    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.

    Telonium enables us to keep your voice systems automated, allowing us to receive all incoming calls and route them to the appropriate person in your office. We are notified whenever a voicemail message is left on your desk. You can play the voicemail without dialing if you receive an e-mail notification.We can customize our phone system from anywhere. There is no need to schedule a technician to visit your site and make adjustments because all phones are delivered ready to connect. We can use this program to prevent unsolicited telemarketers and phone calls from reaching our phones. It is the ideal solution for a better and safer phone service, with a high percentage of filtered calls in our favor. Telonium makes it as simple as possible for us to launch or relocate your service. When our customers and prospects call you, we only need to provide a few pieces of information, and Telonium will handle the rest. When you need to make changes to your system, all it takes is a phone call or a visit to a customer web portal to make immediate changes.However a high-speed Internet connection is required at the location where the phone will be used.

    Pros
    CallFire
    • 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 control panel function is very good because we can see the progress and work of the agents, individually and also as a group with the different work teams.
    • We have found the call scripts very useful, especially with new agents who still don't know very well how to conduct the conversation with customers.
    • I think the omnichannel support is great because all the communication channels are in the same program, which makes our work easier.

    Cons
    CallFire
    • 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.

    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!

    Return on Investment
    CallFire
    • I sent out a broadcast message pretty deep in our data base, well three years out. I had one customer come in and buy thanking me for contacting her.
    • Our holiday season was up 35% over last year, this year we used CallFire more than we did in the past.

    • We can see how our agents and customer service staff have become more focused on their tasks and have been more effective and successful in resolving customer requests. The system is quite easy to install and use, so we didn't have any inconvenience, so without a doubt, our profit margin increased.
