How a Predictive Dialer Can Integrate with Salesforce

There are a range of dialer strategies for inbound, outbound, and blended contact centers. There's the power dialer that automatically dials a fixed ratio of calls per agent; the more dynamic progressive dialer that automatically adjusts the number of calls per agent based on answer rate and availability; preview dialing, typically used in contact centers where agents need time to familiarize themselves with the context of the customer relationship before dialing; and the predictive dialer, the most sophisticated of the strategies, that anticipates agent availability and dials proactively.

Prepackaged Salesforce Integration

As it is best suited for large teams, a predictive dialer builds on the progressive dialer by dialing in advance before a live agent is available. Its advanced algorithms can predict when a live agent will become available and adjust call rates to ensure there is a new customer on the phone when ready. It consistently minimizes the time spent dialing numbers and waiting for no-answers, and increases the amount of time spent talking to real prospects and customers.

Most predictive dialers offer ready-to-go integration with Salesforce and other leading CRM providers including Oracle, Zendesk, Microsoft Dynamics, and ServiceNow.

Browser plug-ins can also empower your salespeople, service representatives, and contact center agents inside a single Salesforce desktop.

Let's take a closer look at the features of a predictive dialer including:

• On-Screen Customer Details
  • Instant screen pops provide agents with customer details and history from corresponding Salesforce records prior to accepting the interaction. Agents know who they're talking to, can greet a customer by name, and are ready to move the conversation forward without wasting time on preliminaries or switching screens.
• Campaign And List Integration
  • Integrate Salesforce campaigns, calling lists, and Five9 predictive dialing to boost sales leads and conversion rates.
