60-Second Summary

A call whisper is a short message a call platform plays to the agent just before an inbound call connects, telling them where the call came from, which campaign drove it, and sometimes what the caller wants.

For affiliate networks, advertisers, and buyers, call whispering changes how the call goes: the agent opens knowing who’s calling and why, instead of spending the first minute working it out. Phonexa builds call whisper into the call flow itself in Call Logic.

Call whisper is a short message that a call platform plays to the agent to inform them where the call is coming from, which campaign drove it, and sometimes also the caller’s intent or value.  

Call whisper is popular among affiliate networks, advertisers, and buyers because it helps agents get ready for a particular caller, increasing the chances of making a sale. The agent starts the conversation already knowing who the caller is and what they want.

What Is the Importance of Call Whisper? 

A call is generally worth more when the agent knows who’s calling. Without call whisper, the agent has to spend additional time figuring out who the caller is and why they are calling.

That changes the course of the call. When an agent knows they are working with, say, “an inbound call from a high-intent search campaign”, they can proceed differently than they would for a low-value lead. 

Likewise, buyers running multiple campaigns can route differently, too. And in a pay per call setup, where a buyer is paying for each connected call, call whisper is also a filter. Therefore, the right calls land with the right buyers.

Call Whisper with Phonexa: Know Who’s Calling and Why

The role of call whisper depends on the structure of the call flow. For example, a call whisper announcing the wrong source may serve as a filter that disqualifies irrelevant calls.

With Phonexa, the call whisper feature is built right into call flows.

  • Play a custom call whisper that announces campaign, source, or caller value
  • Pull data for call whisper from the IVR
  • Pair call whisper with real-time call screening 
  • Tie every whispered call back to its campaign
