  Increased agent efficiency The most tangible benefit of an auto dialer is the huge increase in agent talk time per hour when compared to a non-dialer environment. Auto phone dialers work by making calls in a preset ratio of number of phone lines to agents.  The dialer makes calls in volume “behind the scenes” and then connects answered calls to available agents. The net result is that the agents experience a steady flow of connected calls throughout the day with a “talk time” of up to 40 or 50 minutes in the hour.  Customer service teams that do manual dialing typically achieve around 10-15 minutes talk time per hour. This is due to time wasted doing the following tasks: Dialing the phone number Manually dispositioning calls Listening to voicemails, busy tones and no-answer Leaving voicemails Scheduling call-backs The commercial benefit is easy to see: 200-300% more productivity per hour with an auto-dialer (compared to manual dialing).
