A power dialer is an automatic phone dialing tool for connecting customers with agents. This tool connects call center agents solely when a real person attends the call, which increases productivity remarkably.

What is Power Dialer?

It is an automatic tool that dials the numbers automatically and enables call centers to contact several clients or prospects with little effort. 

Dialing logic of power dialer:

This auto dialer dials a number to a particular phone number retrieved from the call center solution. If the Power Dialer connects to the busy line or voicemail, it proceeds to the subsequent number on the lead list and calls it. Once the call is connected to the real human, it is routed immediately to the agent. 

It is simple to use and automated. The agent only attends the call once the prospect or customer is connected. It is remarkably efficient as it saves time of agents from fetching and dialing the numbers one by one, and waiting for the real person to respond. Additionally, Power Dialer assures the superior quality of the call. It attempts the next call only if an agent is ready, so the connected prospects receive an immediate reply. Unlike a predictive dialer, the abandoned call ratio does not increase. There is nearly no likelihood of a dropped call because the power dialer dials phone numbers one by one. This maximizes talk time in the call centers and results in connecting with more people per hour.

The power dialer is ideal for all outgoing campaigns, from telesales to collection calls, follow-up calls, and customer care.

According to many call centers, they have experienced that Power Dialers perform adequately compared to other auto dialers in various cases particularly in B2B business.
