If you need to find a test candidate for your client quickly, this is one of the best ways. Pull yourself a hot list of a couple hundred potential candidates and load them in to CallFire. Then get ready to hit about 50-60 calls per hour. You should have a great test candidate for your client in about 24 hours! It's amazing how quickly you can show your clients the true speed of your company.
We found out, the hard way, that Zoom Meeting is not the same as Zoom Webinar, and there is a significant cost difference. The Zoom Workplace is a great tool, and I am learning that there a many ways to customize it for our company.
CallFire provides detailed analytics that show what/when callers select within the phone system
The text message broadcast feature is a game changer. This allows a company to dispatch text campaigns with specific calls-to-action, with tracking analytics.
The voice broadcast feature allows a mass automated message to be sent to client phones. This saves a lot of time when the same notification needs to go out to multiple clients.
The services are easy to use and robust, but there is room for improvement. Unfortunately, not much has changed over the last 2 years of use. There haven't been any new features or innovations in that time.
API integration and automation is not easy for most folks to jump into and there is very little technical support or documentation to take advantage of such features.
The standard reports are generally sufficient, but there isn't any customization or intelligence available.
Zoom Phone has a very sleek design which makes it very easy to operate and use both in the setting up of and interacting in a meeting space. That being said, certain features can seem a bit crowded while trying to screen share or display video which somewhat defeats the purpose of the application as compared to a standard conference call.
Support have been great during the time for implementing Zoom Phones to our team of 50 people. There were times where they kept supporting us through links but more and more we had actual people getting back to us via emails so we are very happy overall. The product is so great, too.
CallFire has a pricing structure that is attractive to us as a small business. The "pay as you use" options helps us keep our overhead low, especially with so many softwares already in our tech stack. It's a tremendous value for the cost!
The big draw for us to Zoom Phone is that they shook up the market. They entered the phone market by taking their overwhelming success in video conferencing, and bringing that innovation and skill to designing a game changing phone system. There is really not much difference among the other systems, except maybe their interface. They're a dime a dozen. Zoom does things differently, focusing in on the needs of the end users, and delivers a solid system that is worry free for I.T. departments
Easier to establish and connect with new users, especially since we do not need to obtain a desktop phone for new employees and existing modern technology can support Zoom Workplace functionality
The ability to send gifs, funny messages, or responses within the day to day business truly lifts up our spirits, adds some humor to the day. I see that as a very positive thing with our team!
If some of our more seasoned and traditional employees are reluctant to Zoom Workplace, we are at a loss. This is not Zoom Workplace's fault necessarily, but when an employee refuses to download the app or maintain their account, its a challenge to add "External" employees and keep them in the loop in the same capacity
