Maximize Your Engagement with the Sierra Dialer
Enable the Sierra Dialer to call, text, voicemail drop, and auto-log activities directly from your user profile.
Why This Feature Matters
The Sierra Dialer is essential for real estate professionals aiming to enhance communication and lead engagement. Traditional phone systems can lead to missed connections and inefficient tracking of client communications. With the Sierra Dialer, you can save time and effectively manage leads, ensuring every call counts.
Real-world Examples:
- A real estate agent who regularly uses the dialer can respond to inquiries promptly, leading to increased client satisfaction.
- Agents can scale outreach to leads due to the ease of logging calls directly in the system.
The Sierra Dialer enhances communication and lead engagement by allowing you to:
-
Make and receive calls using a protected dialer number
-
Automatically log call activity
-
Drop voicemails and send texts
-
Route calls and texts based on lead-agent assignment
-
Customize voicemail greetings and voice message templates
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Enable the Sierra Dialer at the Account Level
A Manager-level User must first enable the dialer system-wide.

Click the Voice and Text tab in your profile menu.
Step 3: Enter Your Phone Number

3. How Inbound & Outbound Dialer Routing Works
-
Outbound calls/texts/voicemails: Display the assigned Buyer’s Agent or Listing Agent Dialer Number, never your personal phone
-
Inbound calls/texts:
-
Sierra matches the caller ID to a registered lead
-
If matched, the communication is routed to the assigned agent
-
If reassigned later, future calls from that lead will route to the new assigned agent
-
5. Unlock Additional Voice & Text Features
Once verified, access more tools in the Voice and Text tab:
-
Set up Incoming Voicemail Greeting → How to Record an Incoming Voicemail Greeting
-
Use Voice Message Templates → Using the Voice Messages Manager
