Challenge	Captain Dave’s Dolphin and Whale Watching Safari, based in Dana Point, California, manages dozens of inbound phone calls daily from tourists seeking information about the tours and to make reservations. The company wanted to know which of their advertising channels were delivering the highest number of phone conversions and therefore the greatest return on investment.

They manage dozens of inbound phone calls daily from hopeful tourists seeking information about the tours and to make reservations.

Solution	The company decided to use CallTrackingMetrics (CTM), a call tracking and contact center solution, on the recommendation of their agency partner managing their paid advertising efforts. They started with about a dozen numbers that they allocated to different campaigns across Google, Facebook, Yahoo, Bing, and other channels so they could track which sources were contributing to phone calls and conversions for the tours. As the company became more familiar with the CTM software, they realized they could utilize some of the call recordings to manage their team and provide better customer support. They ported the company’s main line over to CTM and ditched their former hard phone and provider, saving the company hundreds of dollars in hardware costs. Now, their team of 5 agents are able to manage everything through CTM’s softphone and cloud-based platform. Read More Log in to view content
