Built for teams who live in the dialer

A CRM that stays under the dialer so 15 to 20 calls per rep per day do not splinter your data.

Teams that run high outbound volume live in the dialer. If the dialer is a separate tool from the CRM, every call needs manual logging and the data falls behind. Strkr keeps the record of the call, the deal, the next step, and the SMS follow-up on one surface. Your existing dialer handles the voice path today, and native voice (click-to-call, power dialing, recording, voicemail drop) is on the Strkr roadmap for 2027-Q1.

What this audience is actually dealing with

The pains that bring buyers here.

High-volume outbound teams usually run some combination of a standalone dialer (Orum, Nooks, PhoneBurner, Aircall), a sales-engagement platform with an embedded dialer (Outreach, Salesloft, Apollo), and a legacy CRM. Each pattern has friction when the data from the dialer does not land cleanly in the CRM. The cards below are the pains that show up when the dialer and the CRM live apart.

The side-car tool tax

The dialer runs in a separate tab from the CRM.

A rep running a standalone dialer splits attention across two tabs: the dialer with the queue, the CRM with the record. Context switches eat 20 to 30 percent of productive time. When the CRM is the system of record under the call (notes, next step, deal advance, SMS follow-up), the rep can stay in one place for the deal context while the dialer handles the voice path.

Call logging is partial

Metadata syncs, notes do not.

Dialers synced to a legacy CRM via API typically push metadata (duration, outcome, timestamp, recording link) and drop the rich context (notes, next steps, deal updates). The CRM record says "call made" without the content. Managers see activity, not progress. The gap is the daily reality of a dialer-plus-CRM pairing.

Call disposition eats the day

Logging a call takes 60 to 90 seconds. Multiply by 20.

A rep makes 20 calls a day. Each disposition (summary, outcome, next step) takes 60 to 90 seconds. That is 20 to 30 minutes per rep per day on logging, and the quality drops because the rep is between calls. With the deal and the activity on the same Strkr surface, the rep captures outcome and next step in seconds, and the follow-up SMS fires from the same screen.

Follow-up SMS lives somewhere else

The dialer closes the call. The text goes through a different tool.

After a connected call, reps often send a short follow-up text ("great talking, calendar link below"). When the text goes through a separate messaging app, the thread disconnects from the account record. Strkr Messaging ships SMS and MMS natively on the account timeline so voice outcome and text follow-up live on one record.

Pipeline reporting lags reality

Deal stage updates stay in rep heads.

When the CRM is downstream of the dialer, stage advances and next steps batch up and often get skipped. Pipeline reports lag reality. Forecasts drift. A CRM that owns the pipeline view and ties call activity to deal progression closes the gap between what happened and what the record says.

Dialer analytics are blind to revenue

The dialer tool knows connects, not conversions.

Standalone dialers report on dials, connects, and talk time. They do not know which calls generated opportunities, which generated closed revenue, which generated expansion. Strkr reporting ties call activity to pipeline and revenue because the CRM owns the deal, so ROI on an outbound motion becomes answerable per rep and per campaign.

What Strkr covers today for dialer-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, flow automation, and reporting layer that your dialer plugs into. The cards below walk what is live now.

Keep your dialer, keep your contracts

Pair with the dialer your team already runs.

Strkr sits under the voice path. Reps dial from the dialer they prefer (Aircall, PhoneBurner, Dialpad, RingCentral, Outreach, Salesloft, Apollo). Call metadata and recording links push into the Strkr activity timeline via the integration layer. Notes, next steps, deal updates, and SMS follow-up all happen inside Strkr. The dialer handles voice; Strkr owns the deal.

Deal-centered activity timeline

Call, text, email, and stage move on one record.

When a call ends, the follow-up text, the next-step task, and the stage advance all live on the same deal record. Managers reviewing pipeline do not 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 ships SMS and MMS natively, with A2P 10DLC brand and campaign registration handled, toll-free number verification, STOP and HELP keyword enforcement, and per-contact consent state on every send. Pricing is 2 cents per SMS segment and 5 cents per MMS. The follow-up text that normally pairs with a call lands on the same record as the call.

Automation after a connected call

Fire a flow when the call activity logs.

