A business phone system for sales teams

Route new enquiries to a rep quickly, call from the right company number, log every call to your CRM and review discovery calls against a scorecard.

Common challenges for sales teams

Sales teams depend on answering new enquiries quickly and keeping an accurate record of every conversation. Common problems are:

  • Inbound leads wait A prospect calls the main number, sits in a general queue or reaches voicemail, and calls a competitor instead.
  • Calls are missing from the CRM Reps forget to log calls, so the account history is incomplete and handovers lose context.
  • Reps call from personal mobiles The customer sees a private number, and the relationship leaves with the rep.
  • One number for every market Prospects in another country are less likely to answer an unfamiliar foreign number.
  • Coaching is guesswork Managers hear a few calls a month and have no consistent way to judge them.

How phone.systems™ handles it

phone.systems™ gives sales teams a shared phone setup connected to the tools they already use:

  • Routing for new enquiries A Voice Menu option or a dedicated sales number sends callers to a Sales Queue (round robin, ring all or random), with Voicemail or Forwarding to a mobile as the fallback.
  • CRM call journaling Calls are logged automatically to native integrations with HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho CRM, Zendesk, monday CRM, ActiveCampaign, Odoo, Freshsales, Copper and Attio, and public webhooks send call events to other systems. With HubSpot, calls appear on the contact timeline, unknown callers can be created as contacts, and recordings and AI insights can be attached. Reps open the contact from the app with View in CRM, and the Chrome extension adds click-to-call.
  • Multiple caller IDs Reps choose which company number the customer sees, for example a local number for each market. Numbers are available in 93 countries.
  • Lost-call trackingCall History marks unanswered calls as Lost; tags such as New lead, Demo booked and Follow-up needed and notes keep follow-up organised.
  • AI call scoring Define a scorecard, such as a Sales Discovery Call scorecard with four criteria, and the AI scores recorded outbound calls with reasoning and coaching suggestions. AI call insights add a transcript, summary and key topics for $0.02 per recorded minute.

A sales line from first ring to CRM record

  1. Step 1: Voice menu: Main Menu

    The caller presses 1 for Sales, or dials a dedicated sales number.

  2. Step 2: Call queuing: Sales queue

    Calls are distributed across available reps by round robin, ring all or random.

    • Answered: Rep opens the contact with View in CRM
    • Timeout reached: Voicemail or a mobile fallback; the call shows as Lost
  3. Step 3: Call logged to the CRM

    Call journaling adds the call to the contact's record.

  4. Step 4: Tagged and scored

    Tag the outcome, such as New lead or Demo booked, and review recorded calls with AI scorecards.
