CTI CRM Integration

What is CTI?

CTI refers to technology aimed at improving the productivity of human agents by connecting computers with telephone systems. It enables you to initiate and manage phone calls using your personal computer or laptop. For example, for an incoming call, CTI would display all the information of the caller including contact details, call history, etc.

The link between CTI and CRM

Once leads enter your sales funnel, the next step usually involves your sales team reaching out to them personally via telephone calls. Salespeople would find it extremely convenient if they could view all the contact information of leads or prospects in their CRM while conversing with them over the phone. This way, all the data can be stored in a single, centralized view and accessed with a few simple clicks. To achieve this end, you need to have a CTI system that can seamlessly integrate with your CRM.
