Best Call Center Software 

The best call center software is a critical part of any business’s customer experience strategy. Businesses need the best call center solution for their call centers and contact centers to facilitate seamless, personalized customer interactions. 

Call centers have always played an integral role in a business’s CX operations, being the first touchpoint as part of a customer journey. Call centers have come a long way, going from centers with basic call functionality only to fully-fledged digital interaction centers. Call centers now need to support digital channels like text messaging, SMS, messenger apps, web chat, mobile apps, social media, and more. 

Having advanced call center software is a necessity for modern customer service. Many people now communicate mainly on digital, mobile channels that extend beyond voice and email. To ensure that your business reaches a wider audience and makes it easier for customers to connect, you need a call center solution that is advanced and flexible that can help your call center agents deliver great customer service in the most efficient manner to your clients. 

The best call center software needs key features such as: 

  • Omnichannel Communication
  • Omnichannel Quality Management
  • Comprehensive CRM Integrations
  • Efficient Automatic Call Distribution (ACD)
  • Advanced Conversational IVR
  • Plug-and-Play APIs for Third-Party App Integrations
  • Efficient Auto Dialing Modes, including Predictive Dialing, Power Dialing, and Preview Dialing
  • AI Integrations and Automation

With these features, you can ensure that you are maximizing efficiency in your contact center while improving conversion rates, improving ROI, and boosting CSAT. 

One of the best features to have for your call center software is omnichannel communications. As opposed to a multichannel contact center solution, omnichannel contact center software is able to seamlessly connect with agents on any communication channel and switch between channels effortlessly. Bright Pattern, for example, allows your agents to switch seamlessly between any channel, including channels like: 

  • Voice 
  • Email
  • Web Chat
  • Text Messaging
  • SMS
  • Video Chat 
  • Chat Bot 
  • Messenger Apps 
  • Social Media
  • …and more!

Having a true omnichannel platform is critical to providing meaningful connections to your customers. It can help your business deliver…

  • Flexibility in the CX journey.
  • Personalization of any customer interaction
  • A wider reach to a bigger audience 
  • Seamless channel switching 
  • A smooth agent experience 
  • Frictionless customer journeys from start to finish 
  • A boost in CSAT and NPS 
  • Better supervision and quality management capabilities

Another key feature that the best call center software needs to have is comprehensive omnichannel quality management. Quality management is one of the most important functions within a call center, as it can help identify critical areas of improvement, lead to better agent training, and ensure high customer satisfaction. It can also help prevent negative interactions from being justify in the dark, allowing you to get a better view of your business performance. 

Compared to traditional quality management, omnichannel quality management allows your supervisors and agents to monitor 100% of interactions on all channels easily. This eliminates the tediousness and difficulty of managing quality on the numerous different communication channels. On the Bright Pattern platform, for example, omnichannel quality management is built-in due to its true omnichannel platform. 

With Bright Pattern’s platform, data and analytics from all channels are pooled into a supervisor dashboard, which can be used for a birds-eye view of every channel and the performance on these channels. Having an omnichannel quality management platform is a great tool for your business, because: 

  • Quality management data can be used by supervisors and administrators to identify key areas of improvement
  • Data can be used to formulate strategies to deliver better customer service 
  • In-depth information can be obtained for each and every interaction on all channels 
  • Comprehensive feedback can be given to agents for retraining and performance improvement

Aside from omnichannel-driven features, the best call center software needs comprehensive integrations with third-party applications. One of the most important integrations that the best contact center solution needs to have is a comprehensive CRM integration. 

A customer record management system serves as an important library for a business, as it can contain thousands, millions, even billions of important records. These customer records can be utilized to personalize the customer experience, improve interaction resolution time, improve the agent experience, and conduct comprehensive quality management. 

Because of how essential a CRM is to customer service, your business needs a call center software that can effectively integrate with any CRM, whether it is a third-party CRM or a natively-built CRM system. 

