IP Telephony Integration with CRM: How to Boost Sales Efficiency

At DID Global, we help businesses connect their IP telephony and CRM systems to turn every call into a productive touchpoint.

What Is CRM IP Telephony?

CRM IP telephony directly connects your internet-based phone system to your customer relationship management platform. Every interaction is tracked automatically, without manual input.

This allows your team to:

• See customer information instantly during calls
• Record and store call history in the CRM log
• Access call recordings for future reference
• Track call outcomes and follow-up tasks in one place

Running a small business or overseeing a big sales team, you’ll get the same result: clear, organized workflows when your calls and CRM speak the same language.

How Does Telephony and CRM Integration Work?

The integration of IP telephony with CRM happens in a few essential steps:

1. DID Global connects your virtual PBX or SIP-based phone system.
2. Your CRM is linked via API or SIP connector.
3. Incoming and outgoing calls are recognized and logged automatically.
4. Contact cards are displayed in real-time, with full interaction history.

For example, your CRM opens the matching contact profile when a call comes in. Once the conversation ends, the system saves the outcome and recording in the CRM call log.

• Sales reps work faster with instant access to client data
