Callision

Start by turning on numbers and routing without touching hardware. In the admin console, claim local or toll‑free lines, assign them to teams, and build a simple menu with greetings, business hours, and escalation rules. Drag agents into queues, set priorities, and enable recording with one toggle. Need collaboration? Create a conference bridge and share the PIN with your team. For outbound teams, enable dynamic outbound IDs so prospects see a familiar area code, and route new calls to the agents who convert best. You’ll notice faster pickups and more issues solved on the first interaction.

Once live, manage the floor from a single screen. The live view shows who’s on a call, wait times, and queue health in real time. Supervisors can whisper guidance to agents, join calls when needed, or pause/resume recording for compliance. Transfers are streamlined—choose warm or cold, add notes, and keep context attached. With real‑time CRM integrations, incoming calls trigger a screen pop of the customer profile, recent tickets, and open deals so agents skip the lookup and get straight to solutions. Missed calls can automatically queue a callback, and scheduled follow‑ups drop onto the agent’s task list.

Quality and coaching run on autopilot. IBM Watson–powered sentiment and scoring analyze conversations as they happen, flagging frustration, compliance risks, or standout moments. Set rules to auto‑send difficult interactions to a supervisor folder for review, or notify managers in Slack with a link and key highlights. Build scorecards around empathy, product knowledge, and resolution steps; the system pre‑fills ratings and you add quick notes. Compile best‑practice playlists for onboarding: new hires can listen to top calls, compare against scorecards, and ramp faster with focused feedback.

Use analytics to refine your playbook. Track connect rate, handle time, first‑contact resolution, and agent performance by hour, campaign, or queue. Test two IVR paths, compare answer rates by caller ID pool, and adjust routing based on outcomes—not guesses. Export metrics to your BI stack or trigger automations via webhooks (for example, open a ticket when sentiment drops below a threshold). Day to day, a sales rep launches an outbound list with local presence, gets instant CRM context on answer, and books meetings from one screen. A support lead watches SLAs, jumps in when spikes appear, and reviews AI‑flagged calls on a phone during the commute. Setup is quick, changes are instant, and every improvement is backed by data you can act on today.
