Enabling Industry Signals on Numbers

To configure your Tracking Numbers and Number Pools to use Dental Industry signals, you will need to enable the following features in the call record feature by configuring:

  • lead_outcome_enabled - Track qualified leads and booked appointments to measure sales funnel performance and assess interaction effectiveness with potential patients. Analyze conversation outcomes to understand why leads convert or fail, enabling targeted improvements.
  • lead_value_enabled - Evaluate the potential value of a patient lead, enabling your team to prioritize high-impact opportunities, such as high-revenue procedures.
  • topics_enabled - Organize patient inquiries by themes such as practice hours, location, emergency dental services, or referrals to reveal leading indicators of common needs and recurring pattern.
