For questions on call and text message billing, please review the help article here.
Setting up the calling feature
1. Prior to dialing out, make sure to check your specific billing page and take note of the number of call minutes (to the US and Canada) that are included in your pricing plan. For questions on checking limits and usage, click here.
2. To enable/access the recordings option, please refer to the Call Recording section below.
3. Begin by adding a "Brokerkit Number" and "Forwarding Number" to your account. If you have not already added a personal number and set up forwarding for text communication, please start by reading the article here.
Find the contact to call
4. Log in to Brokerkit and search for a contact you wish to call.
5. Add any filters from the "advanced options" menu as needed.
6. Click on the name of the contact you would like to call to pull up their profile.
Select the call option
7. Once their profile is pulled up, select the "Call" dropdown menu and select the number you would like to dial. You will see a brief dialogue open while the call is connecting, then the dialer will appear on the screen.
8. Once the dialer is up, the call has been initiated, and while this window is open, you can begin typing in the "Notes" text box. The dialer will stay open as long as the line is open. If the call goes to voicemail or ends for any reason, the notes will be saved and transferred back to the individual's profile for your final review.
Make necessary notes
9. Once the call has ended, you will be redirected to the call note page to log the call.
10. In the bottom left of the call note is the Call Disposition drop-down menu. It will default to "Completed," but you should change it to the proper status of the call.
11. The lead status dropdown will show below Call Disposition and it will default to Contact Attempt. Be sure to update the lead to the proper status based on your call interaction.
12. Be sure to click the "Log Phone Call" button to log the call. You can select the "Shared" icon to adjust the visibility settings.
Reviewing notes and call recordings
13. You will see your notes saved on the profile after you log the call. If you have call recording enabled, you will see the recording in the notes section.
