Call Monitoring Made Easy

Reviewed on 2019/08/07

I can track both inbound and outbound calls and use it to follow up with customers and for training personnel who take inbound calls!

Pros

It easy to use and convenient to use on a daily basis!

Cons

Sometimes it's difficult to segment Sales from Service Calls!

Response from CallSource

Hi Edward,

Thank you for your review! We are glad that you find the services easy to use and also use it to train internally - that is awesome!

If you are finding difficulty segmenting your Service vs. Sales calls, please reach out to your CallSource rep to review how to filter our reports this way. We want to make your job easier, and make sure that you know how to use all of the reporting capabilities.

Thanks again!

Best Value and ease of use

Reviewed on 2019/08/28

Overall, CallSource is a good value if your ad sources do not need an overwhelming amount of data tracking. it is simple to create campaigns and simple to implement

Pros

CallSource makes it very easy to implement call campaigns and track those calls. You can even set up a notification for daily reporting to keep updated on each call.

Cons

CallSource lacks a feature in which you can get a notification for each call along with a link to listen to the call without the need to sign in every time. This has proven to be a valuable feature and hope CallSource is able to add it in the future

Response from CallSource

Hi Giovanni,

Thank you so much for your feedback, we will take your suggestion to our product team. FYI we do have a feature to get notifications for missed calls and for missed opportunity calls with information and no need to sign in to listen to the call. If those are of interest to you, please let your CallSource rep know to learn more.

Thanks!

Real Estate issue with Call Source

Reviewed on 2019/08/29

We are a St. Regis Residence - a very exclusive offering. Our phone greeting and prospective buyer experience from start to finish is extremely important. The Callsource system was not reflective of our brand. We had to turn two filters off in your system. The first was your this call is being recorded message and actually recording the call which lengthened the greeting. We have 1 receptionist and 2 Sales Directors. We do not need to record calls for quality assurance. The second filter was the Call Shield which added additional time to the greeter by asking the caller to press 1 if they are and existing customer and 2 if they are new. All of our callers using a Callsource number are new customers so this message was very confusing. Also, the Callshield was playing this message randomly to legitimate phone numbers. We tested it on several phones. Now we reached 325 minutes this month without any current advertising using Callsource numbers. I was told that it is spam callers getting caught in the system with calls lasting up to 37 minutes. That makes no sense. We have yet to get one real call coming through a Callsource number. As a result we will be canceling the service. It just doesn't work for us.

Pros

Your team. The set up and ongoing support are outstanding

Cons

The extra shields put in the system that dramatically effect the callers experience. The two shields we had to turn off are the "this call is being recorded" and the call shield as it was blocking spam and legitimate numbers. Callsource seems to be designed for Call Centers or companies receiving many calls

Response from CallSource

Hi Laurel,

Thank you for your review. We are sorry that the disclaimers impacted your customer service but glad we were able to get that taken care of for you. FCC rules delegate that we must have a disclaimer for any calls being recorded - if you are not in need of recording your calls, it is not an issue to remove those. Please keep in mind we can always record any customized greeting you would like in place of our default disclaimers as well.

Your CallSource rep will be reaching out to you for more details, but we are sorry to hear that you have had a negative experience so far. We hope to make this right and help partner with your company for a great brand experience.

CSR Training and Effectiveness of Marketing Campaigns.

Pros

The ability to track our marketing efforts and effectiveness and addition to learn more about how our CSRs are handling the incoming leads has been an real eye opener. When used consistently (important) this service provides a real insight into what's working and what's not.

Cons

Graded calls and labeling of types of callers isn't accurate enough. We originally created incentive programs around performance tracked by Callsource but we've found enough incorrectly labeled "prospects", "lead savers", and whether or not a call was an opportunity so much so that we've had to assign someone to verify this information given to us. This costs us time and money in addition to the service.

Response from CallSource

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for your review. We are glad to hear that using CallSource has been an "eye-opener" for your business and provides great insight.

We are sorry, however, that you have had some issues with labeling accuracy. We do have specific criteria we score against, so if that does not match up to your criteria, please let your CallSource rep know to see what we can do to accomodate you.

Good for some.

Reviewed on 2019/08/07

We would love to use them for all our calls, but it's cost-prohibitive. We also struggle with abandoned calls and we think it's due to the relay we have to use. Overall, very satisfied.

Pros

I like the ease of use, the reporting is very diverse and we can really dig through the details. Love the recordings and the value that offers.

Cons

They are expensive if you get a great many calls. They run the calls through a relay which is confusing for some.

Review from an admin perspective

Reviewed on 2019/08/08

See comments above.

Pros

The calls are analyzed and reports can be easily run.

Cons

Lack of ability to make changes such as renaming campaigns, pretty much any changes to the numbers, having to call customer support for every problem. It takes up too much time when it could be easier to just be able to do in the portal.

Also, the tracking numbers have a hug lag time before the call is connected. Redirect time takes between 10-30 seconds before the call is even redirected. This takes entirely way too long and dropped calls have been increased because of this.

Response from CallSource

Hi Tabatha,

Thank you for your feedback, we take your concerns very seriously.

We do have a system for you to update your own information such as adding numbers, renaming campaigns, etc. available - your CallSource rep will be reaching out to you to give you more information if you are interested in getting this access.

We'd also like to address your concern about lag time - we will be sure to do some testing for your account to determine why you have longer than usual redirect times and dropped calls. Please expect to hear from your CallSource rep soon!

Thank you,

CallSource is on the top of my list of 3rd party systems we work with in our business both for product and support!

Pros

This tool is very easy to use, but even better than the tool is the people behind it. As I am in a very fast paced and in on demand business, time is of the essence. When we need to upgrade, get additional services, check results, reporting etc. Our Support Rep is a super star. He works so well with me and my staff to keep our clients happy. We have even had higher level integration with our own software done!

Cons

The only thing I would say that people complain about as far our clients who we set up with tracking numbers is that it can be lengthy to get from the first ring to a connect

Callsource works as intended

Reviewed on 2019/08/07

We have a hard time tracking conversion rates for our call takers on our software and Callsource has been helping us determine this by listening in on our calls. The trackers on our marketing numbers also helped us to see how well our marketing media platforms are doing.

Pros

I really like the new platform, it makes everything really easy to understand and use. Any information is just one or two clicks away. The search feature is very nice for finding specific calls to listen in on.

Cons

What I like least is the accuracy of the calls being reviewed. We are a big call center and we have thousands of inbound calls every month. There have always been numbers of calls every month being mislabeled. We have a lot of calls labeled as "None-Specified" even though listening in on those calls I can clearly hear the name of the call taker that took the call. It throws the number off on our conversion rates.

Response from CallSource

Hi Tuan,

So glad to hear that you enjoy the new platform! We apologize that sometimes names are missed in conversation; if you feel this is happening too often, please feel free to forward these calls along to your account rep for a second review - we want to make sure the information you receive is as accurate as possible to help your business.

We appreciate your feedback and look forward to continuing to partner with you!

Pros

CallSource offered a product I could not procure from numerous other vendors, including major phone corporations.