Bright Pattern’s contact center software, for example, is able to integrate with any CRM ,whether it is a third-party CRM or an in-house built record management system. Bright Pattern can integrate with vendors like: 

  • Salesforce 
  • ServiceNow
  • Zendesk
  • Hubspot
  • Zoho
  • Microsoft Dynamics 365

Bright Pattern can be nested within the CRM, and Bright Pattern can host the CRM on the agent desktop. Bright Pattern’s contact center solution allows for screen-pops, which means that customer information can be popped up on the screen when an interaction comes in. This gives your agents customer information at their fingertips. Delivering customer information at their fingertips helps them resolve customer issues faster and personalize the experience, boosting CSAT and key performance indicators (KPIs) for your business. 

Another integration that can provide a nice boost to the ROI and CSAT scores for your business is AI integrations. AI is a powerful tool that can be used for many applications in the contact center world. These applications include: 

  • Conversational IVRs that accept customer speech 
  • Self-service options 
  • Automation of routine tasks like password reset 
  • Real-time sentiment analytics during an interaction 
  • Analytics of entire interaction afterwards for quality management data 
  • Agent assistance during interactions through suggested responses 
  • Real-time intervention during a negative interaction

Bright Pattern integrates with several top AI vendors, including IBM Watson, Microsoft AI, and Google AI. 

Finally, the best call center software doesn’t just perfect what is currently available, but can also anticipate what will come in the future. Future-proofing is a major bonus for the top contact center solutions. With the development of more mobile channels, mobility will be a top priority for the CX industry in the near future. 

Bright Pattern has developed Omni-Enterprise CXTM to help adapt to the future of CX. Omni-Enterprise CXTM is driven by the Bright Pattern Mobile App. The Bright Pattern Mobile App is an application for iPhone and Android that puts Bright Pattern’s contact center software into personal smartphone devices. 

This means anyone in your company can be on the Bright Pattern platform and participate in the customer experience. People in your company such as: 

  • Retail store employees
  • On-field workers 
  • Call center agents 
  • Delivery workers 
  • Warehouse employees
  • …and more!

These employees can use the mobile app to communicate with customers over voice and text messaging through the Bright Pattern Mobile App. All activity history and notes taken during these interactions are recorded into either Bright Pattern’s built-in CRM or the integrated third-party CRM. Data regarding the performance of these interactions are also stored, allowing supervisors to easily monitor interactions on Bright Pattern Mobile App 

With the future of CX entering a more mobile age, Omni-Enterprise CXTM helps future-proof your contact center and deliver an advanced, yet personalized customer experience.

How Many Types of Auto Dialer Are There?

There are 4 types of auto dialers.

  • Progressive
  • Predictive
  • Preview
  • Manually-Initiated Call (By Agent)

What do these different types of auto dialers actually do?

  1. Progressive Dialer: It will automatically place another call once the previous call is finished.
  2. Predictive Dialer: It can dial multiple numbers at once using a special algorithm to determine when an agent will finish a call, while simultaneously connecting the agent to the next call in the calling queue
  3. Preview Dialer: It provides agents the option to place a call immediately or to take several moments to review information about the potential customer before making the call. 
  4. Manual Call (Initiated By Agent): It is a call that was manually dialed by an agent.

     

What Are The Benefits of An Auto Dialer?

By far the most evident benefit of the automated dialer is that it significantly reduces the actual time for call center agents to manually dial in a potential customer phone number from an extensively long caller list.

Are Auto Dialers Illegal?

No!

Auto dialers are NOT illegal!

However, they must follow certain rules and regulations that are administered by the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, or TCPA, in order to function. 

If these mandates are NOT followed, it COULD result in legal action. 

In fact, the TCPA is a document written in 1991 that established customer telephone marketing and telemarketing practices for industry leaders.

The FCC has full authority and oversight of these legal acts and regulations. 

