When you’re running an outbound call center, your dialer can make all the difference in how smoothly daily operations go. For older or smaller centers, your dialer may be as simple as the hands of your employees. However, larger and more modern centers rely heavily on automatic dialers - and choosing the right one can be difficult.

If you are in the market for an upgraded outbound dialer or simply want to introduce automatic dialing to your facility for the first time, it pays to know what you’re looking for.

With these in hand, you can make an educated decision about the technology that will drive your business forward into a more successful future!

Not sure which type of dialer is best for your center? Read on to learn more about each - and find the one that fits your needs!

Debt collection can be a difficult industry to work in. The consumers you are required to contact really don’t want to hear from you. Your call can inspire everything from anxiety to anger in those who receive it - and you’re just trying to do your job.

To make things even more stressful, debt collection can also be tedious. Many times, agents are stuck dialing number after number without ceasing, only to deal with disgruntled recipients and disconnections left and right. Wouldn’t it be great if there was a way to streamline the process?

With predictive dialer software for accounts receivable, there is. This technology uses the power of automation to make your agents’ workdays faster and easier - and keep debt collections moving in a positive direction.

Here’s what you need to know about using predictive dialer software for accounts receivable:

Working in debt collection means contacting people who don’t want to be contacted. Whether people are actively avoiding their debts or have simply forgotten them, reminding them that they owe your company or one that you are partnering with money is bound to elicit a reaction. Too often, that reaction is a negative one.

However, that doesn’t mean that debt collection efforts can’t be successful. In this industry, call quantity rules even over quality. This makes predictive dialer software for accounts receivable a natural choice.

Here’s more about why:

Productivity is perhaps the most important factor in success when it comes to being a contact center agent. The more calls you can make - correctly - the better suited you are to working in an outbound center. Quick fingers and quick minds make great agents!

However, there are plenty of tools and technology that make being a successful agent easier. One of the key elements of making enough calls in an outbound center is the right outbound calling software. In most of today’s centers, automated dialers are responsible for helping to make things happen.

What kind of automatic dialer could your center make the best use of - and what kind of impact would it have on your agents’ productivity? When you make the right choice of outbound calling software, the answer is a positive impact - one that you might have never seen coming!

In an outbound calling center, time is money. Every call your agents make is one more potential connection and one more possible sale. Every call that can’t be made because of a lack of time is one more loss to your business. So, how can you maximize what is getting done in your center and minimize lost time and productivity?

Here, we’ll introduce you to some techniques and technology that will help you make calls faster and create connections more effectively - all without making major changes to your work days!

What happens in your contact center when calls are coming in faster than you have the staff to handle? Ideally, this doesn’t ever happen in your call center. But if your facility is like most, you’ve been caught unprepared for peak times and seasons at least a few times before.

To better manage your peak times and keep your customers satisfied and well-served, it’s important to understand when and why these events happen and how to address them. It’s also important to have the tools to do so. Here, we’ll look at both factors in this equation - and how to set your facility up for success.

Outbound calling is a numbers game. The more numbers that your agent style, the more contacts that they will make, the more contacts that they make, the more of your product or service they will sell. However, the goal of outbound calls can be broken down to one simple line of text.

Reach as many qualified buyers as possible.

Don’t blame your agents, and don’t blame your managers for low call volume. Instead, take a look at your dialer and be honest. How long have you been using your current system? When was the last time you upgraded? What are your current KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) for agents and for the operation as a whole? It might be time to bring in a front to back call center solution and upgrade to a five-star predictive dialer system.

Preparing to activate a call center takes a lot more than just picking a provider buying some equipment and getting everything going. There are some unexpected nuances that owners, managers, and supervisors need to think about. One of the most important decisions is deciding what kind of dialing mode will work best with your operation. Whether you have a mixed-use call center with both inbound and outbound calls or an outbound call center with a separate customer service inbound line, choosing the best dialing mode solution for your business needs is a pretty big deal.
