An automatic dialer systematically dials phone numbers from a list of leads and connects the answered calls with available agents.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4130 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.revesoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/auto-dialer-working.jpg\" alt=\"auto dialer working\" width=\"1200\" height=\"665\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before launching a campaign, the agent needs to upload a list of prospects in the auto-dialer software. Then the \u2018Dial Rate Per Agent\u2019 is manually set up like 1:1 or 3:1 which means 1 number per agent and 3 numbers per agent. Then the phone numbers are dialed sequentially by the software and it connects the answered calls with the available agent. Auto dialers are capable of detecting disconnected numbers, busy signals, voicemails, and unanswered phone calls.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Predictive_Dialer\"><\/span>What is Predictive Dialer?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a type of auto-dialer that primarily aims at a higher calling rate by connecting with the maximum number of leads. A predictive dialer achieves this by initiating multiple calls simultaneously and directing answered calls to the available agents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This type of dialer makes use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to predict the availability of the agent based on the number of available agents, the average duration of the calls, the call abandonment rate, and various other real-time stats.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4137\" src=\"https:\/\/www.revesoft.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/predictive-dialer-working.jpg\" alt=\"predictive dialer working\" width=\"1200\" height=\"534\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Predictive dialers automatically dial a phone number even before the current call gets completed. This means that the agent can immediately move from one call to another, without wasting any time in-between. These dialers are a more evolved and sophisticated version of the traditional dialers as they make use of AI for their work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just like an auto dialer, the predictive dialer can also detect disconnected numbers, voicemails, answering machines, busy signals, and unanswered numbers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Predictive_Dialer_vs_Auto_Dialer_7_Key_Differences\"><\/span>Predictive Dialer vs Auto Dialer: 7 Key Differences<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This section chalks out the key differences between predictive dialer vs auto dialer.
