Making Calls from a Lead Profile

During the call, you can take notes about what’s discussed and next steps in the Log Call box. Then, once you hang up, you can simply click ‘Log Call’ and the notes will show up on that call log along with the call duration and time stamp.

If your admin has call recording enabled, you may click the play button on the call log to listen to it again. It can be helpful to listen to the call recording for coaching or self-instruction purposes, or just to review some information you might have missed during the call. If you need to dial an extension or press a button during the call, click the keypad icon and enter the number(s).

Incoming Calls

When a call comes into your FUB number, it will ring on your computer and you’ll see the call details at the top of your screen. 

If the person is already in your database, their name will appear at the top of the screen. You can click their name to view their profile where you can easily review past communications and make notes about your current call. If they’re not already in the database, you’ll see an ‘Add Person’ button. Click this button to add them to your database so you can capture their detailed information and organize your future follow ups with them. 

Missed Calls/Voicemails

You can choose to forward missed calls to your phone or to your Follow Up Boss voicemail. This can be configured on your My Settings page. If you are using your Follow Up Boss voicemail, you may record a personalized voicemail message. 

If you miss a call in the system, it will show up in the contact’s timeline, and also right inside your Inbox. In the inbox, you’ll see a handy ‘Return Call’ button to call them back right away, or you can click their name to be taken back to their profile. Voicemails will show up in both places too, but will also be accompanied by a play button so you can listen to the message.

Email notifications for missed calls or voicemails

Only sent when: The "Forward to my phone" option is selected, but you don't have a phone number set. You miss a call from a phone number that isn't in your database.
