Built for sales teams that live on the phone

When reps spend four hours a day on the phone, the CRM should sit under the dialer, not fight it.

Phone-first sales teams lose time switching between the dialer and the CRM. Strkr is the system of record under the call: deals, contacts, SMS follow-up, pipeline, and reporting all live inside Strkr, and your existing dialer logs activity back through the integration layer. Native voice (click-to-call, recording, voicemail drop) is on the Strkr roadmap for 2027-Q1. Today, Strkr pairs cleanly with the dialer your team already runs.

What this audience is actually dealing with

The pains that bring buyers here.

Phone-first sales teams describe a consistent set of friction points when the dialer and CRM live separately. The pains below are what sales leaders and reps actually tell us when they talk about replacing a legacy CRM.

The 30 minute daily context switch

Dial in one tool, log in another, update the deal in a third.

Phone-first reps lose roughly 30 minutes a day to context switching: dial through the dialer, log the call in the CRM manually, update the deal with the outcome, open the next record. The toggling adds up. For a 10-rep team that is 50 hours of productive time per week lost to switching between windows.

Data gaps between tools

Half the calls do not log back to the CRM accurately.

Standalone dialers that sync to the CRM via API usually post basic metadata (duration, outcome, timestamp) but drop the rich context (notes, next steps, deal updates). The result is a call activity record that says "call made" without the content. Managers reviewing pipeline see activity but not progress.

Deal updates stay stuck in rep heads

Stage moves and next steps never make it off the dialer.

When the deal lives in the CRM but the call just happened in the dialer, reps batch deal updates for later and often forget. Pipeline reporting lags reality. Forecasts drift. A CRM that sits under the call, with inline notes and one-click stage advance, closes the gap between what happened and what the record says.

Follow-up text goes somewhere else again

The SMS follow-up lives in a third tool from a fourth number.

After a call reps often send a text follow-up ("great talking, link to proposal is in your inbox"). If that text goes through a separate messaging app, the conversation thread disconnects from the account record. Strkr Messaging keeps SMS and MMS on the same account timeline so the next rep (or the manager) can see the full thread.

Manager visibility is thin

Pipeline reporting shows activity volume, not what was said.

Managers reviewing pipeline see call counts and durations synced from the dialer, but the notes and the deal context sit in different places. A CRM that owns the pipeline view and ties call activity to deal progression (stage changes, next step, close date movement) gives managers a real coaching surface.

Compliance records sit in silos

Recordings in the dialer, consent flags in the CRM, audit lives nowhere.

For teams in regulated industries the recording lives on the dialer vendor side, consent is tracked (if at all) in the CRM, and audit response requires joining the two by hand. Strkr keeps every message, deal field change, and consent flag tied to the contact so the audit trail is a single query.

What Strkr does today for phone-heavy teams

The CRM surface under your existing dialer.

Strkr does not ship a native dialer today. What Strkr does ship is the CRM, pipeline, SMS, and automation layer that your dialer plugs into. The cards below walk what is live now.

Dialer integration today

Keep the dialer you already run.

Strkr pairs with the dialer your team is on today. Reps click into the deal in Strkr, dial from the dialer they prefer, and the call activity (duration, outcome, recording link) can be pushed back to Strkr through the integration layer. The CRM, pipeline, and reporting live in Strkr; the voice path lives with your existing phone vendor.

Deal-centered activity timeline

Every call, text, email, and stage move on one record.

When a call ends, the follow-up text, the next-step reminder, and the stage advance all live on the same deal record. Managers reviewing pipeline do not have to hop between the dialer, the mail client, and the CRM to understand what happened. The record tells the story.

SMS follow-up via Strkr Messaging

Text the prospect from the same account timeline.

Strkr Messaging covers SMS and MMS natively, with A2P 10DLC brand and campaign registration handled for your tenant, toll-free number verification, STOP and HELP keyword enforcement, and per-contact consent context on every send. Reps text from the same account surface where they just finished the call.

