Phone System Requirement

PHONE SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

The InsideSales product suite requires a DID (Direct Inward Dialing, also known as a

Direct Inbound Number). DIDs connect directly to the sales rep instead of requiring

an extension or phone menu. InsideSales.com does not provide DIDs. Direct SIP

integrations are not available.

Configuration Supported

On-premise PBX with DID ✔

On-premise PBX with no DID X

Cell Phone* ✔

Soft Phone / Virtual PBX with dedicated network connection for SIP Calls* ✔

Soft Phone / Virtual PBX without dedicated network connection for SIP Calls* X

Direct SIP Integrations X

*Some phone providers experience call quality issues that InsideSales.com cannot troubleshoot. Customers

experiencing call quality problems are encouraged to use an on-premise PBX.

NOTE – When reps place calls using InsideSales, the InsideSales system calls the

rep first (referred to as connecting the agent leg) and then when the rep answers

the InsideSales system calls out to the prospect (connecting the client leg). This

means that to a PBX system, all call traffic is inbound traffic. It is essential that

your inbound call concurrency level can support an open inbound call

connection for all reps.

PHONE NUMBER FORMATTING REQUIREMENTS

InsideSales’ telephony tools allow reps to place calls from virtually anywhere in the

world. You must format your numbers correctly and consistently before placing

calls, otherwise the InsideSales system will be unable to place calls. Strict adherence

to the E.164 phone number format standard must be followed.

NOTE – Microsoft Dynamics does not enforce phone number format standards.

Microsoft Dynamics administrators are strongly encouraged to create validation

rules that enforce E.164 standards.

E.164 STANDARD

All phone numbers saved in Microsoft Dynamics for both the reps’ phone number

and prospect phone numbers must adhere to the E.164 standard. This standard

allows numbers to be formatted for all calling scenarios, including local and

international calls placed to and from any country. There are two components to

E.164 formatted numbers:

Plus Symbol: The E.164 standard simply replaces the country-specific Exit

Code with the plus symbol (+). The InsideSales system will add the exit code

(for example, the US exit code is 011) if it encounters an international

entrance code.

Country Code & Local Number: Add the rest of the number, including the

Country Code.

For example, if a record or rep is located in the United Kingdom, the phone number

entered into the system would be: +44-481958104

TRUNK CODES

Trunk codes should not be saved with any phone number. If a phone number has a

trunk code in it, the phone call will not be successfully placed.

Supported Locales

The InsideSales Microsoft Dynamics PowerDialer integration supports reps located

within the United States and Europe. All calls will originate from either the U.S. or

EU telephony centers depending on the sales rep location.

The InsideSales product is only available in U.S. English, and it is not localized for

any other languages or locations.

CALL RESULT FIELDS

When InsideSales logs a call into Microsoft Dynamics, it utilizes the standard Phone

Call entity in Dynamics.

The Call Log contains two fields—Call Result and Description. The Call Result,

frequently referred to as the Call Disposition, is the most important field that is on

the Call Log. This field logs what took place on the call from a telephony standpoint.

This field is required and has been normalized for Neuralytics analysis of call

outcomes. The Description field is used to enter additional notes about the call.

Call Result / Disposition Purpose

No Answer Used when no one answered the call and no

message was left.

Left Message

Used when a rep leaves a pre-recorded voice

message or a manual message with a live

person or answering machine.

Correct Contact Used when a rep spoke with the individual

record they were calling.

Contact Used when a rep spoke with someone other

than the record they were calling.

Wrong Number

Used when a rep places a call but the person

who answered was not who you intended to

call and they were not a good alternative

contact.

Seek Lists

SEEK LIST OVERVIEW

Seek Lists are dynamic dialing lists that present reps

records for dialing according to business rules set by

administrators and managers. Seek Lists refresh each

hour, pulling in the appropriate records and removing

records that are no longer qualified to be in the list.

Administrators and managers can create Seek Lists and

invite reps to the lists. Reps are then able to access the

lists and have the records presented to them to be

dialed.

PACKAGES

CREATING SEEK LISTS

Administrators or Managers are typically the users who create Seek Lists for their

reps. Creating a Seek List is broken into two parts – the main Seek List settings and

the Priority Schedule rules. Each Seek List can contain multiple schedule rules. Each

schedule rule contains the filters and criteria to determine which records are pulled

into a Schedule Rule. Schedule Rules are then prioritized within the Seek List so that

reps are always working on eligible records from the most important Schedule

Rules first.

