Predictive dialers can significantly increase the performance of outbound dialling. The most common issue the call centres that we speak to experience, is the amount of dead time agents have while waiting for calls, as well as how campaign data is used and managed.
Software, such as VICIdial, are used to make multiple outbound calls per agent to the data in your campaigns, and then connect answered calls to the agents.
The main difference between a predictive dialler, and other sorts of voip dialling tools such as progressive, is that they use complex algorithms to calculate how many calls to make at any one given time to ensure that agents aren’t constantly waiting for calls.
So how much does predictive dialing improve agent wait times?
Manual dialling will generally net agents around 12 minutes of talk time per hour, and 42 minutes waiting for people to answer. The other 6 is generally spent wrapping up after a call.
A predictive dialler on the other hand, results in 42 minutes of talking per hour, and 12 minutes of waiting. That’s an increase of almost 400%. 4 times as many calls per hour, taking the average talk time of a 8 hour shift from 1.6 hours of talking to 5.6 hours!
Why Use An App?
The most obvious reason for using a predictive dialler, such as the one offered by Blue Telecoms, is cost. The initial outlay for an onsite system is usually in the range of £100,000! Even more if you opt for call technology such as ISDN.
In addition, it can take weeks to plan and install an onsite system, whereas as long as you have a stable internet connection at your office, a hosted dialer can be up and running in hours.
As far as maintenance and upgrades go, Blue Telecoms wins there too. There’s usually no further costs for maintenance and upgrades to our hardware, and most of the software. Onsite system would require a specialist to come out and perform the work, or to have a specialist member of staff, or even a team to carry out the tasks.
And, if you ever decide to expand, a dialer system can be expanded with usually no disruption to your call centre, and can be done almost as quickly as the initial setup, whenever you want.
