Predictive Dialers – Maximizing Human Interaction

Predictive dialers are many steps removed from their predessors,
the automatic dialers of the past. Whereas automatic dialing
allowed callcenter agencies to dial numbers quickly and
efficiently, predictive dialing also processes and makes use of
a whole range of information, linking callers to live voices
every single time. In fact, with predictive dialing, agents’
‘talk time’ has increased from an average of twenty minutes per
hour to fifty minutes per hour. This is a fabulous rate of
improvement – instead of wasting more than half of their time on
listening to busy signals and answering machine messages, agents
now spend the majority of their time engaged in producting
interaction. The dialer also manages the line to agent ratio by
pacing the call rate at the desired level. In this way, quotas
are met, and agents are neither idle nor overwhelmed. In other
words, because the hardware and software does its job, agents
are able to spend much more time doing theirs. And of course,
increased contact time means that the center’s goals are reached
much more quickly.

In many ways, it is still true that the real value of a call
center depends on its ‘human capital’ – the agents who interact
with clients and potential clients. The more the center’s human
capital is brought to the forefront, the more everyone benefits.
The aim of technology, therefore, is to maximize the time that
agents are able to spend doing what only they can do –
conversing, communicating, interacting. Predictive dialing and
other call center technology represents a perfect symbiosis
between person and machine.

A predictive dialing system is able to keep track of which
agents are available, while monitoring the responses to the
outgoing calls that it makes. Numbers that are busy,
disconnected, fax lines, or calls that are answered by machines
or voicemail systems are not connected to an agent. Only the
calls that are answered by a live voice are put through to an
agent, which means that the agent spends almost all of his or
her time on the line with a live person. Facilitating and
maximizing talk time is the goal of every call center.

The hidden benefit in all this is the fact that the agent is
much less likely to get bored or disheartened. Human contact is
important to everybody, and particularly to those who select
careers that highlight communication. Many of the agents who
choose to work in call centers are there precisely because they
are attracted to the work due to the fact that they have
excellent communication skills and enjoy interacting with
people. An endless stream of answering machines or busy signals
is bound to frustrate them. When they are able to spend fifty
minutes out of each hour actually interacting with clients,
however, the agents find that time goes by much faster and their
workday is more varied and interesting. Furthermore, they know
that their skills are valued, and that their company supports
them by investing in the appropriate technology.

Predictive dialing technology is improving all the time. One
problem that we occasionally still encounter is a short lag
between the time the outgoing call is answered and the time the
agent gets on the line. Generally, this is only a matter of a
few seconds, and some systems play a short recorded message
during this time. Nevertheless, any sort of lag time increases
the possibility that the potential client will become confused,
and that part of the agent’s talk time will be spent sorting out
the confusion. There is also the chance that the client may hang
up. Therefore, measures are being taken to speed up voice
connects and minimize this lag time to the point where it may
become imperceptible.

Predictive dialing has revolutionized call centers, and has the
potential to continue doing so. Calls are made much more
efficiently, employees are happier, and the goals of the call
center are likely to be me much faster. Now that this technology
is readily available (and improving all the time) it would be
almost unthinkable for any sizable call center not to invest in
predictive dialers.

Burlington, MA — June 22, 2010

OnState Communications, a provider of cloud-based virtual call center and virtual PBX solutions, today announced the company has released the Spring ’10 version of its SaaS solution. Included in the new release are features that provide call center administrators greater visibility and control, and give call center agents greater flexibility and choice. Key features available in the Spring ’10 release include visual analytics and other management and reporting enhancements, new network-based call recording functionality, plus a number of agent productivity improvements.

Administrator Insight

Graphical elements have been added to OnState management dashboards to make it even easier for administrators and supervisors to observe agent performance and call center productivity. New color-coded performance Gantt charts let managers monitor agent activity and gauge call center responsiveness at-a-glance. Visual analytics help managers assess service levels and evaluate agent performance more quickly and easily so they can ensure the call center is operating in an optimal fashion and maintaining the highest levels of customer satisfaction.

