Infofree 4000 Record Limit & Power Dialer?

[Mick_Keyou]

For all of you who use infofree (you probably have the "Classic Plan" of unlimited records), would it make sense to get a power dialer now that the limit is 4000 a month?

That would equate to 200 calls a day. Seems like that wouldn't be enough calls to warrant a dialer, but I could be wrong.

A dialer is going to help you make around twice as many calls per hour. If you're going to be spending more than a few hours a week dialing, it seems like a no-brainer. There are a number of reasons why a dialer makes sense, but the bottom line is what is your time worth? Does the cost of a dialer justify you spending an extra X number of hours a week dialing to get the same amount of work done? If you take 10 hours a week dialing and then go on a dialer, over the course of a month you'll be 40 hours ahead. That's an entire week of full-time dialing you picked up for the cost of a dialer. That's the math.

You are assuming that you will call all 4000 records only once.

Let's look at this from extremes. If you are hand-dialing 4,000 names per month that is roughly 133 hours of dialing during your 8-10 hour work day. If you're hand-dialing 30 names a day each day that is one hour a day or 20 hours a month. With a dialer you can make those same 30 calls in five minutes. If you can't justify the cost of a multi-line dialer you can get a single line dialer or an hourly dialer very inexpensively and it will pay for itself in no time. Personally, I would rather have my fingernails pulled out with pliers than go back to hand-dialing. Good luck!

30 calls in 5 minutes? The ones I've used don't call that fast....

A 4-line dialer will average 400 dials per hour...6 calls per minute...6 X 5 minutes = 30 calls. Five minutes give or take a few, but keep in mind this is "dialing" time and this time will be longer as the dialer pauses when you get a live caller.

Okay, so now lets look at the math behind the math.... just to have some fun.

I can dial by hand for an hour, make 30 calls, talk to nobody.
I can pay $100+, dial for 5 minutes, talk to nobody.

Or, I can take the day off since I wasn't going to talk to anyone anyway.

I'll take the last option

Now your just making things...Yes you can dial by hand for an hour and not talk to someone and dial the same people in 5 minutes and not talk to anyone but that allows your dialer dial 11 times more people in the rest of the hour getting you someone to talk with.

I like your math. My wife, on the otherhand may tell me to go knock on some doors, but that's a whole different story.

Too funny djs. Let's look at the math behind the math of the math. If it takes you one hour to dial 30 people and you have a single line dialer you can dial an average of 100 people i.e. better odds of talking to someone. Day off sounds pretty good to me, too.
