How to Track and Merge Leads via Telephony?

Overview

In cases where leads are generated via telephony interactions, Meritto CRM provides the Lead Merge feature. This ensures that when a lead contacts the system using different details, duplicate records can be merged into a single profile. For example, if a lead calls from a different mobile number but provides the same email ID, the system identifies the potential duplication and allows counselors to merge the records.

Lead Merge consolidates two lead records into a single profile, retaining all relevant data. This process ensures that all interactions and history related to a lead are accessible in one place, preventing mismanagement and redundant follow-ups.