1. Click the InsideSales tab.

2. Click Administration

3. Click Seek Lists.

4. Click + New List or click the name of an existing list to edit.

5. Configure Seek List main settings.

6. Click Save on Seek List.

PowerDialer Dialing Lists

26 © 2016 InsideSales.com

CONFIGURING MAIN SEEK LIST SETTINGS

There are two parts to each Seek List – the basic Seek List settings and the Schedule

Rules.

Setting Description

Name

The name of the Seek List. This should be a

descriptive name as it will be seen by reps

when they are choosing which dialer list to use

and is also used in reports.

Limit Calling Times

Limits calls to only take place to prospects in

specific, allowable calling times at the

prospect’s time. The prospect’s time is based

on the area code of the Business Phone

number recorded in Microsoft Dynamics. This

applies to all Priority Schedules rules for the

list.

Time Between Calls (min)

Time Between Calls blocks the same record

from coming back into the seek list repeatedly

in a short period of time. For example, if a

record does not change sufficiently from one

hour to the next, the schedule rule may cause

the record to be pulled in again because it still

meets the schedule rule criteria.

This setting ensures that even if a record

technically meets the filter criteria for a

schedule rule that the record is not pulled back

into the list until the time between calls

expires.

PowerDialer Dialing Lists

Assign Users

Grants visibility of a list to reps who that will

have access to that particular Seek List.

Visible to specific users:

Allows a list to be accessible to only the

selected reps.

NOTE – Be selective of who is invited to a

Seek List. As more reps are selected, the

slower the Seek Lists will refresh.

CREATING PRIORITY SCHEDULE RULES

The Priority Schedule Rules are the filters and criteria that add or remove records

from the list. Each Schedule Rule has a maximum of 5,000 records that can be

pulled in at any given hour. Each Schedule Rule runs during the time specified on

the Seek List page:

1. Click the InsideSales tab.

2. Click Administration

3. Click Seek Lists.

4. Click + New List or click the name of an existing list to edit.

5. Click + New Schedule.

6. Configure Priority Schedule Rule.

7. Click OK on Priority Schedule Rule.

NOTE – If a priority schedule rule is created that has greater than 5,000 eligible

records, all records beyond 5,000 will be excluded. To determine which 5,000

records will be pulled in, adjust the sort criteria on your marketing list.

PowerDialer Dialing Lists

CONFIGURING PRIORITY SCHEDULE RULES

Each Schedule Rule is completely configurable by managers. Typically, end-user

sales reps are not the individuals creating and editing priority schedule rules.

Setting Description

Name The name of the schedule rule. This name

should be descriptive.

Call 800 Numbers

Allows records with toll-free numbers as the

Business Phone to be included in the list. Toll-

free numbers are excluded by default due to

conflicts with Time Zone filtering.

Limit Calls To

Determines when a rep loads the next record

in the list if the rep is allowed or not allowed to

see the next record. If a rep is unable to see a

record, the record is skipped for that rep and

the next record is loaded.

No Limit:

Applies no limit to the Seek List – meaning that

as reps move through the list they can see

records that they are not the owner of. For

example, Rep A can load records owned by

Rep B.

Record Owner:

Limits records to only those who are marked

as the actual owner of a record. This restricts

the ability for one rep to see the records

owned by another rep.

10. Click Find to preview the results or Use Query to add members to your

marketing list.

SEEK LIST REFRESH

Each hour each Schedule Rule in a Seek List refreshes, pulling in all records that

meet the criteria and removing all records that no longer meet the Schedule Rule

criteria.

REMOVAL OF RECORDS

Although a record may match the filter criteria, there may be other reasons why the

record does not appear in the Seek List.

Reason Details

Recently Called

If a record was called too recently as per the

Time Between Calls field, the record will be

ineligible for the Seek List.

Blank Phone Number

Only records with phone numbers in the

primary phone number field are included in

Seek Lists. Records without phone numbers

cannot be pulled into a Seek List to be dialed.

PowerDialer Dialing Lists

Reason Details

Invalid Phone Number

If an invalid number is saved on the record,

InsideSales will not be able to reliably present

it to reps.

