Meet Kaleyra’s Outbound Dialer: The Face Of Future Voice Communication

by | Sep 15, 2018

Keeping in touch with customers has become the most important thing for businesses in the new age. Manually dialing every customer is time-consuming and quite impractical. A majority of time is wasted manually dialing each contact and facing call waiting issues, redialing the numbers repeatedly, calls going straight to voicemail, or customers disconnecting the calls since they are busy. Approximately in an hour, agents can have only 40% of their time spent as productive. This will be a setback when you have many competitors in the market.

An outbound dialer can help automate these repetitive processes and boost agent productivity. Businesses who have switched to smarter platforms through Cloud telephony providers have seen increased talk time and reduced idle time.
