.

Pros

Monitoring
Reporting
Data Driven

Cons

Reviewers not always accurate
slow loading at times
Time stamps not always accurate

Likelihood to Recommend

Great for our real estate holdings to monitor calls, and with it being recorded ends a lot of he said she said when we can pull the audio. Also great for helping coach and improve employees customer service.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our Tier 3 department uses it to implement tracking numbers for our dealer partners and to provide them with insight into how well they may be doing on our program. I'm almost certain that our department is the only one out of the company using CallSource.

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.

We use CallSource as a way to track metrics on the number of customers that call our dealer partners.

Pros

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

Likelihood to Recommend

Tracking numbers work fine but it is very frustrating to use.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Callsource is one of the primary tracking methods we use to monitor the performance of our clients campaigns. Right now, I mange it, review phone calls and pull reports and distribute to the account executives accordingly.

Pros

Reporting: Reporting is very easy to pull.
Phone Call Tracking: The software makes it very easy to listen to phone calls.

Cons

Phone Call Recording: The only place where I would like to see improvement is the number of calls that you can listen to. Calls are kept in their database for 30 days, and while they do give the option to download the calls I would prefer to be able to login and pull past calls as needed. Past calls, months down the road can be important to clients so they can compare the strength of their sales teams and see where improvement is needed. It lets you monitor overall campaign effectiveness, and if Callsource added this feature then they'd be unbeatable.

Likelihood to Recommend

Callsource has been great to work with since it's easy for us to sort the reports by client, and hand them out accordingly. If you need tracking numbers for campaigns, and if you want the bonus feature of listening to phone calls then it's great.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

CallSource is a great tool for call analytics. It gave us a lot of insight into our call performance, missed opportunities, call volume, etc. It definitely helped us structure how we answered the phone in our business. It was used by everyone in our office. We were able to develop new strategies and operating procedures based on the data that we received from CallSource reports.

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

Likelihood to Recommend

CallSource was great at seeing where we were failing as a company on the phone calls. It allowed us to tighten up a few spots to close those gaps and increase our call performance.
