Call disposition refers to the outcome or result of a phone call, typically recorded or categorized for tracking and analysis purposes.
It indicates what happened during the call, such as whether it was successful, whether a sale was made, or if there was an issue that needed further attention. Common call dispositions include "answered," "no answer," "busy," "left voicemail," "call back later," "sale made," "customer issue resolved," and so on.
Why Do You Need Call Dispositions?
Call dispositions enhance productivity and reporting by offering clear insights into every call made. Here’s why they matter:
Structured Follow-ups – Assign outcomes like "Left Voicemail" or "Call Scheduled" to guide next steps.
Efficient Workflow – Help agents move quickly through calls by categorizing each interaction.
Improved Reporting – Analyze call results to track performance and identify trends.
Better Collaboration – Share standardized call outcomes across teams for unified tracking.
