Predictive Dialer

A Predictive Dialer is a component of business phone system, generally in a Call Center environment, that dials automatically a list of telephone numbers (a client or prospect list) and connects live callers automatically to an available Call Center Agent.

The predictive dialer uses a sophisticated algorithm which learns the unique calling patterns of a call center, predicts availability of call center agents, dials the appropriate amount of telephone numbers and maximizes the time agents spend speaking with live callers.

The dialer uses this information to maximize the time call center agents speak with live callers.… Continue Reading

Remember when Disneyland implemented “FastPass”? FastPass allows visitors to take a ticket for a particular ride at a certain time in the future, eliminating the wait in line. You just go back to the ride at the scheduled time and get right on the ride.

FastPass is similar to a Call Queuing used in Call Center phone systems. While you are waiting to speak with an agent, the call queue, through periodic announcements, informs callers how long they can expect to wait before speaking with “the next available agent.” The caller can either continue to hold, leave a voice mail message or hang up.
