Instant calls

Instant Calls – if an email enquiry is sent during working hours, the Callwell system will ring your branch number, once a member of staff picks up the phone they will hear an automated message telling them the source of the lead, and the enquirers name, they are then asked to press 1 to be connected.

They then have approx. 20 seconds before the phone will ring at the applicant/vendors end, this gives you time to look at your Callwell dashboard to see all details about the enquiry.

This delivers several advantages, the phone will ring your branch seconds after the enquiry has been sent giving you a much greater chance of getting through to the person.

The speed of call will also get you in front of many other agents that don’t have this type of system, the sweet spot especially for valuation enquiries is to call back within 30 minutes or run the risk of missing out.

Enquiry alerts

Callwell Alerts allows you to notify key personnel, by email, if a lead has not been called by the local branch. The alerts are easy to setup by your company administrator.

Examples of alerts commonly used:

  • Any enquiry not called back within 1 hour - Branch manager receives email.
  • Branch managers receiving an alert if the Callwell Score below a set threshold.
  • Business owners receive an alert if the Callwell Score falls below a very low threshold.

Callwell Alerts are included as part of your Callwell Pro package.

Scheduled calls with Morning Caller

Approximately 50% of leads are received between 6pm and 9am the next morning and generally, we are at our most productive during the first 90 minutes of our working day. Which makes it even harder to call all your over-night leads before your competitor.

Callwell's Morning Caller schedules your over-night enquiries to start calling your branch at 10 minutes after your Callwell opening time and then one lead will call every 10 minutes from that point onwards.

Ensuring you and your team deal with those hard to come by leads quickly and efficiently, while maximising your ability to carry out business.

Inbound calls and ad tracker

Callwell does a brilliant job in helping agent with lead management of their portal and web email enquiries, but what about the Phone Calls?

Callwell can also help with these.  We give you a dedicated number you can use for the portals and your own website leads.  This can be the same number or a dedicated number for each if you want to see the volumes and quality from each.  This number connects to your branch number or a mobile number if you wish.

The call shows in your Callwell Enquiry Screen in the same way as an email.  If the caller has also emailed then we can show you caller details.  Then simply answer the phone in the usual way.

From this system you can also send SMS text auto responders, follows ups and ask additional questions.

Just another helpful tool from Callwell - allowing you to make that first great impression, first time every time.

Email integrations

Send automated messages through our integration with Mailchimp.

ROI indicator

Our ROI indicator is clever! Used on a regular basis, this feature will help you understand exactly what you are getting from the portals you use.

For example, if you upload the details of the completions last month, the amount each ‘deal’ is worth and the amount paid for the source or portal, our report will show you your ‘Return on Investment’.

Your report will be stored on Callwell and can be retrieved at any time. The report is designed to be printed as a PDF for management or board meetings (or perhaps meetings with your portal provider!).

Team insights

Callwell team insights provides you with the ability to review the individual KPIs of each staff member in real time. For each individual the Performance screen shows:

  • Callwell score: The Average Callwell Score achieved
  • Enquiries: Number of enquiries the individual has clicked to ‘claim’
  • Calls (attempted) and (successful): The total number of each type of call
  • Total call time and average call time: Total time spent on calls and the average time for each call
  • Average review score: Where reviews is switched on the average star rating for reviews received

Performance included as part of your Callwell Pro package.

Live management reporting

Live Management Reports provide you with headline statistics and ensure you never lose touch of branch activity. We will provide you with a URL link that instantly presents  the number of leads received, broken down into enquiry types.

Within seconds you can filter out your valuation numbers and check whether contact has been made. This not only highlights leads received during working hours, but will give you detail on contacts made to those out-of-hours enquiries.

Scoring and leaderboards

Real-time customer service leaderboards

Callwell Score – each lead is given 1,000 point, a point is lost during working hours for every minute a lead is not both claimed or called, only a successful call will count.

Callwell Scoring is optional and can be turned on or off. Your team can view a Callwell Score league table in real-time, at branch level and area level, leveraging their competitive nature to drive improved customer experience.

Your senior management can benchmark the overall Callwell Score against that of competitors, see Company Report. The performance of individual colleagues can be viewed, in the team insights report.
