When companies say that their most important asset is the people they employ, it's often seen as a cliché. But when it comes to your sales team winning new business, there's no room for platitudes. It is a well-known fact - at least for anyone who regularly reads these pages - that inbound calls convert to revenue at a rate 10x greater than any other form of lead. That makes training the people who handle the increased call volume from vanity numbers one of the most important service areas you can focus on. Even if you know your business and your customer base inside out, there is always room for improvement; to fine-tune your sales team and give them the edge over competitors. Vanity numbers provide a special set of features that can help you do just that. Track Your Calls, Train Your Team
