How Much Does it Cost to Use Close as Your Business Phone?
Although we nearly covered every factor impacting your business phone costs, there’s still one, rather unquantifiable factor: limited or poor CRM connectivity.
Meaning, a lagging relationship between your CRM and virtual calling software can quickly add up costs in lost productivity—even lost deals. This often happens as you:
Spend an inordinate amount of time trying to track information on the lead you’re on call with
Are unable to trace that specific info bite that would’ve impressed the person you’re speaking with and helped close the deal
Ask customers to repeat themselves for the third time after they’ve already shared their case with two members of your team before you
In fact, here at Close—long before we built business phone into our CRM— we struggled with all this and more: lost call context, disjointed workflows, an unhealthy amount of tab switching, and way more time spent creating workarounds than closing deals.
But since moving to calling from our CRM (yes, we’re our customers too!), we’ve long said goodbye to these challenges.

The team at TRU Colors even doubled their call rate by simplifying their stack:
“Our call rates have nearly doubled because my reps have simplicity and a smoother workflow. Leads are warmer, which makes sales easier. All because of our CRM.” — Chandler Hatch, CRO, TRU Colors.
But let me guess: you’re thinking costs, right? Don’t you worry, because a business phone in the Close CRM is 40-50% less expensive than your average business phone provider.
