Predator
Predictive Dialer
The Predator is a true
PC-based Predictive Dialing System. Much more than a traditional
auto dialer, Predator is designed to act as an outbound call center
that through a network implements TCPIP/IPX protocols. Callers
are instantly connected with live representatives. Representatives
have important information about customers they're speaking with
- the information instantly
popping-up on their screens.
By blending inbound and outbound call activities,
Predator keeps a steady stream of customers and/or potential customers
reaching your sales staff. If you're looking for a system that
will eliminate idle time for your sales team and a solution to
keep your productivity constant, Predator
is what you'll want. With Predator, you'll increase your productivity
without increasing your payroll.
Predator can handle as few as two agents and can
be expanded to meet the needs of call centers with hundreds of
agents. It is a cost effective tool designed for easy expansion
as your business grows. Whether your game plan dictates inbound
or outbound activities, or a combination of both, the Predator
can easily be configured to handle your workload in the manner
you want.

Call
Assignments
With Predator, you have complete
control over call assignments. Out bound calls can be assigned to
a variety of modes that include:
- Predictive Mode
(Predator calculates the required line-to-agent
ratio based on calling history.)
- Progressive Mode
(Agents
receive customer information screens and a call is then placed
after a specified amount of time.)
- Preview Mode
(Agents
receive customer information screens and a call is then placed
when the agent instructs the system to call.)
- Recall Mode (Recalls
are scheduled by the agent. Recalls receive priority over all
other outbound calls.)
- AutoDial/Message Mode
(In this mode Predator acts as an auto dialer. When the caller
presses a specified key, the call is transferred to an agent.
Remember, though, that unlike an auto dialer, the call will be
sent to the agent instantly.)
Automatic
Call Distribution
In Inbound
Mode, Predator sports automatic call distribution capabilities.
When inbound calls arrive, predefined messages prompt callers to
make a selection. Answered calls can be processed in different modes.
The called party is prompted to:
- Enter an extension
- Select a department
- Complete a questionnaire
- Utilize fax-back services (optional)
Multiple greetings are available
in ACD mode. Each greeting is based on the time-of-day and day-of-week.
Generally, inbound calls are assigned to groups of employees. Callers
are always given the option to reach a live operator. If a caller
is unable to reach their desired party, the call can be transferred
to another available agent. The system can be configured to automatically
transfer to the agent who has been idle the longest period.
If there is no agent available,
the call is transferred to a hold queue. While in the queue, music
can be played to callers or they can receive company or product
information. If the length of time in the queue exceeds a predetermined
limit, a caller can be piped to voice mail to:
- leave a message
- complete a survey
- utilize fax-back services
The optional fax-back - fax-on-demand
module allows you to preview faxes prior to sending them, and to
send your faxes without having to print copy. And your faxes can
be sent to 1 or 1000 clients.
Training
and Supervision
In training mode, a supervisor can
assist an agent while the agent is speaking to a customer. if desired,
the supervisor can listen to both parties' conversations - though
the customer can only hear the agent, allowing the supervisor to
assist and instruct the agent without the customer being aware.
A supervisor also has the capabilities to view contact and demographic
information to whom an agent is speaking, and is able to enter into
a conversation at any time.
Data
Management/Reporting
The supervisor is able to monitor
activities of all agents with respect to:
- talk time
- number of times logged in
- number of calls made
- average time duration before
receiving a call
- talk time on recalls
Predator can retain activity-related
information as long as you want. All hourly/daily information related
to the Predator system is available on a real time basis and can
be viewed by numbers or percentages. All system calls are tracked,
inbound and outbound and they're available by agent, called party
name, phone number, account number, result and date. Reports can
include caller ID (optional) and calling party information. Predator
captures the phone number,
date and time of inbound calls. You'll know who hung-up when you
answered the phone and and who's calling - even before you answer
a call.
Predator's database management system
is powerful, staightforward, and easy to use. It is also flexible
- campaign and agent assignment can be handled even when dialing
is in progress. Multiple databases can be added to the queue and
they can be added/updated at any time. Parties to be called can
be assigned to specific agents or assigned to a next-available agent.
Because of the straight-forward nature of the .DBF database structure,
setup and maintenance takes only a few minutes per day. Easily implemented
import screens support a wide variety of databases.
Line
Ratios
Predator
calculates a regularly updates the required line-to-agent ratios.
This allows a steady stream of calls piped directly to available
agents. Because of this expert-system analysis, Predator exceeds
the capabilities of other dialing systems by keeping
you agent-to-line ratio down.