Automation after the call

Fire a flow when the call outcome logs.

The Strkr flow builder can trigger when a call activity is created or when a deal field changes. Common patterns: send a follow-up SMS when a connected call ends, create a task for a demo scheduled outcome, drop the deal into a nurture flow if the outcome is no-decision. The automation runs where the CRM data lives.

Pipeline view with call context

The pipeline you look at every morning shows the real activity.

Pipeline view in Strkr shows the deal, the owner, the stage, the amount, the close date, and the recent activity (calls, texts, emails) in one surface. Managers coach from the pipeline rather than from a separate activity report. Filtering, grouping, and bulk updates all live inline.

Reporting that ties calls to revenue

Activity reporting joins to pipeline and closed-won outcomes.

Reporting in Strkr joins call activity (volume, connect rate, next-step rate) to pipeline movement and closed-won outcomes. The report answers which reps convert pickups to meetings, which call outcomes correlate with close, and which stage the pipeline leaks on. The join lives in the CRM because the CRM owns the deal.

Strkr Messaging alongside your dialer

What Strkr Messaging ships today for phone-heavy teams.

Strkr Messaging is the SMS and MMS stack that lives inside Strkr. It is the text side of the phone-heavy motion, built in and billed inside your Strkr subscription. The cards below walk what is live today.

SMS and MMS send and receive

Two-way messaging on account records.

Reps send and receive SMS and MMS from the same account surface where the pipeline, call activity, and deal context live. Inbound replies route to the account owner or to a shared inbox based on routing rules. Media (images, PDFs, short video) attaches to the message and lives on the account timeline.

A2P 10DLC registration handled

Strkr Messaging registers your brand and campaigns.

A2P 10DLC brand and campaign registration (the carrier compliance process for business texting from standard numbers) is handled inside Strkr Messaging. Toll-free verification for TFN sending runs in the same pipeline. You do not go set up the registration elsewhere; Strkr Messaging walks the tenant through it.

STOP and HELP keyword enforcement

Opt-out keywords honored automatically.

STOP, UNSUBSCRIBE, QUIT, CANCEL, END, OPTOUT, STOPALL, ARRET, and REVOCAR all unsubscribe the contact from marketing sends. HELP, INFO, and AIDE return the configured help response. The enforcement runs server-side on every inbound message, so campaigns stay compliant without rep attention.

Consent context on every send

The record knows if the contact opted in and when.

Every contact carries consent state (opted in, opted out, never asked) with the timestamp and the source (web form, imported list, rep-captured). Sends respect the state at send time. For regulated motions the audit trail joins the message to the consent record directly.

Pricing you can read off

2 cents per SMS segment, 5 cents per MMS.

Strkr Messaging bills at 2 cents per SMS segment and 5 cents per MMS. Numbers carry a modest per-number monthly fee. The pricing is transparent and shows on the Strkr invoice. US sending is well-covered today; international sending capability varies and is noted on the sender configuration page.

Flow builder sends from automation

Trigger SMS from workflow steps, not just rep clicks.

The flow builder includes SMS and MMS send steps that fire from any trigger (new lead, deal stage change, call outcome logged, inbound reply received). Common automation: send a welcome text when a lead signs up, send a follow-up when a stage advances, send a reactivation text after a period of inactivity.

What is on the roadmap

Native voice capability coming 2027-Q1.

Strkr is building native voice capability (click-to-call, call recording, voicemail drop, inline logging) with a target of 2027-Q1. Until then, Strkr pairs with your existing dialer. The cards below walk what is coming and what to use in the meantime.

Click-to-call from any record

On the 2027-Q1 roadmap.

Native click-to-call from the contact, deal, account, and activity timeline is on the 2027-Q1 roadmap. Until then, click-to-call runs through your existing dialer vendor and Strkr owns the record of the activity, the next step, and the deal update.

Call recording with per-state consent

On the 2027-Q1 roadmap.

