What Is Call Disposition?

2 minute read

Call disposition is the categorization label an agent or system assigns to a call after it ends: sale, callback needed, wrong phone number, not interested, etc. In other words, call disposition is a short record of the call’s outcome. 

When every call carries an outcome, you can see how a whole campaign is performing, including how many calls became sales, how many went nowhere, where drop-offs are happening, and more. And then you can improve your campaigns across the board.

Why Is Call Disposition Important?

Call volume alone does not say much. Two hundred calls could convert into two hundred sales or go nowhere due to mismatched targeting or fraud. Without call disposition, you might find it hard to track those calls and adjust in a timely manner.

Call disposition allows you to spot marketing patterns, doubling down on successful strategies and eliminating underperforming traffic sources or campaigns. When results are tagged, it’s easy to see which sources send callers who buy and which send callers who don’t. 

In pay per call, call disposition determines which calls to buy. Calls from high-performing sources are likely ones you want to purchase, while calls from traditionally underperforming sources are likely ones you might want to reject or buy at a lower price. And if there’s ever a dispute over what a call was worth, both sides can settle it from the same record.
