Where Sonik makes the difference for outbound teams

Allo gives you a phone line. Sonik gives your reps more conversations, more context and more pipeline from every call.

10
conversations per hour
Parallel dialing with no latency by design

Sonik was built for speed from day one. Several lines dial at once, voicemails and no-answers are skipped, and the rep is connected the instant a human picks up. Allo offers basic parallel dialing on top of a phone system designed for inbound calls.

+220%
impact on conversion
Call intelligence: from blind to smart

Before every call, Sonik qualifies the contact with AI: past experiences, signals from job offers, annual reports and latest communications. Reps open with context instead of a script. With Allo, there is no contact qualification and sales reps call blind.

x8
conversion with voicemail campaigns
Voicemail campaigns and referral intelligence

Leave voicemails at scale to turn cold lists into inbound calls. When a prospect mentions a colleague, Sonik finds that contact and their number and creates them in your CRM, doubling conversion on referrals. Neither exists in Allo.

€0.5
per contact found
Lead sourcing, coaching and industry insights