Native call recording with per-state consent gating (automated opening disclosure in two-party states, consent flag on the recording metadata, role-scoped retention policy) is on the 2027-Q1 roadmap. Until then, teams in regulated industries rely on their existing dialer vendor for the recording path and sync the recording link back to Strkr.

Voicemail drop with templates

On the 2027-Q1 roadmap.

Context-aware voicemail drop (template selected by deal stage or product line) is on the 2027-Q1 roadmap. Reps running high-volume outbound today use the voicemail drop built into their existing dialer and keep the deal context in Strkr.

Inline call logging

Available now through your dialer integration.

Call logging (structured outcome, duration, free-text notes, next step, deal field updates) is available today through the dialer integration layer. Your existing dialer pushes the metadata and recording link, and the rep fills notes and deal updates inline in Strkr. When native voice ships, the entire path collapses into one surface.

Live manager coaching

Will arrive with native voice.

Live manager monitoring (listen in, whisper coach, barge for assistance) will arrive with the native voice capability. Managers today review recorded calls from their existing dialer platform and coach from pipeline-level activity in Strkr.

SMS and MMS already live

The text side of the motion ships today.

Strkr Messaging covers SMS and MMS today with A2P 10DLC registration, TFN verification, STOP and HELP enforcement, and per-contact consent. The text follow-up motion that normally pairs with a voice call lives inside Strkr right now.

Head-to-head

Strkr plus your dialer versus a legacy CRM plus a dialer.

Below is a comparison of running Strkr as the system of record under your existing dialer (what Strkr ships today) versus the legacy pattern of a dated CRM paired with a standalone dialer through brittle API sync.

Feature Strkr Legacy CRM plus standalone dialer via API integration
Deal record under the call Inline notes, stage, next step on the Strkr deal Deal lives in CRM, call lives in dialer
Call logging back from dialer Metadata and recording link flow into the activity timeline Metadata via API; notes often manual
SMS and MMS follow-up Native via Strkr Messaging, 2 cents per SMS segment, 5 cents per MMS Separate tool or dialer vendor SMS
A2P 10DLC compliance Strkr Messaging handles brand and campaign registration Up to the dialer or SMS vendor
Automation after a call Flow builder triggers on activity and deal field changes Depends on CRM automation surface, often weak

How teams use Strkr

How phone-heavy sales teams actually run on Strkr today.

The common thread across phone-heavy teams on Strkr: they keep the dialer they are already paying for, consolidate the CRM onto Strkr, move SMS follow-up into Strkr Messaging, and build the deal and pipeline surface around the call activity. The playbooks below are current customer motions.

B2B SaaS SDR team, 18 reps

Consolidated the legacy CRM onto Strkr while keeping the existing dialer.

An 18-rep SDR team ran a standalone dialer at roughly 30 per user per month plus a legacy CRM at roughly 90 per user per month, with the two integrated via API. The data sync was lossy (manual notes stayed in the dialer, deal updates stayed in the CRM, 65 percent call log completeness). Moving the CRM onto Strkr while keeping the dialer in place put the deal record, pipeline view, SMS follow-up, and reporting on one surface. Call log completeness rose to 92 percent (dialer metadata plus rep-filled notes inline in Strkr), and the monthly stack bill dropped meaningfully on the CRM side.

SMB sales team, 25 reps

Added SMS follow-up through Strkr Messaging and lifted meeting-booked rate.

A 25-rep SMB team cold-called small businesses across 48 states using an existing dialer. Pickup-to-meeting-booked conversion sat around 11 percent. The team added a Strkr flow that fired an SMS follow-up within 90 seconds of a connected call ending ('great talking, calendar link here'). The SMS went through Strkr Messaging at 2 cents per segment. Meeting-booked rate rose by roughly 40 percent on the connected-call cohort, because the warm text caught prospects who said yes verbally but did not open email.

Mid-market sales team, 35 reps

Moved pipeline reporting onto Strkr while keeping the dialer and recordings in place.

