In the current competitive environment, opportunities are lost not only due to pricing or product, but also due to the failure of the sales team’s actions at the right time. A missed call. A late follow-up. A context that had been overlooked in the former discussion. All these end up in lost opportunities. Although CRM tools such as Salesforce provide many tools to perform, it is an intelligent calling infrastructure in your CRM workflow that drives deals forward.
This is where 360 CTI comes into play, which is Salesforce-native and allows for adding a sophisticated call management layer that is smart and automated, enabling sales reps to work better, efficiently, and successfully.
There are deals that are still sealed over phone calls in spite of the increase in emails and messaging; 41 percent of salespeople consider the phone to be their most useful tool, particularly at the qualification and closing phases (RAIN Group). Yet, the majority of teams continue to struggle with manual dialing, missed notes, outdated logs, or multiple tools to handle the most basic operations of a call.
That adds friction in the sales process. It is a rep that is deprived of context and thus lacks personalization when he has to juggle between multiple apps. A team that is not able to see live conversations will not be able to coach the team in real time.
That is why it is no longer a matter of a dialer, but a matter of a smart, integrated call layer that will assist you in managing momentum, context, and speed.
CTI is a native Salesforce telephony solution that is intended to remove the most common barriers sales reps face in their work on a daily basis, including writing call notes, making follow-ups, call distribution, and keeping data in sync with Salesforce.
It has all the standard features (click-to-dial, power dialer, sticky caller/sticky agent, call forwarding, and IVR) and AI-enhanced ones that allow salespeople to scale up conversations without compromising quality.
So, how do these capabilities make closing deals quicker by showing up on time, prepared, and with tailored conversations?
Sales isn’t just about making calls—it’s about making the right calls at the right time. With 360 CTI’s Power Dial, reps can move through lead lists rapidly, dialing one after another without distractions. That means more conversations in less time—and more chances to uncover interest before your competitors do.
When a prospect calls you first, Auto Lead Creation kicks in—automatically logging the number, creating a new Lead record in Salesforce, and saving all interaction details. Reps can immediately follow up without worrying about missing critical inbound interest.
Why does this matter for closing? Auto Lead Creation ensures no hot prospect gets missed. Together, they give your team more at-bats—and more chances to convert.
Undoubtedly, AI has changed the way sales teams work. According to the Salesforce State of Sales report, 81% of sales teams currently use AI.
When sales reps have to take notes while speaking, something suffers—either the note, the conversation, or both.
360 CTI’s AI Live Call Transcription changes that. It offers speaker-separated, real-time transcripts in multiple languages. Reps can stay present on the call, while transcripts provide a searchable record for reviewing objections, customer cues, or commitments. It’s also invaluable for compliance and coaching.
And unlike manual note-taking, AI transcription ensures accuracy and completeness—fueling better follow-ups and smarter next steps for faster deal closures.
What is essential after every sales call is what you do next. Nevertheless, follow-ups are bound to fall apart when staff are already dealing with dozens of calls daily, and more often than not, when there is no correct recording of notes or context has been lost.
360 CTI’s AI-powered Auto Disposition and Summary Mapping steps in here, tagging calls with accurate outcomes and generating clear, structured summaries in real-time.
The result? Smoother handoffs, faster deal progression, and less room for promising leads to slip through the cracks.
Reps no longer have to laboriously type what happened on a call or mark follow-ups; instead, it is all captured, categorized, and ready to act on. This entails quicker follow-ups and in context. Reps are able to re-engage with the intended customer at the right time without delving through call recordings and incomplete notes.
And when intent and sentiment are flagged automatically, the sales leaders can hone in on the hot opportunities that require immediate attention before they go cold. The result? Smoother handoffs, quicker deal advancement, and fewer chances of any promising leads slipping through the cracks.
Deals don’t always close in one call. Sometimes it takes collaboration—between BDRs, AEs, or even managers.
360 CTI supports Live Call Transfers, so reps can route calls to the right colleague in real time, without forcing the customer to repeat themselves. Reps can also leave live call descriptions, which appear immediately in Salesforce records—providing instant context for the next team member.
That kind of seamless handoff builds trust and momentum across the deal cycle—and ensures prospects feel heard.
A good sales discussion can also dry out simply because follow-ups are not done properly.
According to a stat, On an average, 5 follow-up calls are needed after the initial meeting which is admitted by 80% of sales people.
Sales reps, who have to handle dozens of leads at the same time, can overlook the follow-up with interested prospects, and this happens to be specifically in instances when reminders are stored in far-flung notes or worse, they do not exist at all.
Thanks to auto logging of all calls in Salesforce with 360 CTI. In a call interface, Reps can enter Pending Tasks with due dates as soon as they occur and be assured to always plan the next step and see it.
No matter what kind of follow-up is needed, whether a proposal is to be sent or a demo is to be booked, it is followed up. This further consistency will minimize drop-offs and thereby ensure that opportunities are converted.
Sales coaching often happens after the call, when the moment has passed.
But with Call Monitoring and Whisper, managers can listen in live—and discreetly guide reps during tough conversations without the prospect hearing. It’s especially valuable for new hires, high-value accounts, or late-stage deals that need precision.
Live intervention at the right time can turn a shaky conversation into a closed deal.
Sales teams don’t lose deals because they aren’t trying hard enough. They lose deals because the systems around them create friction, slow response times, or fail to capture critical context.
360 CTI is built to remove those blockers—whether it’s by helping reps move faster with auto-dialing, enabling better follow-ups with task automation, or providing AI summaries so reps can stay in the moment.
And because it’s native to Salesforce, everything syncs automatically—reducing context-switching, data silos, and integration overhead.
