How can businesses use call data to increase close rates? The quality of the conversations between agents and prospects directly impacts the success of sales calls.
Call duration, an important metric for sales calls, provides a good indicator of how well agents engage prospects. For example, calls ending under a minute hardly give an agent a chance to present a sales pitch, let alone engage the prospect in meaningful conversation. High call duration averages are worthless if the customer feels bored. Engaging prospects in conversation, rather than lecturing, will close more sales.
When businesses identify low call duration averages, they can evaluate calls and provide coaching or modify the script to improve engagement with prospects. Use Nextiva Voice Analytics to view call duration data.
