What is a Predictive Dialer?
Predictive dialers are outbound calling systems that automatically dial from a list of phone numbers. It is designed to place the maximum amount of calls in the shortest span of time by screening through busy signals, voicemail, ghost calls, and disconnected numbers.
Businesses should always be on the lookout for methods to maximize agent efficiency in any way possible. Minimizing agent downtime between calls result in a steady increase in overall average contacts per hour which hopefully leads to improved revenues.
Predictive dialers use statistical algorithms to regulate any and all necessary information in order to reduce agent downtime. It has information on average call length, the number of available agents, available lines, and even the average number of calls it takes to finally have someone answer.
Predictive dialers help maximize productivity by keeping agents in a continuous, steady stream of phone calls. A predictive dialer even handles answering machines, address busy signals, call agents, and deal with wait times.
These are the top predictive dialers you can try.
