Freshcaller: Virtual Phone System for Remote Sales Teams

While remote sales teams have grown in popularity with companies, the pandemic and lockdowns shifted the modern sales team to work from home. While the end of lockdowns may shift some to teams to move back to the office, I’m not sure the majority of companies will require that move. The unnecessary expense of a downtown sales office simply won’t have a return on investment that it once did… especially now that companies are comfortable with employees working from home.

While one aspect that skyrocketed in growth was video conferencing, the other necessity for remote sales teams has been call management systems. Remote sales teams require a few calling features when working from home:

  • Call Masking – The ability to make outbound calls with a caller ID that represents the company, not the private number of the sales representative.
  • Call Monitoring – The ability for sales coaches to listen to outbound calls and provide guidance to their sales representatives to improve their sales meetings.
  • Call Reporting – The ability for sales leadership to track outbound call volume to ensure that sales representatives are productive.

Freshcaller: Phone System for Sales Teams

Freshcaller is a virtual phone system that’s built for sales teams. Not only does it have all the core features above, but it’s also a robust phone system that’s perfect for remote sales teams that take inbound and make outbound sales calls. And Freshcaller can all be run from your sales reps’ mobile phone.

Freshcaller has additional features that will drive even more efficiency for your sales teams:

  • Number Porting and Acquisition – Port your current number over to Freshcaller or add local, international, toll-free, or vanity numbers to your business.
  • Call Masking – Give your calls a personal touch by masking your business number with your personal number.
  • Multiple Numbers – Provide your reps with numbers in each country they’re targeting to give credibility to their calls.
  • Voicemail Drop – Add a pre-recorded message at the click of a button to the voicemail inbox of a prospect who couldn’t attend the call.
  • Monitoring & barging – Listen to an ongoing conversation and join the call to provide hands-on assistance to a rep struggling to close the deal.
  • Call Tagging – Require your sales representatives to tag every call with the status of that call so that you can monitor call effectiveness and prospect stage.
