Twilio "Be Local" Demo - Take 1 (audio missing)

"Be Local" is a Twilio + Salesforce mashup that enables Click-to-Talk, with a local caller id.

In this demo, C.J. shows how easy it is to use the new "Be Local" Click-to-Talk application within Salesforce. Although the audio failed as we were rushing to meet the Twilio Developer Contest deadline, you can get the general idea. C.J. is in Burlington, Ontario, Canada, and she sells Canadian winter hats. She wants to call her customer Alex, who lives in Los Angeles, California With just one click, "Be Local" connects CJ to Alex with a local caller id. "Be Local" first calls C.J. in Canada, then calls Alex in Los Angeles, and connects the two together.

When we cut to Alex in LA. He's watching the Superbowl and he gets a call ... he notices its a local number, so he decides to take the call. Yippee! C.J. makes another sale. Thanks "Be Local". ... and thanks Twilio!
