2. What is a Power Dialer?
⬢ Speed Dialing is when an agent automatically prepares and selects the next caller.
When an agent completes a call, the Power Dialer dials the following number in the
data, eliminating the time lost between the end of one ring and the beginning of the next.
In this mode, multiple numbers are automatically dialed simultaneously for each agent,
and the call is only connected when the agent answers. However, unlike predictive
dialing mode, the auto-dial method does not automatically set the dialing level.
⬢ Without auto-dial mode, operators would have to search and select the destination of
the next call, which would inevitably result in interruptions between calls. The
company's practice of searching the list of numbers to dial and manually entering the
following number may seem like a minimal delay, but the data collected suggests
otherwise. Whether it's a large organization or a few agents, the seconds, minutes, and,
ultimately, hours can quickly add up and significantly impact long-term performance.
3. What is a Predictive Dialer?
A predictive dialer automates the launch of outbound calls. As the
name suggests, it does much more than that. Predictive dialers use
advanced algorithms calculated with real-time analytics to predict
agent availability and the likelihood of a successful call, thereby
reducing downtime.
In addition, the predictive dialer system disconnects unsuccessful
calls before the agent transfers the call. It means that agents only
share completed calls with new active customers. In addition, the
transfer is fast and smooth and does not involve the downtime
associated with the traditional manual approach.
4. What is Predictive Scheduling?
⬢ Predictive scheduling can also automate the outbound call initiation
process. As the name suggests, it is a slightly more hands-on solution.
Predictive programming uses complex algorithms to predict agent
availability and the probability of a successful call, reducing downtime
through real-time analytical calculations.
In addition, Predictive Dialer disconnects unsuccessful calls before the
agent connects to the ring. In other words, agents only transfer
completed connections to new active customers. In addition, this
transfer is done quickly and smoothly without the downtime associated
with traditional manual methods.
5. Differences Between Predictive Dialing
and Power Dialing
⬢ Regarding advanced dialing and predictive dialing, the two systems are similar but
offer different approaches to the automated outbound dialing process. Specifically,
predictive dialing builds on the critical features of the voice dialer, further reducing
downtime during live calls.
⬢ Some of the critical features of predictive dialing software, as opposed to automatic
dialing software
⬢ Intelligent Automation
⬢ Connect Agents Only to Calls in Progress
⬢ Variable Speed Dialing
⬢ Maximum Performance
6. ⬢ Whether advanced or predictive dialing, call center efficiency can be
dramatically improved by automating processes that reduce agent productivity
and impede operational efficiency.
For most outbound call centers, predictive dialing is the most effective
software option, as it works intelligently with agents to increase productivity
and help achieve business goals. However, automated dialing is a great way to
increase productivity and the number of contacts per day for much smaller
businesses.
