What is a predictive dialer?
A predictive dialer forecasts when agents will become free and dials the next numbers in advance. Because many calls are not answered or reach voicemail, it dials more numbers than there are agents available. Only people who actually pick up are connected.
| Mode | How it works | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Predictive | Dials several numbers in parallel for the whole campaign and connects answered calls to the next free agent. | larger lists and teams, maximum talk time |
| Power | Automatically dials the next number for every free agent – no manual typing. | smaller teams, valuable contacts |
| Manual / click-to-call | The agent starts the call from the customer card. | callbacks, follow-ups, individual contacts |
