How Agencies Turn Phone Leads to Customers With WildJar Call Tracking

Hold the phone: did you know that phone leads are 10-15 times more likely to convert than your website leads? 

That’s because, unlike an email blast or banner ad, phone calls are hard to ignore. Phone calls encourage action. Phone calls allow the rep to build rapport and educate potential clients. If your marketing agency hasn’t included phone leads as part of its digital strategy, your clients are missing out.

Call tracking is an important and proven-effective tool to make the most of your phone leads and determine the effectiveness of your sales team. Call intelligence helps improve customer relations, frees up your team’s resources, and helps you better understand real-world trends that impact customer behavior, while also providing personalized service for each client in need.

WildJar Call Tracking: Key Tools & Features

The WildJar + AgencyAnalytics partnership enables reporting on call intelligence via API  integration. WildJar call data flows into the AgencyAnalytic reporting engine in real-time.

The integration allows users to track key call metrics and share data with clients through automated reports. Through this, marketing agencies can comprehensively tie together a client's marketing intelligence by analyzing the experience of calls with AgencyAnalytics, from that first call to the last email received, empowering their sales team with the tools they need to easily move the prospect through various deal stages to a paying customer.

We Asked The Experts: How Do They Use Wildjar to Increase the Number of Calls/Leads?

Let’s look at how professional marketers are using call tracking to help their clients. e reached out to several leading digital agencies and asked them their favorite features and use cases of a dedicated call tracking dashboard. 

Integrate Call Analytics & Measure Crucial Stats

Call tracking and analysis is a powerful way to get actionable data from your leads. Scott Keever, Founder & CEO of Scott Keever SEO, offered this advice on how to best use call tracking to drive leads:

"Integrating your call tracking and analysis tool with your CRM is one of the most efficient ways to use call analytics. By doing so, you can get deeper insights into your leads and evaluate the call behavior of each of the leads added into your CRM. For example, which leads take more time to convert? When you have this data from your CRM and call tracking tool, you can devise a better strategy for reaching future leads and potential clients.”

With the power to track and analyze crucial stats, call tracking is used to find out which marketing channels are driving the most business to your organization, allowing you to quantify the ROI on every marketing dollar invested. 

“One of the best call tracking practices is to analyze your marketing media and evaluate which channel brings in the most calls. You can do this by assigning separate numbers for each marketing channel and tracking the performance of each channel,” Cale Loken, Business Consultant & the CEO at 301 Madison Consulting said.

“Your call tracking tool will analyze the numbers and provide data on how effective each channel is in converting viewers to callers."

A good call tracking system gives a detailed report on things like call length, conversion rates, and hold time. This helps companies create a perfect combination based on caller segments that helps in increasing conversion rates,” he continued.

“In addition, companies can observe various cues, comments, or lead initiatives that will later provide key insights on how to convert a lead into a sale. It also helps companies probe into the thought process of a customer." 

Pinpointing Locations and Peak Call Hours

Call tracking with Wildjar frees your agency from wasted time so you can focus on priority contacts and potential hotspots. Philip Pasma, President of Asterisk Marketing Inc., agrees. 

“Call tracking tools like Wildjar allow you to record precisely when and where the calls were made to your business. This will enable you to get data of the days and weeks when the calls are made most and from which locations and regions. From there, you can pinpoint which region to focus your efforts to grow your network and convert potential leads into clients.” 

Case Study: Automating Your Call Tracking With WildJar 

In order to better understand how clients are using both AgencyAnalytics and WildJar together, decided to dig deeper with Luke Dane and Josh Sexton, the respective Managing Director and Digital Performance Director of Sprocket Digital, a performance-based marketing agency located in Auckland, New Zealand. 

The Challenge

For many businesses, calls are the number-one source of new customer inquiries. Without call tracking software, there is a massive hole in data deliverables and the added value of marketing. It was integral that Sprocket Digital tracked, recorded, and listened to these calls in order to validate whether the leads were worthwhile. 

"In the past, we'd have to reach out to a vendor, ask for a number, wait a couple of days for a phone number, and then move to implement it on the website before we could get our campaigns live,” Josh said.

“Then, oftentimes, once we put it on the website, we would realize there was an issue.“You could definitely attribute that sort of stuff to revenue loss for ourselves and our clients because they can't get the campaigns up and running.”

Sprocket Digital needed to implement something that helped their clients realize the value of the calls they were getting and the leads they were generating. 

The Solution

First, Sprocket Digital needed a robust reporting and dashboards tool to showcase the performance of marketing campaigns outside of the traditional tools. After going to market and exploring trials with other platforms, November 2017, they turned to AgencyAnalytics, which, in their words, "met all of our requirements." 

“We found out early on how flexible it would be to work with our clients,” Luke said. “It’s a simple-to-use hub that connects to a whole load of different platforms that can often be unnecessarily complicated for business owners.

AgencyAnalytics takes the essentials out of those and makes it easy to access and understand so you can get the real, core data of what clients need.” Josh agreed.

“Without AgencyAnalytics, diving straight into something like Google Analytics can be very confusing and overwhelming for a client. So the whole “less is more” thing works quite well in terms of providing data to demonstrate the value that we're adding to our client.

Sprocket Digital wanted to make sure they could offer their clients top-line data, without a need to drill down into the granular matrix.

“The great thing about AgencyAnalytics is that we can create dashboards on the front page and have that top-line data available at a very quick glance to demonstrate whether we're winning or not.“

And then we can plug into automated reports that get sent out every month or every fortnight and offer a real-time dashboard for our clients. It just ticked all the boxes for us.”

Next, Sprocket Digital needed to implement something that helped their clients realize the value of the calls they were getting and the leads they were generating. So, three months ago, they turned to WildJar to help address the inefficiencies, plus problems with the delays in provisioning new tracking numbers and troubleshooting. 

“Call tracking in and of itself is super essential. WildJar provides a modern platform that helps provision set up numbers, seamlessly manage swaps on a website, and presents recording data in an easy-to-understand way,” Josh exclaimed.

"With a front-end platform like WildJar, we can provision and configure our own numbers immediately so that we can solve any problems in real-time.“We have had a really great experience with Wildjar so far. It's a lot more user-friendly than other platforms we've used in the past, and it seamlessly connects with AgencyAnalytics and the data that it provides them."

The Results

In the end, WildJar’s call tracking reporting allowed the team at Sprocket Digital the freedom to do “everything for ourselves.”

“With WildJar, we can provision multiple numbers for every single one of our clients consistently in that workflow. In addition, WildJar has fantastic APIs and it's effortless to work with,” Luke said.

Josh echoed his colleague’s thoughts. "We are technical people; we run quite technical campaigns. So now, we can very quickly get in and identify an issue and fix it. And within a matter of minutes and in real-time, that number has updated on the site. So it's just a streamlined, accessible, intuitive, frictionless process.

"Sometimes, you don't realize that there's an easy solution out there sitting right in front of your face. Thankfully WildJar came knocking, and we've just been really happy ever since."
