Journeys Through Search

Call center setupA call center where every call lands on the right record.

We set up your phone system and call tracking, route calls to the right queue, and log every call on the CRM record with its source and recording. Missed calls send an alert so someone calls back, and your managers get dashboards for the whole team.

  • Phone system and call tracking, set up and connected
  • Every call logged on the CRM record

How a call moves through it

  1. 1
    Call comes in

    The tracking number records the source, and routing sends it to the right queue

  2. 2
    Logged on the record

    The call, its source and the recording land on the lead in your CRM

  3. 3
    Missed? Alert sent

    A missed call sends an alert, so your team can call back

Phones and CRM, set up together

A call center runs on two systems: the phones and the CRM. When they are set up apart, reps take notes by hand, missed calls go unseen, and nobody can tell which ads made the phone ring.

We set them up together. Each call lands on the lead in your CRM, whether that is Salesforce, Zoho CRM or another CRM whose API allows it, with its tracking source, recording and outcome. Reps see the history before they pick up, and managers see the whole team in one dashboard.

What's included

What call center setup includes

Phone system setup

Users added, call queues created with a number for each, caller ID set, and recording turned on with an announcement.

Call tracking

Tracking numbers set up in CallTrackingMetrics or CallRail, and existing numbers ported over from your old provider.

Routing

Calls routed to the right queue or person, a voice menu carried over from your old system, and separate routing for after-hours calls.

Calls logged on the record

Inbound and outbound calls and texts logged as activities on the CRM record, with the campaign number they came in on. CallRail and CallTrackingMetrics both have native Salesforce integrations, and we set them up and extend them.

Recordings, AI summaries and transcriptions

Recordings played from the record. In Salesforce, calls are logged to a custom activity object that holds long text, which standard tasks and events cannot, so the AI call summary and the full transcription land on the record.

Screen pop

The lead opens when a rep answers, where your CRM and phone system support it, such as the telephony widget we set up in Zoho CRM.

Missed call alerts

Missed calls, missed chats and form fills sent as email or Slack alerts, plus a missed calls report so callbacks are not lost.

Dashboards and reports

A call center dashboard, a live view of calls in queue, and reports on queues, lead status and dispositions.

SOPs and training

Written steps for your reps and managers, so new hires learn the same process.

The real thing

Call center dashboards

We work with TrussCharts (trusscharts.com), our sister company, to build dashboards on the data we connect. Client names and locations are replaced.

  1. 1Every caller still waiting for a call back

    One row per caller, not one per missed call. Ring time shows how long the call rang before it was missed. Open in CTM jumps straight to the call record. (client dashboard, names replaced)

  2. 2Which office is dropping calls

    Answered, missed, and outbound for every location. Long red bars stand out at a glance. Sorted by total calls. (client dashboard, names replaced)

  3. 3Office hours or every hour

    One switch filters every report to your open hours. Weekend and after-hours calls stop counting against the team. Busiest day and busiest hour recalculated for open hours. (client dashboard, names replaced)

  4. 4Missed calls around the clock

    All 24 hours, every day of the week. Overnight gaps show at a glance.
