Speed calling with Skype and LeadSenders

Use Skype for speed dialing!

While you are making phone calls to Expired prospects, FSBOs, or even to your clients, have you ever thought about how much time is wasted by JUST dialing the telephone?   If you call 50 people per day (which, by the way, is the absolute minimum that most coaches recommend) and it takes about 15 seconds to pick up the hand set, and dial the numbers from your screen, you are spending about 12 minutes a day JUST dialing! It may not seem like much but if you add that up over the course of a month or year you are looking at MANY hours wasted.  Forget about the time wasted, wouldn’t you like to have a system that allowed you to click on a phone number (on your computer) and have it call your party automatically?  The new Skype has this feature!   

Its really quite simple to set up too! All you have to do is download the Skype program (this works on Mac too!) and when ever you go to the LeadSenders web page, it will turn the phone numbers into a clickable link. When you click on the link it will automatically dial the lead.You simply plug in a headset to your desktop or laptop and make calls from anywhere in the world. Their outgoing plans start as low as $2.95/mo and its free if you want to talk to another computer that has a Skype account.

You may be worried about quality given that this is a voice-over-computer program. Years ago, this was a valid concern.   The quality of a Skype telephone conversation was similar to using 2 tin cans attached with a string.  Since they were purchased by eBay, the quality of the conversation often trumps that of good ‘ole Ma Bell…at a considerable savings! We are actually using Skype on all of our systems at the office due to the savings!

This program definitely gets two thumbs up from us! If you have any questions about this and how to integrate it with Leadsenders, feel free to send us an email or call and we will be happy to walk you through it.
