How Can Reps Call Through a Salesforce List Without Dialing by Hand?
Reps call through a Salesforce list without dialing by hand by using a power dialer. It takes a list view, report or campaign, calls the next record as soon as the previous call ends, opens the record on screen and logs the outcome, so reps make far more calls per hour with no typing.
How it works in Salesforce
A rep or manager builds a calling list from Salesforce records, such as a list view of new Leads or a campaign's members. The rep starts the session and the dialer:
- Calls the first record and opens it on screen.
- Waits while the rep talks, then asks for a disposition when the call ends.
- Logs the call and moves on to the next record, often after a short wrap-up timer.
Because only one call is placed per rep, there are no abandoned calls, which makes a power dialer a safer choice than a predictive dialer for most B2B sales teams.
Example
An SDR has 80 Leads from a webinar. Instead of opening each record and dialing, the SDR starts a power dialing session. The dialer works through the list, logs every outcome, and the SDR makes far more attempts in the same hour.