NOTE – If you are filtering by time zone,

invalid numbers frequently don’t have a

valid time zone. If there is no valid time

zone, then the Seek List will not pull in the

record.

Already Dialed

A single record can be pulled into multiple

Seek Lists during the same hour timeframe,

however, it can only be dialed from one Seek

List within a single hour. As such, if a record

was dialed in one Seek List, it will be removed

from the other Seek List to ensure it isn’t called

twice.

Invalid Time

Seek Lists rely on time to determine when a

record should and should not be pulled in. A

record may meet all of the filter criteria, but be

disqualified because it is not the appropriate

local time to call a record.

ADJUSTING PRIORITY SCHEDULE RULE RUN TIME

Scheduled Rules only run during specified times, provided by the user creating the

Seek List. These can be easily adjusted used the drag-and-drop interface.

NeuralView Seek List

NEURALVIEW SEEK LIST OVERVIEW

NeuralView provides scores relating to contactability

and close, but the Seek List is where the scores

become prescriptive action. Properly configuring a

Seek List with NeuralView in mind is what will

determine the success of reps as well as ease the

workload on sales management.

NeuralView Seek Lists are much more inclusive of

records than the typical Seek List. Therefore, a slightly

different approach is necessary when setting them up.

All scored records will be included in the list, with

known criteria used to opt certain records out.

PACKAGES:

Accelerate

LIMITATIONS:

None

SEE ALSO:

Seek List

CREATING A SEEK LIST FOR NEURALVIEW

Creating a Seek List for use with NeuralView is simple, but requires a bit of planning

from the perspective of management to determine who should not be brought into

the reps’ workflow. The steps are as follows:

1. Click the InsideSales tab.

2. Click Seek Lists.

3. Click + New List or edit an existing list by clicking the name.

4. Save.

5. Create unique marketing lists where the filters include all records within a

specified range (90+, 80-89, 70-79, 60-69, 50-59, 0-49)

6. In the Priority Schedule Rules section, name your first section “NeuralScore

90+”, and set the time range to the total time that reps are dialing records,

and click + New Schedule

7. Configure the Schedule Rules (see below section) for the corresponding

marketing list.

8. Repeat for each of the corresponding marketing list groups (90+, 80-89, 70-

79, 60-69, 50-59, 0-49)

NeuralScore, as well as identifying other important criteria to filter out undesirable

records.

Vision Overview

The Vision email engagement tracking application has three basic components. SEE

ALSO Vision Configurations

Vision Servers: The Vision servers help track all interactions, send

notifications, host the Vision WebApp, and (if users’ email is configured for

server-side routing) the Vision email servers route and apply tracking to all

Vision emails.

Vision WebApp: Used for managing and configuring Vision Settings.

Vision Plugins: Give users easy access to Vision templates and attachments

and (in the absence of server-side routing) apply tracking to all Vision emails.

Email Opened

Notifications appear when the recipient opens

an email.

email client – Gmail always downloads

images, some versions of Outlook don’t by

Notifications appear when the recipient

forwards an email.

Limitation: Forwards are only tracked when

Vision has identified a recipient before. For

example, if you sent an email to a prospect

and that prospect forwards the email to

several people you’ve never emailed before

Vision won’t show a forward notification – it

will show an additional open from the original

recipient.

Attachment Downloaded Notifications appear whenever the attachment

is downloaded.

Link Clicked Notifications appear when recipients click a

link.

Web Page Visited

Notifications appear when a recipient visits

your corporate web pages.

ENABLING AND DISABLING NOTIFICATIONS

The Settings link also has the ability to turn on desktop notifications vs. email

notifications. Desktop notifications pop a notification on the bottom right hand of

the screen not matter where the user is navigating as long as they have Outlook up.

Email notifications send an actual email to the rep of the notification (used when

the ability to access notifications from mobile is critical).

ACTIVITY FEED

The Activity Feed icon looks like a house.

Click on the icon to show and hide the Activity Feed.

The Activity Feed shows all of the recent notifications:

Notification Description

Email Opened Notifications appear when the recipient opens

an email.

Email Forwarded

Notifications appear when the recipient

forwards an email.

Limitation: Forwards are only tracked when

Vision has identified a recipient before. For

example: if you sent an email to a prospect

and that prospect forwards the email to

several people you’ve never emailed before

Vision won’t show a forward notification – it

will show an additional open from the original

recipient
