Let’s be honest—when we talk about CRMs, automation, AI, and SaaS… no one’s first thought is desk phones.
But if you’ve ever worked with industries like dental offices, chiropractic clinics, or local medical practices, you know: they still love their physical phones.
And guess what? HighLevel just made that a feature, not a bug. 💥
Desk Phones Aren’t Dead (And That’s a Good Thing)
In the latest HighLevel town hall, Mario Aldayuz (aka the Partnerships Wizard over at HL Pro Tools) dropped some 🔥 updates—and this one stood out: HighLevel now supports integration with physical desk phones.
Yeah. Like, actual handsets.
For a lot of us in the agency world, it’s easy to assume every client is living inside Slack and Zoom. But the reality is, many front-desk teams still operate best with that trusty old-school desk phone right next to their keyboard.
Why This Integration Is a Big Deal
If you’re serving industries like:
- 🦷 Dental or medical practices
- 🏥 Chiropractors or wellness clinics
- 🧑💼 Local professional services with receptionists
This update just made your offer 10x more valuable.
Here’s why:
✅ You can now offer call routing, transfers, and voicemail directly through a handset.
✅ Receptionists can use the tools they’re already comfortable with—without fighting new tech.
✅ Clients get all the benefits of HighLevel’s CRM without ditching their daily workflow.
Real Talk From the Field
Mario put it perfectly: “You don’t need to force a modern workflow onto a traditional office. Instead, meet them where they are.”
This update bridges the gap between your high-tech automations and your client’s need for something tangible.
And as someone who’s onboarded dozens of local businesses, let me tell you—this kind of hybrid flexibility? It sells.
How to Use This to Win More Clients
Here’s what I’d do today if I were you:
- Identify any clients or prospects still using physical phones.
- Pitch the desk phone integration as a major upgrade, not a replacement.
- Offer to train their staff (or partner with us at HL Pro Tools to do it for you 😉).
- Bundle this into your service packages to justify a higher retainer.
This isn’t just a feature—it’s a sales tool.