The Strkr flow builder triggers on activity creation, deal field changes, inbound SMS reply, and dozens of other events. Common patterns: send an SMS follow-up when the call outcome is connected, 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-tied analytics

Dials, connects, meetings, deals, revenue in one view.

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 Strkr because the CRM owns the deal.

Strkr AI assistance on the record

Inbox buyer intent, email draft, forecast risk.

Strkr AI is an opt-in Enhancement module at 49 per month with 5,000 Strkr AI calls included. It covers inbox buyer-intent scoring, email draft assistance in the composer, fit scoring on contacts and accounts and deals, forecast risk signals on open deals, and release-note polish. Strkr AI picks the right model per task so buyers never configure a provider. Inline AI panels on the deal and account record are in pre-launch build.

The dialer-plus-Strkr workflow

How a rep runs a day of outbound with Strkr as the record.

The day looks different when the CRM owns the deal and the dialer owns the voice. The cards below walk through a specific SDR workflow at an 18-rep SaaS: 180 dials, 42 connects, 8 meetings booked over 6 hours of calling, with Strkr as the pipeline and SMS layer.

8 AM queue load

The daily call queue appears pre-sorted.

At 8 AM the SDR opens Strkr and the daily call list is already built: contacts prioritized by lead score, source freshness, and prior-call recency. The queue hands off to the external dialer or sales-engagement platform so the voice path runs through the tool the SDR already uses. The deal context stays open in Strkr while the dialer runs.

9 AM dialing block

70 dials, 18 connects, 2 meetings in the first 90 minutes.

The SDR runs through 70 contacts in 90 minutes using the existing dialer. 18 connect. 2 meetings get booked. 15 voicemails get left. 35 go to no-answer or busy. Each connected call ends with a short Strkr note, a stage advance where relevant, and an SMS follow-up fired from the account timeline.

10:30 AM break and review

The SDR reviews the morning on the Strkr dashboard.

The SDR takes a 15-minute break and reviews the morning dashboard: 70 dials, 18 connects, 2 meetings. One connected deal shows an elevated inbox buyer-intent score from Strkr AI. The SDR drafts a follow-up email with Strkr AI assistance referencing the call content before the next session.

11 AM second dialing block

Cold prospect list runs through the dialer.

The SDR runs a second dialing block through the external dialer. In 90 minutes the SDR runs 110 dials with 20 live connects. Call activity continues to log into the Strkr account timeline through the dialer integration layer. The SDR fires SMS follow-ups from Strkr Messaging after the connects where the prospect asked for a link.

1 PM lunch

Pipeline progress visible on the home dashboard.

The SDR goes to lunch and the Strkr home dashboard shows the day's progress: 180 dials logged from the dialer, 38 connects, 4 meetings booked, 20 voicemails. The pipeline shows the deals moved to the next stage and the deals that need follow-up this week.

2 PM email follow-up

The SDR drafts replies for the morning connects.

The SDR drafts follow-up email for the morning connects. Strkr AI drafts each email with the deal context attached. The SDR edits each in 30 to 60 seconds and sends through the Gmail or Microsoft 365 integration. The sent email logs on the deal.

3 PM third dialing block

Final 90 minutes of calls hits a new timezone.

The SDR runs a final 90-minute dialing block for West Coast prospects. Dials 60 contacts, 15 connect, 2 more meetings book. Day totals: 240 dials, 53 connects, 6 meetings. The dialer handled voice; Strkr owns the record of what happened per deal.

5 PM daily close-out

Strkr dashboard shows pipeline impact.

At 5 PM the SDR closes out. The Strkr dashboard shows the day's pipeline impact: 6 meetings booked, 4 of which are expected to generate opportunity records within 48 hours. The SDR did not re-key activity across tools; the dialer pushed metadata and the SDR filled context on each deal.

Manager pipeline review

Manager reviews the pipeline from Strkr.

The sales manager runs the pipeline review from Strkr. Call activity, deal progression, stage age, and forecast risk signals from Strkr AI (on the Enhancement module) all live on one surface. For call coaching, the manager jumps into the external dialer platform to listen to specific recordings, with the recording link pulled from the Strkr activity.

Compliance and SMS controls

What Strkr handles today for defensible outbound.

