What is a Call Manager?
ANS. Call Manager is used to manage your outbound phone calls.
Call Manager was created because we understand how difficult making outbound phone calls is. So the least we could do is create an easy system to manage the calls and follow-up activities.
A Call Plan is a list of Contacts in your database that you are going to call. As you call each person in your list Call Manager keeps track of who you have called and what actions you have taken.
Salespeople have a 75% higher rate of prospect engagement when they are calling as opposed to emailing, and 90% of the final conversations that happen directly before the close happen on the phone, not over email.
That’s why we created call manager
Call manager lets you organise your phone lists and easily keep up to date with the calls that you have made and need to make.
Example phone lists
- A list of your past customers
- Contacts within an area
- Contacts that you have sent an Email campaign
- Contacts within a Group or Groups
- Office Live users can only view your own Call Manager plans.

Tips & Tricks
- Set aside a set amount of time each week to do your phone calls.
- Don’t set yourself a fixed number of calls rather use a fixed time limit.
- Rejection from a person in your database is not fun but quickly mark them as inactive and move onto the next person in your call plan
- Make yourself feel better knowing that your database just got that little bit better in quality!
