In some cases – yes. Call recordings play two important roles: 1/ for monitoring your team’s performance, 2/ for legal or regulatory reasons.
Getting a quick access to audio files that contain calls can be an invaluable asset, not just for supervisors, but also for other team members. An ideal example is giving access to recorded calls directly in the CRM. In that case, any CRM user can quickly listen to the audio file and get aware about the conversation’s topic, its outcome, or even the customer’s personality or mood.
Recording calls for regulatory and legal reasons is a large topic that is highly dependent on the country and the industry. We advise to seek legal advise as to the way of storing audio files and data retention period. → Check out our comprehensive guide on call recordings in call centers.
Regardless of the location and the industry, storing calls for as long as possible can be truly useful in case of any disputes, misunderstandings or complaints from customers. Better to be safe than sorry!
