In business, as in life, the devil is in the details. By that, we mean that the most successful entrepreneurs are the ones who sweat the small stuff; they're the people who are willing to get into the trenches and examine the little aspects of their business that others in their field will ignore. After all, some of the so-called “smallest” elements of your company can have a big effect on how your entire operation functions. The same is true for call analytics. While some business owners will dismiss this metric and ignore it completely, progressive companies use data from call analytics –– not only to bolster their sales numbers –– but to improve their entire marketing strategy.

Since they market themselves online –– and don’t use cold calling as part of their sales strategy –– they (wrongly) believe they have no use for call tracking data. In point of fact though, companies that market themselves online need call tracking software more than any other type of business. That’s because even though customer engagement begins online, sales still occur offline –– over the phone. Call tracking brings the missing pieces together and connects offline sales conversions back to the online content that generated it. Without retrieving data from call tracking software, a business would have no idea how to gauge the effectiveness of their online marketing content.