Enhanced Supervisor Reporting and Control Capabilities

OnState real-time and historical reports have been enhanced to give administrators and supervisors even greater visibility into call center performance and agent productivity. Summary and detail level reports include additional information to help managers better evaluate staffing levels and service quality. New control features help managers maintain productivity and performance by overriding an agent’s state. For example, an administrator can log off a home-based agent who forgot to sign off at the end of his shift or log in an on-duty agent who has been on break for too long.

Network Recording on All Device Types

Calls using any device type–including landlines, mobile phones, SIP phones, and Internet phones like Skype and GTalk–can now be recorded in the network and stored using a variety of cloud-based, cost-effective options like Amazon, Salesforce or Google. If desired for security or compliance reasons, calls can also be stored on a server housed within a customer’s data center. Regardless of location, OnState customers can now enjoy the convenience, security and reliability of a network recording service that preserves critical customer recordings for quality control or compliance purposes.

Agent Convenience and Usability Enhancements

OnState’s Spring ’10 release gives call center agents more flexibility and choice in devices and communication and collaboration clients. Agents can now use multiple endpoints – POTS phone, PBX phone, mobile handsets, SIP endpoints, Skype, GoogleTalk – with configurable call-handling rules. For example, a field-based sales rep may choose to use a PBX phone when in the office, a mobile phone while on the road, and a POTS phone when working from home.

Pat Kelly, CEO of OnState, said, “OnState believes business communications should be about people, not phones. We optimize customer service and agent productivity by connecting customers to the right person, at the right time, regardless of network or device. The Spring ’10 release extends productivity and service quality even further by improving administrator insight and giving agents the flexibility and freedom they need to provide the best possible customer service.”

In conjunction with the Spring ’10 release, OnState is also announcing a native force.com version of its virtual call center and virtual PBX solutions. OnState customers using Salesforce.com professional or enterprise edition can now run virtual call centers and virtual PBXs within Salesforce.com by using OnState’s native application.

Five Advantages to a Virtual Call Center

You may have already heard of the option of paying for a virtual call center.  Yes, it is an extra expense, and no one likes the idea of paying for something they don’t need.  However, you have to ask yourself: can you really afford not to look into this when customer service is so important nowadays?  Here are five advantages to ordering a virtual call center, that not only help save you money, but could also help increase your income.

1. A Virtual Call Center is Cheaper than Cheap Labor

Just think of how much it takes to hire a staff of receptionists—or even one receptionist!  We’re talking 0,000 a year easily.  Even half of that amount might be more than you can afford.  When you work with a virtual answering service, you are not paying a person’s salary—the company does that.  No, you are paying for the calls that are actually made.  Your total expenses will be a fraction of a full yearly salary.

2. A Virtual Call Center is Always Available

A remote call service is always available with an agent ready to take calls—and that includes weekends, nights and holidays.  When you order this type of service you are not just paying for one person’s help.  You are buying an entire company’s assistance, and they can guarantee a professionally trained operator at a moment’s notice.

3. A Virtual Call Center is Friendly

Personal answering machine messages, not matter how “personal”, just cannot compare with the human touch.  Your customers want to know that they are appreciated and “worth” a human being’s conversation.  Having a voice mail message is almost inconsiderate in modern times. 

4. A Virtual Call Center Lets You Customize Everything

Working with a remote call center lets you customize everything the operator will say, from answers to common questions, to greetings to even a call holding message.  Your customers won’t be able to tell they are dealing with a remote service.  For all they know, this operator is right there in your office!

5. A Virtual Call Center Can Instantly Deliver an Important Message

Last but not least, consider the advantage of message screening.  You can choose whether to deliver important messages to you via email, voice mail, text messaging or direct transfer.  You can use this for screening calls or just to respond to each message personally.

It’s like having your own personal secretary—at a fraction of an employee’s price!
