If you are working or running a small business, then you must have encountered many challenges like budgeting, resourcing, and few others.
I have personally worked in comparatively smaller organizations and found that they keep on looking for something better within budget. Larger organizations or those with a sizeable marketing budget can spend blindly on anything but that is not the case with the small companies.
Small companies or startups think thousand times before spending a single penny. We were earlier working on a small project related to analytics and we kept on looking for the better tool with some cost-effectiveness and later found this was not just limited to my department but with all.
So, thought of writing a solution for the marketing department from where the company gets maximum business in the budget. No matter it is a small company or large organization, everyone keeps on looking to grow and it becomes even better when it comes almost for free and that is inbound calls.
What are inbound calls?
These are the calls which are being done by the customers or users to the company for any purpose like-
- To inquire about the service or product
- To get certain technical or business-related help
- Request for certain details and more
If these calls can be managed properly and analyzed, a lot of things can be done. You can record and analyze those calls to find the new business or grow the existing business. But managing these volumes of calls are not that easy. You need a proper setup for that and here in this topic, we are going to talk about the solution considering the small-scale companies in mind.
Although there are many tools to track the phone calls the one we are going to use here is Ringba due to various reasons.