A 35-rep mid-market team coached from recorded calls on their existing dialer. Coaching cadence averaged 2 calls reviewed per rep per week. The team moved pipeline and deal reporting onto Strkr, which gave managers a single pipeline surface that joined call activity (count, duration, outcome) to stage movement and close rate. Coaches still reviewed recordings in the dialer, but prioritized which recordings to review from the Strkr pipeline report. Coaching cadence rose to 4 calls per rep per week, and new hire ramp time dropped from 90 days to 72 days.

Healthcare services, 12 reps

Centralized consent tracking in Strkr while recording stayed with the existing dialer.

A 12-rep healthcare services team called patients across all 50 states for post-discharge follow-up. Legal required explicit consent tracking in two-party consent states and consistent consent context on every outreach. The prior pattern tracked consent inside the dialer and inside a shared spreadsheet. The team centralized consent on the Strkr contact record (consent state, timestamp, source) and routed every SMS and voice call attempt against that state. Recording continued on the existing dialer, with the recording link posted back to the Strkr activity. Audit response time dropped from 2 to 3 days to under an hour because the audit lived on one record.

Put the CRM under your dialer, not beside it.

Common questions

What buyers in this bucket ask most.

Does Strkr include a native phone dialer today?

Not yet. Strkr is building native voice capability (click-to-call, call recording, voicemail drop, inline logging, live manager monitoring) with a target of 2027-Q1. Today, Strkr pairs with the dialer your team is already running. The CRM, pipeline, SMS follow-up via Strkr Messaging, flow automation, and reporting all live inside Strkr. When native voice ships, teams on the dialer integration pattern will be able to migrate the voice path onto Strkr Messaging at their own pace.

Can I keep using my existing dialer with Strkr?

Yes. That is the recommended path today. Keep the dialer you already pay for (RingCentral, Dialpad, Aircall, Nextiva, or any dialer with an API). Strkr sits under the call: your reps dial from the dialer, and the call metadata (duration, outcome, recording link) flows into the Strkr activity timeline. Notes, next steps, deal field updates, and SMS follow-up all happen inside Strkr. The dialer handles voice; Strkr owns the record of the deal.

What does Strkr Messaging cover today?

Strkr Messaging covers SMS and MMS send and receive, A2P 10DLC brand and campaign registration, toll-free number verification, STOP and HELP keyword enforcement, per-contact consent state and audit trail, and SMS send from the flow builder. Pricing is 2 cents per SMS segment and 5 cents per MMS. US sending is well-covered; international sending varies by region. All of that is billed inside your Strkr subscription with no separate vendor contract.

What is the pricing structure?

Strkr seats are flat per user per month at Starter 29, Pro 59, or Scale 119. There is a 14-day trial on paid plans. SMS and MMS through Strkr Messaging are metered at 2 cents per SMS segment and 5 cents per MMS, plus a modest per-number monthly fee for the sender numbers you provision. Your existing dialer billing stays with your dialer vendor. The AI Enhancement module (optional) is 49 per month with 5,000 Strkr AI calls included.

When native voice ships, do I lose the dialer integration?

No. When native voice ships (target 2027-Q1), teams on the dialer integration pattern will keep the integration available. Migration is opt-in. The teams that want to consolidate voice onto Strkr Messaging will be able to port numbers and move the dialing path. Teams that want to keep their existing dialer (because of PBX dependencies, specialized call routing, or vendor relationships) will keep running the integration. The decision stays with the team.

How does compliance work with the dialer-plus-Strkr pattern today?

Consent tracking, STOP and HELP enforcement on SMS, and the audit trail of what was sent and when all live on the Strkr contact record. Call recording for the voice side runs on your existing dialer vendor, which handles the per-state consent gating according to its own capability. The recording link flows back to Strkr so the audit trail joins voice and text on one record. Teams in regulated industries (healthcare, financial services) typically pair Strkr with a dialer that already carries HIPAA or financial compliance posture.
