Technical Requirements
Requirements:
Strong InternetCheck your internet speed at speedtest.com and click the "Go" button. What matters is your upload speed for making calls.
Under 2.0 - fix this before making calls
Over 2.0 - ok, but you'll drop some calls if anyone is streaming anything
Over 5.0 - better
Over 10.0 - ideal
Always try to plug directly into your modem. Try not to use Wifi for call quality purposes unless your signal is close and you've got a really big upload speed.If your upload speed is low, you'll need to upgrade your internet package.
Headset of your ChoosingAny headset will work - either USB or bluetooth. This will be connected to your computer to make your calls through the CRM.
Recommendations:
Computer Recommendations
Minimum of 8gig Ram, 12 - 16 gig is recommended. This can often be easily upgraded.
Minimum I5 Processor. I3 will work, but we recommend I5 or Ryzen 5 minimum if buying a new computer.
Solid State Hard Drives are faster than traditional ones, but this isn't a requirement, just something to consider if you're buying new.
If you took advantage of a free upgrade to Windows 10 and your computer is sluggish, reinstall Windows 10.
Dual Monitors
VOIP Phone line
#1- You'll be making a lot of outbound calls and some leads may mark your phone number as "spam" and when enough people do, a "Possible Spam" message will show as your caller ID for that phone carrier's network (Spring, Verizon, etc).
#2 - Separates business from your personal life. Your phone will get a lot of calls.
#3 - It's a full business phone system. You can set up extensions and have your voicemails transcribed and emailed to you.
#4 - It's more affordable than installing a hardwired line. It is also a better experience and more comfortable.
#5 - Outbound calls are recorded in the CRM, but having a phone service that records your inbound calls will help with compliance. It's not a carrier requirement, but is helpful if you ever get a complaint.
We recommend DialPad or Line2 as a phone service if you don't have one.
