Automate outbound dialling and boost call efficiency.

What is a Predictive Dialler?

MaxContact’s predictive dialler software helps contact centres handle high outbound volumes efficiently and compliantly. Predictive call dialling uses intelligent pacing, accurately predicting agent availability. 

It dials multiple numbers at once but only connects agents when a person answers. If your objective is to minimise downtime, have more conversations, and run fast and efficient call campaigns, our predictive dialler can help.

And did you know, predictive dialling is just one of the powerful modes available in our platform. Explore our full auto dialler software and see how you can automate and refine every part of your outbound strategy.

How does predictive dialling work?

Behind the scenes, our algorithm continually analyses campaign performance and agent activity to adjust the dialling rate in real time. So if no agents are available to take the call, the system slows down to prevent dropped or abandoned calls, keeping you fully Ofcom-compliant while maintaining speed and performance.

Benefits of a Predictive Dialler

Spend less time dialling, more time talking to contacts

Automate outbound calls and eliminate manual dialling. Connect agents only when a live person answers to reduce wait time and increase talk time. This often leads to more sales or higher debt collection rates.

Built-in compliance, even during peak activity

Our predictive diallers stay within Ofcom regulations using pacing controls, silent call protection, and real-time dial rate adjustments. Even during peak activity.

Handle high-volume call data and scale compliantly

Boost agent productivity by filtering out voicemails. Only live calls are routed to your team, reducing idle wait time and improving engagement rates.

No time wasted on voicemails

Boost agent productivity by filtering out voicemails. Our dialler only connects answered calls to your team, reducing idle wait time and improving engagement rates and customer experience.

Who uses a Predictive Dialler

The technology is most often used in sales, telemarketing, and market research, where contact centres operate with relatively large teams and multiple calls. This is because predictive dialler systems require data from multiple agents to make their predictions.

It can quickly and efficiently work through large datasets, making sure leads are contacted while they’re still warm. Predictive dialling is about making every call count, and ensuring live agents are always doing what they do best – talking to customers and leads.

Predictive Dialler FAQs

Is predictive dialling suitable for regulated industries?

Yes. MaxContact’s dialler includes built-in compliance tools like pacing controls, silent call protection, and real-time dial rate adjustment. These features help you meet Ofcom and FCA standards, making it suitable for regulated sectors such as financial services and debt collections.

How does predictive dialling improve agent performance?

Predictive diallers only connect agents to live calls and filter out voicemails with Answer Machine Detection and dropped connections. This reduces idle time and manual tasks and lets agents focus on having more meaningful conversations, improving productivity, morale, and campaign results.

When should I use predictive dialling over other dialler modes?

When speed and efficiency are the priority, predictive dialling is a great option. It is aligned with high-volume outbound campaigns, such as telesales, debt recovery and lead generation. For smaller teams or more personalised outreach, progressive or preview modes may be a better fit.

What are the different dialling methods?

Progressive dialling

  • Instant and automatic dialling
  • Only dials a number when a team member is ready for the call
  • Perfect for working through current customer campaigns

Preview dialling

  • Automatic dialling but with preparation time for your teams
  • The system shares the contact information before each call, giving the team time to get up to speed before each call is connected
  • Ideal for complicated calls or B2B campaigns, as the pause helps the team prepare for the call
