How to use a Predictive Dialer?

Increase the number of calls by 3X and improve your agents' productivity by minimizing idle time. Works best with six or more agents.

Predictive Dialer makes sure that your Agents/Volunteers are fully engaged and that you can reach a large number of audiences.  Based on the number of live Agents, pickup rate, percentage of dropped calls, and average call handling time, Predictive Dialer algorithms calculate exactly when it should make the next call and assign it to the available agent.

As the dialer only connects agents to answered calls, your agent's time isn’t wasted on listening to dial tones of unanswered calls, invalid numbers, and fax machines. Click here to learn more about the dialers used in CallHub.

Note: It is recommended to use Predictive Dialer only if you have six or more agents for a single campaign.

Agent Occupancy Rate = Agent Total Talk time / Agent Total connect time

Drop Rate:

Drop rate is measured as the ratio of the number of calls dropped when an agent isn't available to the total number of calls made.