High-volume outbound attracts regulatory attention: TCPA in the US, PECR in the UK, equivalent rules elsewhere. Strkr covers the CRM and SMS side of the compliance posture today; the voice side runs through your existing dialer. The cards below are the controls teams running compliant outbound rely on daily inside Strkr.

Contact-level consent

Consent state and source tracked on every record.

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

STOP and HELP enforcement

Opt-out keywords honored automatically.

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

A2P 10DLC and TFN registration

Strkr Messaging handles the carrier compliance pipeline.

A2P 10DLC brand and campaign registration is handled inside Strkr Messaging. Toll-free number verification for TFN sending runs in the same pipeline. The tenant does not go set up the registration elsewhere; Strkr walks the admin through it.

DNC and calling-window on the dialer side

TCPA-compliant voice runs through your dialer vendor.

TCPA calling-window enforcement, DNC list sync, and recording consent disclosure for voice outbound run through your existing dialer vendor today. Strkr tracks consent and DNC state on the contact so the dialer can read it on dispatch, and the audit trail of what Strkr knew when sits inside the CRM.

Platform compliance posture

HIPAA with BAA, SOC 2 Type II in progress, GDPR, CCPA.

Strkr is HIPAA compliant with a BAA available. SOC 2 Type II is in progress with a target of 2026-Q4. GDPR and CCPA compliance covers the data-handling posture. AWS KMS encryption secures integration credentials (Shopify, Meta CAPI, Resend, webhook signing secrets). AWS Secrets Manager holds platform credentials.

Audit log

Every deal change, consent event, and message logged.

The audit log inside Strkr captures deal field changes, consent state transitions, SMS send and receive events, flow runs, and user activity. The log is retained for the configured retention period and surfaces as a report. For compliance review, the audit trail inside Strkr joins with the dialer vendor's own recording audit.

Head-to-head

Strkr-plus-your-dialer versus a legacy CRM plus Orum or Salesloft.

The common stack for high-volume outbound is a standalone dialer or sales-engagement platform paired with a legacy CRM through brittle API sync. Below is the head-to-head on what matters when the CRM is the system of record and the dialer is the voice path.

Feature Strkr Legacy CRM plus Orum or Salesloft
Deal record under the call Inline notes, stage, next step on the Strkr deal Deal lives in CRM, call context lives in dialer
Call logging back from dialer Metadata and recording link into the Strkr activity timeline Metadata via API; notes often manual
SMS and MMS follow-up Native via Strkr Messaging, 2 cents per segment, 5 cents per MMS Separate SMS tool or dialer vendor add-on
A2P 10DLC compliance Strkr Messaging handles brand and campaign registration Varies by SMS vendor
Automation after a call Flow builder triggers on activity and deal field changes Depends on CRM automation surface
Pipeline-tied analytics Dials, connects, meetings, deals on one surface Dialer dashboard separate from CRM reports
Strkr AI assistance Opt-in module 49/mo with 5,000 Strkr AI calls included Varies; often credit-metered on each surface
Native click-to-call On the Strkr roadmap for 2027-Q1 Inside the dialer tool
Native call recording On the Strkr roadmap for 2027-Q1 Inside the dialer tool
Billing structure Strkr seat line plus Strkr Messaging usage CRM seat plus dialer seat plus carrier
How teams use Strkr

How outbound-heavy teams actually run Strkr today.

The patterns below are motions live on customer accounts right now. The common thread: teams kept the dialer they were already paying for, consolidated the CRM and SMS onto Strkr, and saw cleaner reporting plus faster follow-up.

18-SDR team, cold outbound motion

Consolidated the CRM onto Strkr while keeping the existing dialer.

An 18-SDR team ran a standalone dialer plus a legacy CRM. The data sync was lossy and the manager spent Friday reconciling activity numbers. The team moved the CRM onto Strkr. Dialer stayed in place. Deal records, pipeline reporting, and SMS follow-up all consolidated onto Strkr. Daily dial logging completeness rose from 61 to 92 percent because the dialer metadata flowed in and reps filled the Strkr note and next step in seconds rather than minutes.

32-rep inside-sales team, SMS follow-up motion

Added Strkr Messaging after connected calls and lifted meeting-booked rate.

