Telemarketing Dialers

by Elisabeth Forsythe

It’s pretty obvious that in telemarketing, the more people you call, the better your sales can be. Reaching as many “live” prospects as possible can help you exceed sales quotas and grow your business. So how can you increase the number of potential customers contacted? The kind of telemarketing dialer you use can make the difference between a good sales day and a great one.

There are two main types of telemarketing dialers. The first one is: the telemarketer. The benefit of using your telemarketer to do your dialing is--actually, there really is no benefit, unless said salesperson is a guitar player and needs to build up calluses on his or her fingertips. The problem with having your sales staff dial numbers by hand is that not every call will connect to a real person. So your telemarketer wastes valuable minutes sifting through dead ends.

Using a computerized telemarketing dialer can be a great way to cut out downtime and maximize your agents’ work day. Predictive dialing software does the dialing automatically, taking note of busy signals, disconnected numbers, fax machines, and dropped calls. That means your telemarketers can concentrate on speaking to actual people all day long. Computerized telemarketing dialers can also delete invalid numbers out of your database, and maintain “no call” lists.

Scope Out Telemarketing Dialers

You didn’t hire your telemarketers based on who had the greatest finger dexterity, did you? You hired the people who could best pitch your sales campaign. Choosing a computerized telemarketing dialer can more than double the time your staff has to actually talk on the phone. And tell any musicians on staff--their hands will now be free for plenty of air guitar.
