I ran my own bedrijf phone on Quo for eight months and tested every feature here.
These screenshots and steps come from daily use, not vendor marketing.
Quo is an AI-powered bedrijf phone and communication platform for small teams.
Most people set up one phone number and never touch the rest.
This guide on how to use quo.com walks through every major feature.
Stap voor stap, met screenshots en professionele tips.
Quo Tutorial
This tutorial moves from simple setup to the advanced features that make you fast.
Quo
Set up a business number in minutes and share it with your whole team. Quo powers conversations for over 90,000 businesses, and its Sona AI agent answers calls 24/7. Plans start at $15 per user.
Getting Started with Quo
Finish this one-time setup before touching any feature below.
Het duurt ongeveer drie minuten.
Here is what the first week looked like for me:
Laten we nu elke stap eens nader bekijken.
Stap 1: Maak uw account aan
Go to the Quo website and click “Get Started.”
Voer uw werk-e-mailadres in en maak een wachtwoord aan.
✓ Controlepunt: Controleer uw inbox for the confirmation email.
Step 2: Install the Apps
Quo runs on mobile, web, and desktop apps.
Install the iOS or Android app, then the desktop app on your computer.
Zo ziet het dashboard eruit:
✓ Controlepunt: The same conversations appear on every one of your apparaten.
Step 3: Claim Your Number
Pick a new number with a local area code, or start the porting process.
Porting keeps your old business phone number active while the carrier transfers it.
Quo gives step-by-step guidance during phone system setup, so nothing is guesswork.
My own porting process felt reliable, and the old line never dropped a call.
✅ Klaar: Account, apps, and number — all that in one sitting.
How to Use Quo Core Calling Features
Core Calling Features let you place and receive calls from any device you own.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Open the Dialer
Tap the keypad icon in the mobile app.
The mobile app offers three ways to make calls: keypad, contacts, and recent threads.
Step 2: Pick the Number You Call From
Tap the “From” field to switch between your active numbers.
Zo ziet het eruit:
✓ Controlepunt: Customers see your business number, never your personal one.
Step 3: Turn On Call Recording
Open Settings, then enable call recording for the numbers you want.
✅ Resultaat: You can place and receive calls with recorded audio on file.
💡 Pro-tip: Call quality depends on your internet connection, so test on Wi-Fi first.
How to Use Quo Phone Menu & Routing
Phone Menu & Routing lets you send each caller to the right person automatically.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Open Phone Menu Settings
Go to Settings, pick a phone number, then choose Phone Menu.
Step 2: Map Each Key to a Destination
Assign key 1 to sales, key 2 to support, key 3 to billing.
Zo ziet het eruit:
✓ Controlepunt: A test call reaches the destination you mapped.
Step 3: Record Your Greeting
Record a short greeting, then save the menu.
✅ Resultaat: Callers reach the right desk without a receptionist.
💡 Pro-tip: Custom hold music ships on all plans, so callers hear you, not silence.
How to Use Quo Team Collaborator
Team samenwerking lets colleagues work one shared inbox without stepping on each other.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Stap 1: Nodig je teamleden uit
Open Members, then send invites by email.
Step 2: Share the Number
Add those members to a number so it becomes one of your shared numbers.
Zo ziet het eruit:
✓ Controlepunt: Multiple team members can access the same inbox to answer calls or reply to texts.
Step 3: Use Internal Threads
Tag a teammate inside a thread to hand off the follow up.
✅ Resultaat: Your team can collaborate on one phone number without duplicate replies.
💡 Pro-tip: A shared inbox is a game changer for growing teams that hate voicemail tag.
How to Use Quo AI Call Transcriber
AI Call Transcriptions turn every recording into tekst you can search later.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Enable Transcriptions
Switch on transcripts in Settings under your number.
Quo transcribes voicemails and missed calls automatically.
Step 2: Open a Finished Call
Click any completed call to read the transcript beside the audio player.
Zo ziet het eruit:
✓ Controlepunt: You see a summary with key takeaways and action items.
Step 3: Review AI Call Tags
AI call tags label each call by topic or sentiment.
✅ Resultaat: Every conversation becomes searchable text instead of a lost memory.