A 32-rep inside-sales team ran dials through an external 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 roughly 40 percent on the connected-call cohort, because the warm text caught prospects who said yes verbally but did not open email.

12-advisor wealth firm, outbound compliance

Centralized consent and DNC state inside Strkr.

A 12-advisor wealth firm runs regulated outbound to prospective clients. The compliance officer previously audited call logs weekly for TCPA calling-window compliance and DNC violations in a shared spreadsheet. The team moved consent state, source, and timestamp onto the Strkr contact record. The dialer vendor reads the Strkr record on dispatch and the audit trail inside Strkr covers the sent-side proof. Manual compliance review time dropped from 4 hours a week to 20 minutes of exception review.

60-rep mid-market, pipeline review discipline

Moved the Monday pipeline review onto Strkr.

A 60-rep mid-market team's Monday pipeline review used to pull activity from the dialer dashboard and deal state from the legacy CRM, with a sales ops analyst stitching the two in a spreadsheet. The team moved pipeline reporting onto Strkr. Activity volume (from the dialer integration), deal stage, forecast category, and Strkr AI forecast risk signals all surfaced on one Monday view. Pipeline review time dropped from 90 minutes to 35.

24-rep healthcare SaaS, HIPAA-aware motion

HIPAA posture inside Strkr covered the deal data path.

A 24-rep healthcare SaaS runs outbound to covered-entity prospects. Strkr's HIPAA posture (BAA available, encrypted integration credentials via AWS KMS, role-based access, audit log) covered the deal and SMS data path. Voice calls continued through the HIPAA-posture dialer the firm already had under contract. The combined pattern passed the firm's regulatory review for prospecting workflow.

Common questions

What buyers in this bucket ask most.

Does Strkr ship a native dialer today?

Not yet. Strkr is building native voice capability (click-to-call, power dialing, 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 can migrate the voice path onto Strkr Messaging at their own pace.

Can I keep using Orum, Nooks, PhoneBurner, Aircall, Outreach, or Salesloft with Strkr?

Yes. Strkr pairs with the dialer or sales-engagement platform your team is already on. Reps dial from the tool they prefer, and the call metadata (duration, outcome, timestamp, recording link) flows into the Strkr activity timeline. Deal updates, next steps, and SMS follow-up happen inside Strkr. The dialer handles voice; Strkr owns the record of the deal. For teams on Outreach or Salesloft that want to keep the sequence engine, the integration lets the sequence step fire the dial through the external tool and log the call outcome into Strkr.

What does Strkr Messaging cover today for outbound teams?

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 today; international sending capability varies by region and surfaces on the sender configuration page. Billing lives inside your Strkr invoice with no separate vendor contract.

How does Strkr handle outbound compliance across US states and international jurisdictions?

For SMS, Strkr enforces STOP and HELP server-side, honors per-contact consent state and timestamp, and handles A2P 10DLC and TFN registration inside Strkr Messaging. For voice, TCPA calling-window enforcement, DNC list sync, and recording consent disclosure run through your existing dialer vendor; Strkr tracks consent and DNC state on the contact so the dialer can read it on dispatch. On the platform side, Strkr is HIPAA compliant with a BAA available, SOC 2 Type II is in progress (target 2026-Q4), and GDPR and CCPA are covered.

How does Strkr AI help an outbound team?

Strkr AI is an opt-in Enhancement module at 49 per month with 5,000 Strkr AI calls included (0.012 per call above cap). For outbound teams it ships inbox buyer-intent scoring on new leads, email draft assistance in the composer, fit scoring on contacts and accounts and deals, forecast risk signals on open deals, flow description polish, and release-note polish. Strkr AI picks the right model per task so buyers never configure a provider. Inline AI panels on the deal and account record are in pre-launch build.

What is the pricing structure for a dialer-heavy team on Strkr?

Strkr seats are 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 sender numbers. Your existing dialer bill stays with your dialer vendor. The AI Enhancement module (optional) is 49 per month with 5,000 Strkr AI calls included. For a 40-rep team, the combined Strkr line is typically meaningfully lower than running a standalone CRM-plus-dialer-plus-SMS stack because the SMS, flow automation, and reporting lines consolidate inside Strkr.
