MANUAL 1 – SETTING UP YOUR ACCOUNT

About CallShaper CallShaper was founded in 2012 but our software was born years before that when we set out to create a platform to run all aspects of our own call center’s operations. Our philosophy has three main goals: Ease of use, accurate reporting, and flexibility.

At CallShaper, we feel technology should help achieve the business goals and not get in the way. We want the agent to focus on the call, not on a cumbersome process that distracts them from their true purpose of making the sale, collecting the payment or qualifying a prospect. Our platform constantly monitors the changes happening to the campaign and reacts accordingly while using the latest technology in answering machine, busy and disconnected number detection to deliver the most “live” calls possible.

Having accurate information to manage the campaign is vital to its success. Our real-time reporting is designed to be easy to read and to quickly present the information needed to keep campaigns on track. Our historical reporting will provide you with the tools to manage your campaigns. Our customizable reporting will fit the individual need of the campaign by providing detail on data uploaded through lead files and completed by agents. The reports along with our customizable scorecards, provide you with the tools needed to effectively manage, coach and develop your staff.

Flexibility is important to ensure our users, at all levels, get the most out of our software. All campaigns are different. Whether it be the sales pitch, the prospect qualifying process, data submission, or payment capture, CallShaper allows your campaign’s scripting to match your client’s requirements and makes it easy for you to maneuver around and integrate with third party systems. With each campaign created, the settings for voicemail, conversions, dispositions, sounds, dialer type, schedule, callbacks, recordings, skill level, wrap up, leads and queue actions are all customizable.

Early on, we found that our product needed to be user-friendly, extremely flexible and have a variety of reporting to satisfy client needs. That is why whether your Call Center has five agents or hundreds of agents, CallShaper’s software has the tools to fit the needs of your organization.

Adding A User No matter what the person’s role will be, if they log into any of the CallShaper Applications, they will need to be added as a user first. Each user will be given a username and password. The username will be their email address. If your organization does not have email address for all users, you can create one for CallShaper purposes only. Emails are only sent to users who will receive reports or voicemails to their extension.

Before adding a user, it is important to understand what their role will be and what access they should have within CallShaper’s Applications. To ensure each user will have the proper access to perform their jobs effectively, we will review how to add a user, the different levels of permissions and what each permission will give the user access to within the CallShaper Applications.

MANUAL 1 – SETTING UP YOUR ACCOUNT

Teams Within CallShaper, a team is defined as a group of users who report to the same supervisor or manager and are all assigned to the same primary and secondary (if applicable) campaign.

Therefore, the teams within CallShaper may not always match the teams within your departmental structure.

When planning the structure of the teams within CallShaper please note: 

Multiple teams can be assigned to the same campaign and the same supervisor or manager.



Teams can be as small as 1 user and as large as your entire Call Center.



All team members are assigned to the same campaign.



Teams cannot be assigned to more than one primary campaign.



Teams can be assigned to multiple secondary campaigns at a time.



Secondary campaigns are ONLY used to take incoming calls and perform callbacks.



Teams cannot be assigned to more than one supervisor or manager at a time.



You are not limited to the number of teams that can be created within your account.



Teams are never deleted or deactivated, but can be edited.

Primary Campaign (outbound and Inbound) Team A Manager

Secondary Campaign (inbound only) Secondary Campaign (callbacks only)

Supervisor 1 Team B

Primary Campaign (outbound and inbound)

That being said, how the teams are created in the Manage Site, are completely based on the needs and preferences of each organization.

For example; If a supervisor is responsible for 10 agents and 5 are working together on one campaign, 4 are working together on a different campaign and 1 individual agent is working on a campaign by themselves; 3 separate teams would be created within CallShaper. All 3 teams would be assigned to the same supervisor.

Media Attributes Media Attributes are typically used if you have a Media Partner, meaning you are taking or making phone calls for a television, radio or print advertisement. However, this is also a place where you can add a label to specific phone numbers associated with a campaign.

