“Click-to-call: Call prospects directly from profiles, tasks, and sequences.”
“Call recording: Record calls manually or configure automatic recording, subject to organizational settings.”
“Call logging: Automatically associate calls with prospect records.”

“Call management: Hold, transfer, call waiting, and additional participants.”
