Three Benefits of Recording Business Calls
- Simplifying the onboarding process for new employees. Recorded phone conversations can be a great tool for introducing new employees to your company’s call techniques and styles.
Listening to recorded calls can speed up the process for new agents to get a grip on key elements you want to convey. - Assessing employee’s performance. Call recording provides managers with data to quickly identify individual and team performance. Dashboards provide “at – a – glance” analysis.
- Improve the quality of your team’s customer service. By listening back to calls you can spot the customer requests that caused issues or difficulties for your agents.
Then use that to adapt and refine your team’s responses for the next time those requests come up again.

5 Reasons Why Your Business Needs Video Surveillance
- Video surveillance deters crime. Potential criminals will see that you, as business owner, have taken steps to protect your business and your clients.
- Video surveillance protects the outside of your business. Take extra care to ensure coverage for back alleys and rear entrances, and any area where people may try to conceal themselves.
- Video surveillance increases parking lot safety. Reduce vehicle break-ins and vandalism, as well as increasing the personal safety of your employees and customers as they enter and exit their cars.
- Video surveillance is powerful evidence for injury claims. Fraudulent claims such as slip and fall injuries can be extremely costly.
- Video surveillance may reduce your insurance premiums. Insurance carriers often look for positives when evaluating a business risk. They, too, look to reduce the cost or frequency of loss.
