Giving voice to your business

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

When calling a business number, most people expect either a professional-sounding automated greeting, or a friendly human on the other end of the line. Voice GreetingHave you ever called a business where the phone just rang without ever switching to voice mail? Worse, were you greeted by the owner’s 4-year old?

Top five reasons for enabling voice transcription

Saturday, July 11th, 2009

What is so great about having a written record of phone calls and voice messages from customers, and how can it increase your productivity?

Here are the top five reasons for choosing CRMTRanscribe for your business:

1. Scanning through a document is much faster than listening to a voice message. That’s because the human eye has the ability to search through text very quickly. In fact, many people who work in busy office environments have mastered the ability to bypass the minutiae and get to the actionable parts of a document right away.

2. By having voicemails and phone calls transcribed, you have a written record of communications. You can choose whether to have all your messages transcribed, or those from select callers. In either case, you know that you can always go back to those records.

3. CRMTranscribe associates each transcribed record with a customer in your CRM system. If you use salesforce.com, you will find this functionality especially easy. Each record has a date and time associated with it.

4. As a manager, you can always access critical communications between your sales force and your customers. You can increase your team’s effectiveness by offering coaching and improvement suggestions.

5. Like everything else we offer at 800PBX, CRMTRanscribe is a hosted service. There is no additional hardware or software required. We take care of the work behind the scenes so you can be more productive.
