When conducting a political survey to encourage more people to vote, agents have highly personalized conversations to understand what hinders people from voting. After collecting these problems, they follow up with their contacts to provide a solution for them. In this case, power dialing is the best option, as it leaves enough time for agents to take notes, update the database and find the solutions for their contacts’ issues.
In debt collection campaigns, predictive dialing is recommended for various reasons. First, the database of such projects tends to be massive – waiting to be connected with a contact could add up to hundreds of hours wasted. Second, the system filters out disconnected or unanswered calls, saving even more time. Third, agents can guide customers with scripts and do not need preparation time between each call. Lastly, the length of the calls tend to be similar, which is ideal for the dialer’s algorithm.
For subscription renewals, outbound IVR is ideal. Customers can perform the necessary actions independently through the IVR interface or connect with an agent if they have complex issues. Outbound IVR is often used for reminders, promotional messages and surveys, too.
