Mission

The PhoneBurner Story

Delivering meaningful conversations since 2008

PhoneBurner's US-based remote team of software engineers, programmers, and sales professionals are united in a single mission – to help people using the phone as a relationship-building and selling tool, to do it better. We measure success in meaningful conversations.

PhoneBurner is a technology company in practice. We're a people business at heart. That means our dialer doesn't call numbers at will and frustrate live answerers with abrupt recordings or awkward connection delays. It drives results by helping salespeople be smarter, fresher, better organized, and more productive on the phone - with functionality and ease-of-use that has always set us apart.
