Salesforce launched Lightning Voice feature in its Summer’16 release to connect to your customers in a whole new way i.e. to support the customers anywhere in the world with any telephony environment. It is out of the box solution through which Voice Calls can be generated within Sales Cloud.
Now, Users will be able to make calls, receive calls or automatically log calls, take notes all within a single platform. Also the Salesperson has the ability to localize the person & thus match the contact’s region.
It is the easiest way which Salesforce committed for interacting with clients. Now, Salespeople can sell faster & smarter after the delivery of Lightning Voice in Sales Cloud.
The major advantages:
Increase Sales productivity – Users can speed up the process of calling a customer or prospect by dialing them with a single click from Sales Cloud Lightning. In additional feature when a Lead, Contact or Account is created in the field Sales Team will get the notification along with the Account record created & automatically the Account record gets created which contains the Contact Number of the clients so that the Sales Person can instantly call them with a single click.
