Hi,
I represent PBX Plus (http://www.pbxplus.com) which is based on the award winning (Best of Show for SMB at IT Expo, LA 2009) platform – InVox (http://www.invox.com).
I would like to see you signup and review PBX Plus. I would be happy to add a FREE US or UK number with unlimited minutes to your account.
Your call will be forwarded to your mobile, landline or Skype account.
It works with my Skype, offers free speech recognition, voicemail and voicemail transcription, eFAX (Fax In), Fax Out, Outbound FAX, Fax on Demand, unlimited extensions and sub-extensions etc. For the first time in the industry, PBX+ offers coverage in 40 countries..
The drag and drop designer (visio-like) can be used to configure PBX in just 15 mins. Wizard configures the PBX based on the answers to each question about your business.
Is your call tracking efficient? Are you loosing track of incoming leads?
PBX+ can track incoming callers and insert them as leads automatically in your CRM. If the entity is already present in your CRM, PBX+ will automatically update the note corresponding to the entity with the date and duration of the call.
If you have opted voicemail and call recording for your number, the call records are conveniently placed in your CRM. The voicemail left by the caller is also automatically transcribed and tagged to the entity.
PBX+ can also track your outbound activity into your CRM with the browser integration.
In fact, show attendees at IT Expo walked out “This is the best I have seen till day for telephony era!”
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks.
Adam Smith
