In the Spotlight: SpitFire Predictive Dialer PRO Gives Agent Productivity a Power Boost

By Stefania Viscusi, Assignment Desk, Content Management


Advanced dialing capabilities have become necessary in the outbound call center as the need for agents to quickly and effectively be connected to live caller's increases. When it comes to predictive dialers, OPC-Marketing's SpitFire brand of dialers are “ready to make the call!”
 
SpitFire Predictive dialer, OPC Marketing’s latest releases, gives agents a host of new capabilities and features, offering enhanced functionality and reliability-- while empowering agents to be faster, and more productive with their time than ever before.
 
“Our people are committed to serving the public — to introduce communication equipment that will make a positive impact on the world. It is not just professionalism and expertise that set our staff apart. They also have a strong commitment to their mission, to the quality of their work, and to the clients they serve. Loyalty and relationships link OPC’s staff and, in turn, link staff to clients. Their work is more than a job; it's a career of mission-focused solutions” stated Mike Henochowicz, OPC’s president and co-founder of CompUSA’s technology “Super Store” chain.
 
Predictive capability eliminates the lost time call centers are faced with when dialing systems reach busy signals, answering machines or disconnected numbers.
 
SpitFire Predictive places calls for agents as well as intelligently predicts when an agent is available, only transferring those new calls to agents once a live person is connected to, on the other end.
 
The solution offers agents customized scripts, caller ID data population, tools, notes and contact information capabilities that help boost their productivity.
 
SpitFire Predictive provides call center administrators with robust stats, displayed on their screen, along with customized scripts. New reporting displays are also part of SpitFire ReportMaker latest features. With this, monitoring the campaigns progress in real-time is possible and fully integrates to Crystal reports. The ability to print follow up labels to do mailings and more, is also provided.
 
With the SpitFire dialer, more than one campaign can begin. Call blending allows you to throttle the ratio of inbound to outbound lines.

As the capabilities of VoIP penetrate the world of communications, call centers are also starting to utilize its capabilities to allow remote agents to work from any location in the world. This latest version of SpitFire optionally supports this cost saving technology shift, with the ability to route calls to agents via VoIP.
