Call Outcomes hold important information about your current call strategies, but you must be careful in how you interpret the results. Just knowing how many calls a rep or team has made does not lead to advanced strategy or ROI calculations. To help supplement this base data, Playbooks and its users log other insights about the call to help answer some of the top questions managers and operation teams have.

Many of the reports in this folder use the standard Salesforce “Call Result” field. The Playbooks integration means that every call placed through Playbooks must have a Call Result. Some customers require other fields to be completed after each call. For Playbooks reports, Phone Call fields refer to calls placed in Playbooks. Call Activity fields refer to skipped calls meaning there isn’t a phone call record. The Call Activity fields will not appear in the reports that use the filter “Subject: does not contain -Skipped”. Making things easy and seamless means that your data represents a full accounting of call tasks.

Call Results Breakdown

“How many calls were logged with each call disposition option?”

This report and graph show a rep and/or manager the dispersion of calls in the last 7 days across the different call result options. This report can also be extended to show the last 30 days (see how to create this report in the advanced reporting tab). Use this as a quick snapshot of your users’ call activity.

Call Result Detail View

“What does my rep do with their talk time?”

This report plots your users’ Call Results on a plot map using the percentage of total calls as the X axis and average call duration as the Y axis. With this data, a manager:

• Could easily identify if a rep is incorrectly logging an unusually high number of calls with one Call Result (see the 5 dots on the far right where >95% of calls are one call result).
• Would expect to see plot points for Disconnected Number, Wrong Number, and No Answer along the bottom of the plot map indicating that little time was spent on those calls.
• Could identify reps with shorter call durations on Correct Contact calls and coach them on how to keep prospects better engaged now that you’ve got them on the phone.
