Tracking your Marketing ROI using Cloud Telephony

We at Ozonetel have come out with a new tool that can help you track your marketing ROI. The general customer flow goes something like this:

1. Customer searches on the web
2. Customer clicks on your ad.
3. Customer lands up on your site.
4. Customer browses the site.
5. Some customers call.
6. Some of them buy and some move on.

Now, the web tools like Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Kissmetrics etc allow you to track the flow from start to end and you can make optimizations on how make more people buy. The problem comes with step 5 above.
What happens with the customers who call?
Did they continue on the site after the call?
Did they leave after the call?
What was told in the call?

There can be lot of optimizations done to handle the customers who call and this is where we come in. We have a simple tool which will help you track this communication.

We enable this by sharing a simple javascript code which you put in your landing pages corresponding to different campaigns.

So when customers visit your site and call your call center we track that and update your analytics(Google,Mixpanel etc)

So now your callers can be tracked just like your web visitors as shown below.

Get Caller details and other info right in Google analyics. Get information about real-time callers to your call center etc.

This works best with our call center product Cloudagent.

If you want to try this out for your campaigns, just drop us a mail at sales@ozonetel.com or go to http://ozonetel.com/signup.html

Cloud Telephony-History and state of the art

Well, its been 11 years since Twilio launched their voice API in November 2008. I would say that was a major turning point in the cloud telephony industry. Before that, for people to build telephony applications, you either had to depend on proprietary platforms like Avaya dialog designer or build on arcane technologies like VXML which again was supported at varying degrees by the incumbents. Enter Twilio with their voice API and the industry changed for the better. Since it's been almost 11 years now I thought now might be a good time to do a comprehensive review of the cloud telephony industry as a whole in general and in India in particular. The Beginning Twilio was undoubtedly the startup which ushered in the era of cloud telephony. They started in November 2008. At that time in India, we at Ozonetel had launched a hosted VXML platform. There were no takers. After all who coded in VXML :) So when Twilio launched and we saw them take off, we immediately realized tha...

Telugu ASR speech data collection

Image Source: IIIT-H Developing an indigenous ASR for Indian languages has been a goal for us since a long time. In that regard we have been experimenting a lot, trying out various neural network architectures. While doing these experiments we found that there was no good dataset for Indian languages. While discussing with IIIT professors we got to know that the government of India was also exploring options to generate a good dataset. We immediately offered our help and our platform for this endeavor. So, as a starting step we have come up with a few campaigns to encourage users to donate speech data. We wanted to make it fun, so our first few campaigns are along the lines of JAMs(Just a Minute speech topics) etc. A topic will be provided and you need to speak for a minute on that topic. We have started this campaign for college students to start with. Of course anyone can participate and contribute their data. The more the merrier :) We will adding a lot more innovative ways ut...

Google business messages and chat agents-A match made in heaven

Google has launched Google business messages without much fanfare. It's just a small button that pops up when someone searches for your business on Google. But from the conversation industry perspective this is HUGE . Do you know that the small call button drives millions of calls i n a year for pizza joints and other retailers in the US. Businesses spend more than a trillion dollars supporting billions of customer service calls each year. Now imagine how many chat conversations the "Message" button can drive. Think of how customers interact with business. 1. Search on Google. 2. Click on web site link. 3. Web site shows chat pop up and tries to force the user to chat.(Annoying. I know :)) 4. User clicks on chat and starts conversing with a bot or an agent. This flow can now be completely changed. The new flow can be: 1. Search on Google. 2. User clicks on Message and starts conversing with a bot or an agent. What if you could design a customer experience that helps...
