SIM-Based Mobile Calling - How Real Sales Happen

  • Best for: Field sales, relationship sales, and mobile-first teams

  • How It Works
    Sales reps call prospects directly from their own mobile phones, using the same numbers they use every day.
    Calls happen through:

    - Their SIM card (mobile network)
    - WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business

No new numbers. No extra tools. Just normal mobile calling.

Why SIM-Based Calls Work Better for Sales

  • Higher answer rates - Prospects trust real mobile numbers. SIM calls see up to 60% higher pickup rates than cloud calls.

  • Better call quality - Mobile networks are more stable than internet calls. No lag, no drops.

  • More personal conversations -Mobile and WhatsApp calls feel natural, not automated — building trust instantly.

  • No behavior change for reps - No extra apps or dialers. Reps call the way they already do.

  • Cost-efficient - Domestic mobile calls are affordable, and WhatsApp calls are free.

  • Built for how sales works today - WhatsApp is a dominant sales channel globally.

This is the default way sales teams already sell.

Cloud Telephony — Internet-Based Calling

     

  • Best for : Call centers and inside sales teams working from desks

  • How It Works
    Cloud telephony uses VoIP, meaning calls are made over the internet via browser-based or app-based phone systems.

    Sales reps call from assigned business numbers, not their personal mobiles. What Cloud Telephony Is Good At-

    - Centralized calling for teams
    - IVR, routing, and call queues
    - Fast setup for desk-based teams
    - Cost-efficient international calling

    Best suited for structured, office-based calling environments.

Limitations for Mobile Sales Teams

  • Lower answer rates - Unfamiliar numbers get ignored.

  • Unreliable on mobile - Internet calls drop or lag on the move.

  • Sounds automated - Prospects sense a system, not a person.

  • Low rep adoption - App switching slows reps down.

  • Higher costs & blind spots - Per-minute pricing, plus no visibility into SIM or WhatsApp calls.

 Previously, we did not know the exact talk time a sales manager spent on the phone with our customers. Our customer base grew by 10x during the pandemic and the telesales team grew along similar lines. It was obvious that we just couldn’t continue logging calls manually anymore”.