 

What Is A VoIP?

VoIP dialers are a type of dialer software that allows you to make voice calls using an Internet connection, instead of a generic telephone line; thus increasing productivity and connectivity rates. 

VoIP stands for: Voice Over Internet Protocol

With a VoIP dialer, you can make outbound voice calls in an instant while implementing various types of auto dialers such as: power, preview, progressive, etc. 

 

How Do I Choose A Dialer?

Good question!

Depending on the needs of your business, along with its size and call volume, you can make that decision based on your options.

For those working in small businesses, it definitely isn’t necessary to implement all the bells and whistles of what a larger call center would need.

As a business, if you are dealing with a very high-volume of calls, then incorporating a power dialer or predictive dialer would be recommended.

However, if your business only sees a small-volume of calls, a preview dialer should do just fine. 

 

 

 

How Does A Progressive Dialer Work?

How does a progressive dialer work?

The progressive dialer works as a middleman between manual dialing and predictive dialing.

It’s a software tool that is implemented by call center agents to maximize overall call quality and call performance

The call center industry continues to expand through growth and innovation and as that continues to happen, there is a greater demand for technologies such as the progressive dialer to transform agent productivity, customer experience, and agent/customer relationships. 

 

What Is A Progressive Dialer?

What is a progressive dialer

Essentially, implementing this software automates the entire process of making an outbound call so the live agent won’t have to manually dial every phone number from a contact list

How does a progressive dialer affect a call center

Progressive dialers are incredibly popular among outbound and inbound call centers as they are recognized as an auto dialer system

Implementing this type of dialer saves a tremendous amount of time, energy, man-power, and money so it can provide call center agents more time to spend doing more important tasks. 

What Are The Benefits of Progressive Dialer Software? 

What are the best benefits of progressive dialer software

Live agents will save an incredible amount of time on exhausting manual dialing and failed or dropped calls attempts. 

A progressive dialer will automatically dial numbers and filter out busy signals, answering machines, or other numbers that are difficult to reach by a human. 

Plus, a critical benefit of the progressive dialer is the ability for constant agent availability as there will always be at least one, or possibly several, agents to answer a call once it has been connected. 

Implementing this type of dialer provides a direct way to connect agents instantly and efficiently while reducing wait times

How do these benefits affect a call center?

As a call center, you can experience: 

MORE connected calls.

MORE connected customers.

MORE questions answered.

And, most importantly,

MORE Money. 

In terms of dropped calls, a progressive dialer promises a significant reduction in call abandonment rates and fewer hangups.

The software has the capability to optimize call connection ratio and overall agent talk time

Which leads to: 

  • Greater Product Awareness
  • Greater Customer Satisfaction
  • Greater Revenue Opportunities 
  • Greater Agent Efficiency

     

All of these major factors are correlated with the implementation of a progressive dialer

Do Call Centers Use Progressive Dialers?

Do call centers use progressive dialers and popular dialer software?

Yes!

In fact, a progressive dialer is still identified as an auto dialer since it removes the need for a live agent to dial by hand, or using a voip,  while simultaneously taking agent availability into play. 

However, there may not be the same call volume as its auto dialer brother, the predictive dialer, but, it will still tremendously reduce call abandonment rate as contact center agents are now available to take the call. 

Streamlining workflow and promising customers that an agent is available, always.

 

What Size Companies Should Use A Progressive Dialer? 

What size companies should use a progressive dialer?

It is recommended that smaller to mid-sized companies implement this type of dialer software since it acts as the middle ground between an auto dialer and manually dialing numbers by hand. 

It is NOT recommended for companies that receive extremely high-volume of calls. 

With this software, a call is always connected to a live agent in real-time so they can create real, lasting impressions on their customers. 

What Are The Differences Between Predictive Dialers and Progressive Dialers?

There are several main differences between predictive dialers and progressive dialers

A progressive dialing system will wait for a live agent to finish their current call before automatically dialing the next number

(It will dial only 1 number per each available agent.)

