Power dialers that keep the next call moving.
Power dialers call the next number on a list as soon as a rep finishes a call. See how the tools that work this way compare, from each vendor's own site.
A power dialer moves through a list one contact at a time. When a call ends, it dials the next number without the rep typing anything. The rep still takes one call at a time, so there is no risk of two people answering at once.
That makes power dialing a middle step between clicking every number by hand and dialing several numbers at once. It saves the dead time between calls and keeps the rep in control of the pace.
Pace controls
Look for a way to set how long the dialer waits between calls, and whether a rep can pause or skip a contact.
What happens on no answer
Check whether it leaves a pre-recorded voicemail, moves on quietly, or schedules a retry, and whether that is configurable.
List handling
Check how lists are loaded, how duplicates are treated and whether a contact can be called twice in a day.
Reporting
Find out which call outcomes are logged and whether they sync to your CRM.