The Media Partners and Types can be assigned to an individual inbound phone number (Covered in Manual 2). If they are assigned to a phone number, they are then reportable and can be viewed on the Media report (Covered in Manual 4).

The Media Partner and Media Types screens are below.

Scorecards Quality Assurance (QA) tools are one of, if not the most important tools your call center management can have. A healthy QA program will give management the means to properly coach and mentor their team by: 

Identifying training needs and understanding how to help the agent meet KPI’s and service levels,



Knowing where to change internal processes to increase efficiencies,



Creating a culture of continuous improvement by getting to the root cause of why things are not happening as intended.

At CallShaper, we understand the direct correlation of a successful QA program and customer/client satisfaction rates. Each customer/client and campaign may have different requirements. This is why we developed customizable scorecard templates that will allow you to: 

Design an unlimited number of scorecard templates per account,



Separate scorecards by section (example - greeting, tone, closing),



Create campaign specific questions,



Incorporate waited scoring based on the importance of the question and the requirements of your customer/client, and



Include notes specific to each question or one pertaining to the overall call.

Each scorecard that is graded in the recordings tab of the Call Detail screen and is permanently attached to the call. The scorecard itself can be reviewed and edited at any time. The results of each scorecard for an individual or a team can be viewed in the QA Agent report. The results of the scorecards by grader can be viewed in the QA Grader report (Covered in Manual 4).

Introduction Message,



Abandon Message,



IVR,



Closed Message,



Blocked Call Message,



Disclosures, and



Callback IVR Message,



Advertisements,



Disclaimers.

Within a campaign, the sounds are not only used for incoming message, outbound abandon calls, they can also be embedded into a script.

For example, at the point in the script where the agent would normally read a disclosure or disclaimer to the customer/client, they can simply press a button and the recording will play. This ensures consistency to every customer/client.

Phone Numbers Types CallShaper offers three different types of phone numbers to purchase and apply to your account through the Manage Site. For rates, please contact CallShaper Support. The types are:

Toll Free

Local DID

LocalTouch

Toll free numbers (8## numbers) are available for purchase in the Manage Site. If you currently have a toll free number that you would like to port to your account, or have a specific toll free requirement, contact CallShaper Support. Please provide the specific phone number(s) or requirements.

Local DID’s are numbers that are made available with a specific area code. If you are interested in purchasing a local DID for your campaign and the area code is not available or, you have a local DID number that you would like to port to your account, please contact CallShaper Support.

The LocalTouch technology uses multiple local numbers with a callerid management algorithm and presents a number to the lead/customer that is local and more familiar to them. LocalTouch increases the likelihood the customer/client will answer the call and increase the campaigns connection rate.

With LocalTouch, you are not limited to one caller id number. In fact, there are up to 200 phone numbers available within each LocalTouch Bucket. This means that every call presented to the customer/client may have a different caller ID number. If the customer/client returns a call to that caller ID number, the call will go directly to an agent working on that specific campaign.

If you are looking for a strategy to increase the campaigns contact rate, LocalTouch is a great option.

Phone Number Categories Once phone number(s) have been purchased on your account, they can be placed in one of three categories.

Assigned

Quarantined

Assigned phone numbers are ones that have been purchased and assigned to a campaign in your account. Phone numbers in this category can be moved to different campaigns (if not a caller ID) and can be released from the campaign.

Quarantined phone numbers are ones that have been previously purchased for a campaign that has since been released.

Once the phone number has been released or a campaign has been made inactive, the caller ID’s associated with that campaign is quarantined for 15 days. This is to prevent new campaigns from receiving calls for the inactive campaign.

After the 15 days in quarantine, the phone number is then moved to the unassigned tab.

Unassigned

Unassigned phone numbers are ones that have either been purchased and not assigned yet or have been purchased and released on your account.

Phone numbers in this status can either be assigned as a caller ID on a different campaign or canceled.

If canceling, you are moving it back into the bucket with the available phone numbers for purchase and you will no longer be charged for the use of that phone number.
