LeadMaster Announces the Koala Cloud Call Center, a Seamless CRM and Telephony Integration Offering

Roswell, GA (PRWEB) October 23, 2013

LeadMaster announces the Koala Cloud Call Center, an integrated solution providing comprehensive telephony capabilities for the LeadMaster platform. LeadMaster is a leading provider of SaaS CRM solutions since 1998 and EVS, founded in 1993, is a leading provider of user-friendly, high quality VOIP phone services.

The Koala solution can be configured for inbound, outbound or both. Each inbound user gets a phone number which can be dialed directly or can be part of an answer group with calls routed through the IVR (e.g. press 1 for sales, 2 for service etc). There are a wide variety of configuration options for the answer groups including: all ring, longest idle agent, round robin, top down, agent with least talk-time, agent with fewest calls, sequentially by agent order and random. The abundance of features in the Koala solution make it a good fit for call centers large and small, as well as virtual call centers.

Koala includes many standard features typically found only in very expensive on-premise systems. Some of the standard features include detailed call reporting, screen pops, hot transfer, silent monitoring, whisper coaching, call recording and much more. For example, with whisper coaching the supervisor who is monitoring the call can speak to the agent who is placing the call and the person on the other end of the line will not hear the supervisor.

One of the key differentiators of the Koala solution is a feature called PAM. The PAM feature allows users who are placing outbound calls to click a button and leave a pre-recorded message whenever connecting with voicemail or an answering machine. This allows users to move on to the next call while the pre-recorded message is playing. For example suppose a Customer Service Rep begins calling and reached voicemail on the first three calls. With the Koala PAM feature, the rep can be dialing the fourth prospect call before the first call has finished leaving the pre-recorded message on the voicemail! The CSR can personalize the message by saying “Hello, (person’s name),” then clicking the PAM button to play the pre-recorded message. This feature greatly improves productivity.

Russell King, LeadMaster CEO, said, “Integrating a cloud call center solution with the LeadMaster platform provides a critical component that many of our new and existing customers have been asking for. We want to provide our clients with an affordable, easy to use system that is seamlessly integrated. Regardless of whether they want to manage customers, leads and prospects or do email marketing or integrate their website so leads flow in automatically or simply place and receive phone calls, they’ll find the solution with LeadMaster.”

Koala is offered on a month-by-month basis, which includes the CRM and unlimited calling in the US and Canada. Koala provides the ultimate in flexibility by allowing users to adjust staffing as required without having to sign a long-term lease for equipment. Anyone with a computer and access to the internet can be a part of the calling team. Interested parties can sign up for a free trial at leadmastervoice.com.

Whitlock Announces the Acquisition of Certain Business Operations of Xerox Audio Visual Solutions (XAV)

Richmond, VA (PRWEB) July 14, 2014

Whitlock is pleased to announce the acquisition of certain business operations of Xerox Audio Visual Solutions (XAV) from Global Imaging Systems (GIS), a wholly owned subsidiary of Xerox.

While XAV had built a strong audiovisual business with increased emphasis on enterprise and government customers, after strategic review, GIS decided that XAV did not align with the rest of its extensive business services portfolio.

“Whitlock has a strong commitment to culture and a long history of organic growth, but this opportunity with XAV matched perfectly with our core business principles and values,” states Doug Hall, Whitlock’s CEO.

In deciding to transition out of the business, GIS sought a company that could ensure its audiovisual customers would continue to enjoy excellent service and its employees could continue to develop and grow their careers. Whitlock is able to offer great benefits to both, including a proven track record, financial stability and an expanded footprint for improved service and support nationally and globally.

A number of XAV operational employees will become Whitlock employees, with customer relationships and existing contracts being assigned to Whitlock. XAV business operations in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania will further strengthen Whitlock’s national service delivery to enterprise customers.

“Whitlock’s mission is to retain, acquire and develop mutually rewarding customer partnerships and the most respected workforce in the industry,” Doug explains. “The XAV addition has provided an opportunity for Whitlock to acquire some exceptional employee talent and customer relationships which are complementary to our existing business.”

“The more we met with XAV leadership, mutual respect grew into excitement about our common cultures and strategic direction,” adds Roger Patrick, Whitlock’s COO. “We were more aligned than we could have imagined, and the merging of our teams will allow Whitlock to quickly scale in key markets and offer the talented XAV workforce a place to develop their career paths, contribute to best practices and continue to deliver outstanding customer experiences.”

As of today, Whitlock has 20 U.S. locations and more than 700 employees.