A progressive dialer has a built-in, real-time answering machine detection and the capability to screen out busy signals so a call center agent is only ever connected to a call when a customer is too

A stark difference between the two types of dialer software is the increased agent wait time compared to implementing a predictive dialer (it uses an algorithm to reduce time between calls). 

What is the dialing rate of the predictive dialer and progressive dialer

The dialing rate of a progressive dialer is lower, unlike predictive dialers, which explains that enterprise-level organizations making a tremendous amount of calls daily should probably not use it.

If you are running a call center, you must make a decision on how your team will approach the amount of calls you will receive on a daily basis. 

Understanding dialing modes is critical as a dialer ensures the call process is maximized for agents, industry solutions specialists, and customers too

It is incredibly important to choose the RIGHT dialer for YOUR needs. 

 

How Does A Progressive Dialer Affect Agent Performance?

Does a progressive dialer affect agent performance?

Yes!

In a positive or negative way?

Of course, positive!

Implementing call center software helps significantly reduce drop rate, ensures automated outbound calling, and dramatically transforms a basic phone system into a full-fledged cloud-based juggernaut with a sole purpose of automating processes and telemarketing

Perks like this transform a call center into a seamless and positive environment for agents.

Agents can create long-lasting relationships with customers by creating a greater customer experience, meet company-wide metrics, create a higher call conversion rate, and optimize performance management work processes. 

While using this type of dialer software, when a live agent indicates the call has been completed, it will automatically dial the next person in line. 

Translating to: more calls being made, more conversions being met, and more potential revenue. 

  • Solve Issues 
  • Answer Difficult Questions
  • Push A Product or Service
  • Create Higher Potentials For Revenue
  • Create A Positive CX 
  • Exceed The Demands of The Customer Base

     

A progressive dialer is essential for a call center to perform and will transform any business into a better business by reshaping and delivering the best possible CX. Creating happier agents and more receptive customers simultaneously

 

 

 

Exploring The World of The Power Dialer

The world of the power dialer is a world where seamless technology meets call centers

A power dialer acts as a gateway.

It acts as a gateway to: improved agent productivity, the elimination of minor tasks, and a major shift in sales.

 

How Does A Power Dialer Work?

How does a power dialer work?

A power dialer is a call center software tool that is used by a live agent to add phone numbers to a calling list in very quick succession and proceed to dial them in order.

If the call can’t be connected, it will move over to the next call in line in an instant without any work from the agent. 

Why is a power dialer important to call centers?

It helps eliminate many rudimentary and banal tasks like manual dialing, time spent looking for contact information, or copy-pasting a customer’s phone number

This type of dialer software can be used for a variety of purposes.

It can be used to maximize workflow and agent productivity, generate wider-spread marketing campaigns, and improve the customer experience

Essentially, with a power dialer, it will:

Cut Out Time:

  • Spent Manual Dialing
  • Pulling Up Customer Information
  • Trying To Reach The Next Caller In Line

Now, call center agents spend MORE time creating personalized relationships with customers and significantly LESS time on monotonous tasks. 

 

What Are The Benefits of A Power Dialer?

What are the benefits of implementing a power dialer into a contact center

With a power dialer, it gives you the capability to make more calls in the least amount of time without removing complete control over a calling queue.

Can this type of dialer positively affect both agents and customers?

Actually, a power dialer automatically maximizes the effectiveness of sales representatives making calls to customers, ensuring smooth and seamless conversations. 

With this call center software tool, it provides agents an opportunity to focus on generating new leads, hitting new metrics, maximizing salesforce, and creating a seamless environment for workflow

Incorporating this software provides agents with the ability of automation

Now, agents can start calling and make hundreds of outbound calls to countless customers. All while saving time and energy spent on researching customer information or manually dialing

All available agents are consistently speaking to new customers, spreading product awareness, and working seamlessly without disrupting the call flow of other agents. 

