The Importance of Recording Phone Calls

For most golf courses, almost every interaction with a potential customer is had over the phone. The initial phone call is where you and your employees can “make or break” the relationship with the customer. Recording these phone calls can help improve customer interactions in a number of ways.

Training Employees

Recorded phone calls are great for training employees. It can provide good and bad examples of phone etiquette that employees can gauge themselves on. Recording phone calls also keeps your employees accountable and encouraged to handle every call with care. Managers and Directors can use these recordings to improve phone call procedures and customer satisfaction.

Find Out What Your Customers Are Asking

Call recordings also help you determine what questions and concerns are popular amongst customers. This way, you can edit your website, email campaign, or social media to answer questions proactively. Chances are, if a few people are calling about it, many others are thinking it.

Improve Call Prompts

By listening to these phone calls, you can improve what call prompts you have available to your customers. Maybe there is a certain person that gets requested more than others, or you have too many options to choose from, causing confusion. You can use call recordings to manage these prompts in the most refined way possible.

Use Them as Reminders

Ever take a phone call, then forget about it 5 minutes later? Call recordings are great for reminding yourself of actionable items that take place during a call. You can reference them at any time, which is great for busy golf professionals and operations staff.
