"Our inside sales reps wasted so much time figuring out who to call that each of them averaged less than 100 calls per day. With Salesforce Call Center a rep simply clicks the next lead in the queue and the appropriate record pops up. Our reps now make 150 calls per day—an improvement of more than 50 percent."