💡 Pro-tip: Researchers run user interviews here, since Quo records audio and writes the transcript.
How to Use Quo Analytics and Oversight
Analytics and Oversight shows you call volume, response times, and team activity.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Stap 1: Open het tabblad Analyse.
Click Analytics in the left sidebar of the web or desktop app.
Step 2: Filter by Number and Date
Pick a phone number, then set the date range you care about.
Zo ziet het eruit:
✓ Controlepunt: You can see which hours bring the most calls.
Step 3: Compare Team Members
Switch the view to per-member stats to spot slow replies.
✅ Resultaat: You can manage staffing with real numbers, not guesses.
💡 Pro-tip: Staff your busiest shift first, then fix the quiet hours later.
How to Use Quo Mini CRM
Mini CRM keeps contact details and notes right beside each conversation.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Stap 1: Importeer uw contacten
Upload a CSV, or sync contacts from Google.
Step 2: Add Custom Properties
Create fields like company, deal stage, or renewal date.
Zo ziet het eruit:
✓ Controlepunt: Each thread shows who the customer is at a glance.
Step 3: Connect Your Real CRM
Quo connects with HubSpot and Salesforce, so call histories log themselves.
✅ Resultaat: Contacts, notes, and text threads live in one place.
💡 Pro-tip: Spreadsheet syncing works too, which is handy for small companies on a budget.
How to Use Quo Auto-Attendant
Auto-Attendant greets callers when nobody on your team is free.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Set Business Hours
Define open hours per number, including weekends.
Step 2: Turn On the Sona AI Agent
Enable Sona, the ai agent that answers calls 24/7 to capture leads.
Zo ziet het eruit:
✓ Controlepunt: A test call after hours gets answered, not dropped.
Step 3: Review Captured Details
Sona captures caller details and summarizes each conversation for you.
You start each morning with confidence, without worrying about the calls you missed.
✅ Resultaat: You stay reachable overnight without hiring a night desk.
💡 Pro-tip: Every plan includes the Sona ai agent, so test it before you upgrade.
How to Use Quo Call Routing Tool
Call Routing decides which device or person rings first.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Choose a Routing Style
Ring everyone at once, or ring people in order.
Step 2: Order Your Team
Drag colleagues into the order you want them called.
Zo ziet het eruit:
✓ Controlepunt: An unanswered ring moves to the next person on the list.
Step 3: Add a Fallback
Send unanswered calls to voicemail or to Sona.
✅ Resultaat: Nothing rings into an empty room.
💡 Pro-tip: Sequential routing suits two-person shops; simultaneous suits busy support desks.
How to Use Quo Text Messenger
Text Messaging lets your whole team handle texting from one business number.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Open a Thread
Click the pencil icon and type a contact name.

Write the message, add an image if needed, then send.

Quo Common Mistakes to Avoid
Mistake #1: Cancelling Your Old Service Too Vroeg
❌ Fout: You cancel the old carrier, then start the porting process.
✅ Rechts: Keep the old line paid until the port completes, then cancel it.
Mistake #2: Giving Every Person a Private Line
❌ Fout: Each person gets a private number, so nobody can cover a sick day.
✅ Rechts: Run one main line as a shared inbox, then add private numbers after.
Mistake #3: Ignoring Your Network Before a Big Call
❌ Fout: You take a client call on café Wi-Fi and the audio breaks up.
✅ Rechts: Check your internet connection first, or dial over mobile data instead.
Quo Troubleshooting
Problem: Choppy Audio on Calls
Oorzaak: Call quality depends on connection strength, and weak Wi-Fi makes calls break.
Repareren: Move closer to the router, or switch the call to mobile data.
Problem: Texts Are Not Delivering
Oorzaak: US carriers filter unregistered numbers, and this can happen on brand new lines.
Repareren: Finish A2P registration in Settings and wait for carrier approval.
Problem: Calls Ring Nobody
Oorzaak: Routing points to a member who is off duty or logged out.
Repareren: Edit the ring order, then add Sona as the fallback answer.
📌 Opmerking: If none of these fix your issue, contact Quo support.
Wat is Quo?
