What is Hoop Call Tracking and who benefits from using it?
Hoop Call Tracking is a comprehensive feature that allows sales and service teams to make and receive calls directly from their browser or mobile device, consolidating all calling intelligence within the Hoop CRM. It is designed for businesses that need to manage high volumes of inbound and outbound calls efficiently and ensure every customer interaction is tracked.
This feature is perfect for sales reps who use a power dialer to move through lead lists quickly, as well as support teams relying on sophisticated routing like IVR and simultaneous ringing to reduce customer wait times. By auto-logging outcomes and providing AI assistance, Hoop helps teams advance customer relationships and maintain focus on priorities.
How does Hoop Call Tracking improve sales and support efficiency?
Call tracking dramatically increases efficiency by automating manual tasks and providing immediate insights. It helps reps stay organized and focus on selling or solving problems, rather than manual administration. Key features contribute to a streamlined workflow:
- Browser and mobile calling ensures reps can work from anywhere.
- The power dialer includes quick voicemail drops and automatic number validation.
- AI assistance offers real-time transcripts and instant, editable summaries.
Managers also benefit from conversation intelligence for targeted coaching, which ensures consistent quality across the team and helps reps adjust their approach in the moment.
What specific AI features are built into Hoop's call tracking?
Hoop’s call tracking leverages artificial intelligence to transform how teams handle phone conversations. These tools eliminate the need for extensive manual note-taking and ensure critical information is never lost. The AI capabilities are designed to be embedded seamlessly into the calling experience.
The three main components of the AI-assisted note-taking and conversation intelligence are:
- Real-time transcription that captures live dialogue during the call.
- Instant, editable summaries that generate clear action items, logged directly to the CRM.
- Embedded AI assistance, allowing users to chat with the AI during or after the call to surface insights and identify appropriate next steps.
What does it take to implement call tracking and see quick value?
Implementing Hoop Call Tracking is designed to be a straightforward process, enabling teams to achieve a fast time to value. Unlike older systems that require extensive configuration before use, Hoop allows you to begin placing calls from contact records almost immediately. You do not need to build complex reports right away.
The initial setup primarily involves provisioning Hoop phone numbers and configuring basic user permissions. Since logging and AI tools are built-in, teams can instantly start benefiting from automatic outcome capture and real-time conversation intelligence without complex administrative overhead. This focus on out-of-the-box functionality means you can focus on making and tracking calls, not system configuration.
Which Hoop plans include the Call Tracking feature and how is pricing determined?
Hoop Call Tracking is an available feature within both the Hoop Sales and Hoop Service product lines. The pricing structure for the feature is determined by your chosen Hoop plan and any specific add-ons or usage requirements you might have. It is categorized under the core, pro, and enterprise tiers, suggesting scaling functionality based on plan level.
While the exact cost depends on volume and features like the power dialer or advanced IVR, businesses can expect different levels of access. For instance, the core plan likely includes essential browser calling and basic AI logging, while the enterprise plan offers complex features like advanced routing, dedicated phone numbers, and higher usage limits on calling minutes and transcripts.
How does call routing work for handling complex inbound calling scenarios?
Hoop Call Tracking is built to manage complex, high-volume inbound calls with advanced routing capabilities, ensuring customers always connect with the right person quickly. This functionality is crucial for delivering seamless phone support at scale and reducing customer frustration from long wait times.
The system utilizes several powerful features for directing inbound calls:
- IVR (Interactive Voice Response) calling trees streamline the process of customers reaching the appropriate team or agent.
- Routing can be dynamically based on customer preferences or contact history in the CRM.
- Simultaneous ringing across support teams helps reduce hold times by distributing the load efficiently.
How does Hoop ensure data security and privacy for sensitive call information?
Hoop treats all call data, including transcripts and summaries, with high security and privacy standards, adhering to modern compliance requirements. All voice recordings and conversation data are encrypted both in transit and at rest, protecting sensitive customer interactions.
Access to conversation intelligence and call logs is restricted by role-based permissions, giving managers visibility for coaching while maintaining customer privacy. Since all notes and transcripts are logged directly into the CRM, the platform ensures a single source of truth for all customer data. Hoop maintains strict data governance policies, making sure your call information is secure and accessible only to authorized users.
