Real Time vs Post Call Superiority

Overall, Balto is a great tool for increasing compliance adherence, overall sales / conversions, and suggestive call guidance. We've seen a 40% decrease in compliance violations as an organization in a period of 6 months. THIS IS HUGE in our world! We've also increased our conversions by 4% over the last 3 quarters by targeting areas of opportunity in missed voice progressions. Being in the industry for 15+ years, I would put my stamp of approval on the product all day long.

PROS

The fact that the platform coaches and recognizes deficits in real time is crucial! Every other provider in our market does post call analytics, which we all know does no one any good, considering you've either A) Already broke the law, company policy, client policy, etc., or B) You've not converted the account and have lost money. Balto allows us to capitalize on these opportunities, getting manager engagement, while the consumer is STILL ON THE PHONE!

CONS

The downfall to the technology is that we have not yet synced the system to our CRM so there is seamless reporting integration. It makes things a little more challenging for our QA team to identify what phone number we spoke to the consumer on so multiple reports have to be compiled to extract the data points necessary for coaching.

PROS

In the right application, this software has utility for agents.

CONS

Our agents' conversations are very nuanced, and the AI was unable to be situationally intelligent.

Helps with being compliant

PROS

It reminds you on key things you are missing in the sales presentation. It will listen to you speak and if you hit every point then its just a little reminder that you are doing your job correctly and asking all the right questions. If you think you missed something, Balto will show what you didn't say as part of your script so you can go back over it again. I like it, it helps my QA score.

CONS

It will automatically pop up on the screen you last put it on, so if you have only one screen it can be a little annoying. I have 4 screens so I just put it on the screen I use the least and if I need to look at it for something I missed its already there.

Very helpful to new hires!

Very happy with BALTO and what it has done for our new hires or people struggling on the phones.

PROS

This helps newly hired employees feel more comfortable on the phone right out of the gate. It insures that they don't forget the most important things such as compliance pieces and has helped them to be overall more successful from day one.

CONS

We were wanting more robust data to be able to drill down deeper, but with a recent change made, it's much better and more clear to share with the employees.
