Getting Started

Setting Up Your Phone Number

Get your dedicated business phone number working. Learn about number types, voicemail greetings, and how to test your setup.

Why You Need a Dedicated Number

SalesPartner uses a dedicated phone number to handle calls and texts from your leads. This keeps your personal phone separate from business conversations.

Benefits of a dedicated number:

  • Leads reach SalesPartner directly, 24/7
  • Your personal number stays private
  • All conversations are tracked and recorded
  • Professional caller ID shows your business name
  • Works across calls, texts, and voicemail

Types of Numbers Available

When your account is set up, we assign a phone number that fits your business needs.

Local Numbers — Use an area code from your region. Great if you serve a specific city or area. Local numbers build trust because leads see a familiar area code.

Toll-Free Numbers — Start with 800, 888, or similar prefixes. Good for businesses serving customers nationwide. Leads don't pay to call you.

Your Existing Number — In some cases, you can port your current business number to SalesPartner. This keeps the number your customers already know.

Talk to our team during setup to choose the right option for your business.

Setting Up Your Voicemail Greeting

Your voicemail greeting plays when SalesPartner can't answer a call immediately. A good greeting sets the right first impression.

What makes a good greeting:

  • Keep it under 30 seconds
  • State your business name clearly
  • Let them know they'll hear back soon
  • Sound friendly and professional

Example greeting: "Hi, you've reached [Business Name]. We can't take your call right now, but leave your name and number and we'll get back to you shortly. Thanks for calling!"

Your greeting is configured during account setup. Contact support if you need to change it later.

Understanding Extensions

If your company has multiple team members, each person gets their own extension. Extensions let calls route to the right person when needed.

How extensions work:

  • Each team member has a unique extension number
  • When you take over a conversation, calls route to your extension
  • You can see your extension in your profile settings
  • Extensions are assigned automatically during setup

Your extension appears in your Profile Settings as a read-only field. If you need it changed, contact your account administrator.

Testing Your Phone Setup

Before going live, test that everything works correctly.

Test incoming calls: 1. Call your SalesPartner number from another phone 2. Listen to the greeting 3. Leave a test voicemail if prompted 4. Check that the call appears in your conversation list

Test outgoing calls: 1. Open a conversation in the app 2. Use the call button to dial out 3. Verify your caller ID shows correctly on the receiving end

Test text messages: 1. Send a text to your SalesPartner number 2. Verify it appears in your inbox 3. Reply and confirm the lead receives it

If any tests fail, check your internet connection first. For persistent issues, contact support with details about what you tried.

Common Questions

Can I use my existing phone number? In many cases, yes. Number porting takes 1-2 weeks. Ask our team during setup.

What happens if I miss a call? SalesPartner answers for you. If nobody can take the call, it goes to voicemail and the recording shows up in your inbox.

How do I change my phone number later? Contact support. Phone numbers are managed at the company level, not individually — that's why the field is read-only in your settings.
