Autodialer

[eza4short]

I know that the autodialer has a restriction when call residential area but I also know that you can use it to call business. I was wondering from people with experince is this a effective way for collecting leads in Health /life market . If people are using it today for a means of collecting leads any fgeed back would be great

I really don't see the dialer as an asset to collecting leads. It presents the agent with a more efficient way of making more calls.

The number of leads you glean from the calls is going to depend on how effective you are when making the calls. If you have an extremely good telephone presentation then the dialer will enable you to make your presentation to a greater number of people in a shorter period of time.

I believe it is all about the agent's ability to "give good phone" as to whether or not he/she is able to generate leads.

Also true for selling FE over the phone. (Although Jdeasy would disagree..even though he's never even tried it).

Referencing the law, I believe he's talking about AUTO dialer instead of PREDICTIVE dialer. One is an autonomous robot, making the calls without human interaction. The other is a dialing tool in order to save the 10 digit human dialing exercise, nothing else.

Autodialer is doing no good for me. It's still better to be human though.

Just to clear things up, the auto dialer is the latter definition, and the predictive dialer is the former. IOW, MOJO is a predictive dialer, making calls without human help simultaneously on several lines, presenting an answered call for the agent to pickup... whereas Cheetah Speedy Dialer is an autodialer which dials your calls on a single line sequentially and then hands you off to the prospect on an answered call.

The MOJO is more expensive, but more efficient (especially if used by a call center with several agents working multiple seats), whereas the Cheetah is more cost effective for an Indy agent working solo. Also, predictive dialers will sometimes get more responses than the agent or agents can handle, and this is the rub. In this case, the law requires users of predictive dialers to keep those "dropped" calls to less than 3%, and maintain records to prove it. Using an autodialer (live) with the agent answering each response will not be subject to "dropped" calls.

Autodialers may be used improperly to call people and leave only a pre-recorded message. This is the problem many state laws and the FCC are trying to prohibit. Using an autodialer simply to speed your dialing is not illegal if you work it live. Unmonitored calls are disgusting to almost everyone except the idiots that use them.

Will Dialers work with voip, such as Skype?

It's still better with a human and always will be! Trick is finding the right ones.

Yes and no, depends on the system you're using. The dialer I use has the phone service integrated with a voip provider, but it's not skype or vonage or anything like that and if I even tried it they would get upset.

Yes. Skype and MagicJack for sure.

Yes. Skype and MagicJack for sure.

What are you talking about?

There are some so called "autodialers" that use a phone line, but those aren't capable of handling any real call volume using only a single line. With Skype and MagicJack you can use them to call into a dialer like mojo, but it's not actually doing the autodialing.

Both Skype and MagicJack also have in their terms of use restrictions that would prevent them from being used in any serious way. Skype will only let you make calls to 50 different numbers in a day and a total of 6 hours. So how exactly will that work with an autodialer? If my predictive dialer is set on manual mode (calling only one number at a time) it can easily kill 50 numbers in under an hour. You also would not be able to dial 4 lines at a time.
