Calling and call team campaigns
What members and admins see in Calling, what the call team is looking for in a campaign and how to send a contact or company to a campaign.
What it is for
A call team phones the contacts and companies your space sends it and books meetings with them. A booked meeting comes back to Opener as a follow-up. You find Calling in the left sidebar in the Outreach group.
How to
A member of the space sees in Calling the campaigns they can contribute to. Each campaign shows:
- its name, the call team that calls and since when the campaign has been running,
- What the call team is looking for: the campaign intent as the admin wrote it,
- Meetings booked, Contacts sent and Companies sent: totals for the whole space, without names.
A campaign that is still being prepared has the In preparation badge. A member cannot see the queue, the goals or other people's contacts.
How to contribute:
- Contact: in the contact detail, open the menu next to the name, or in the side panel on LinkedIn below the lists click Add to calling campaign. Pick a campaign and confirm.
- Company: in the company detail, open the menu next to the name and choose Add to calling campaign.
When picking a campaign you see what the call team is looking for. In the app you can also set a date. When a meeting is booked from a contact or company you sent, you get a notification in the bell (unless the meeting goes to you directly as a follow-up).
A space admin has four tabs in Calling:
- Campaigns: creating campaigns, the queue of contacts and companies, starting and ending.
- Call teams: partnerships with call teams and your own call team.
- Library: states, scripts and fields that campaigns are built from.
- Work record: the callers' work record to download.
Until the space has a call team, a library with a script, a campaign and the first contacts in it, the Campaigns tab shows the Get started with calling introduction at the top: two ways to a call team (your own call team, or a call team via Callers) and four steps that tick themselves off.
Good to know
- Members with edit rights can send to campaigns. A read-only member sees the campaigns but cannot send anything.
- Private contacts cannot go to campaigns.
- Only an admin adds in bulk (several contacts or companies at once, a whole list).
- In the action plan, Send to campaign appears for a contact in the Connected phase that has been quiet for a long time. You set the period in My settings, tab Reminders.
- The Team section has the Contribution to calling campaigns block: how much the team sent this month and how many meetings came of it.
- If the space does not have a call team yet, Calling shows only a short explanation. Calling is set up by a space admin.
- Old Calling addresses in Space settings lead here.
Frequently asked questions
Why don't I see any campaign in Calling?
The space does not have a call team yet, or no campaign is running or being prepared. Ask a space admin.
Will I see what happened to a company I sent?
Calling shows only totals for the whole space. A booked meeting appears in Opener as a follow-up for the person it belongs to.
