Purchasing a Hosted Predictive Dialer

Before the outbound call centers think of buying a hosted predictive dialer system, there are several factors that must be noted. You must get a hosted predictive dialer that is the most suitable for your outsourcing call center and fits the work ambience. You must have all the relevant information pertaining to any technology or predictive dialers, when you want to adopt that particular technology or system for your outsourcing call center.

The outbound call centers have to first find out what the solution is going to cost them and also if the contact center has control over the accumulating costs. The managers and supervisors at the outbound call centers must also find out for what they will be charged and how they will be charged. Find out what the charges of the calls on a minute basis are and if the customer call that ends quickly will be charged as a full minute even if the agents and the customer has spoken for just half a minute.

All the vendors offering the predictive dialer system to the contact centers will try to make it appear as they are the industry leaders and their solutions are the best. The managers and supervisors should be able to judge and do their research well, even if the vendors make the deal sound too good. The managers must find out the shortest billing period, which is offered by the vendors and must also know the consequent billing duration of the vendor. This will enable the contact center to assess the total cost of ownership easily.