 

What Are The Differences Between A Power Dialer and Predictive Dialer?

What are the differences between a power dialer and predictive dialer?

Often, call center software tools have some differences.

These two are no different.

A power dialer is used to automatically call lists seamlessly in rapid succession. But, if the number can’t be connected, it will move instantly to the very next number in the contact list

However, a predictive dialer uses a mathematical algorithm that has the ability to predict the ratio of customers who will possibly answer the phone and makes calls to connect as many agents as possible with a live call based on call rates

These two dialing modes are crucial to a contact center as both rely on automation to make more calls and reach new customers. 

These types of dialers can be used for mass calling campaigns for products, services, or even political endeavors. 

 

How Is CRM Important?

How is CRM important?

CRM, or customer relationship management, is a key part in call center software as it provides businesses the ability to save, track, and review the entire customer journey from beginning to end

With this information at their fingertips, a sales agent has access to a complete personal record of every customer interaction, both positive and negative.

By having access to this information, it correlates to greater agent performance and customer experience. 

When a customer calls into a contact center, or an inbound call, an agent will have access to a full record of their information and interactions from previous calls, like call logs

For a contact center and every live agent, CRM integration is incredibly important

Agents now have access to:

  • Phone Numbers
  • Former Interaction History
  • Call Recordings
  • Sentiment History (Positive / Negative)

Implementing this software for sales teams is critical for successful CX. 

CRM software provides a genuine customized report to store and monitor customer’s personal information across ANY type of channel.

Using these resources, agents can help a customer no matter WHERE they are on their journey.

CRM is used in various industries:

  • Medical & Health Insurance
  • Credit Card Companies
  • Finances & Banking
  • Internet Security

     

How Does A Call Center Use A Power Dialer?

A power dialer provides agents the ability to have as many live connections as possible

It gives agents the power (no pun intended) to focus on new calls in the call queue and think less about how the previous call occurred; whether positive or negative

With this type of dialer, it will push agents onto the next caller and guarantee emerging connections are made with new customers. 

Instead of stressing out over a bad call or interaction, call center agents can always focus on the very next call. They can focus on pushing product awareness, how to compare plans, or research customer information. 

 

Why Do Sales Teams Use Power Dialer Software? 

These sales teams, whether they be in-person or a remote team, use dialer software to eliminate time-consuming tasks like manual dialing, time spent researching customer contact info, or even looking at a caller’s list. 

What is the estimated amount of times a call center agent could make a call with this dialer?

Countless.

A team of agents can make countless amounts of calls to future customers using power dialer software

Bright Pattern is one of the figurehead companies pushing this dialing software to help a diverse group of businesses all over the world. 

Automation through implementation is the first benefit of incorporating this software into your business.

Transform customer outreach with a new and optimized CX

 

 

 

Predictive Dialer

Predictive dialers are a necessity for your call center if your call center depends on outbound dialing and outbound marketing campaigns to reach customers and clients. Having advanced predictive dialers with different dialing modes as well as compliance with local and federal government guidelines is an amazing tool at your call center’s disposal to reach a wide audience over different channels. 

The different auto dialing modes your call center software should support are:

  • Power Dialing: Automated telephone technology that dials a phone number right after the completion of a call. These phone numbers are dialed off a list.
  • Preview Dialing: Present information of the contact, including activity history, addresses, information, and more, to an agent before dialing. Agent reviews the customer record to determine whether to call or skip to the next contact.
  • Progressive Dialing: System automatically dials one contact for every agent that is available. An analysis is done of the phone number before the call is placed.
  • Predictive Dialing: An algorithm is used by the outbound dialer to make predictions of agent availability and place calls based on this algorithm. The algorithm is calculated using inputs like average handle time (AHT), after-call time, idle time, and more.

Having a call center software that supports these different dialing modes is critical to any outbound sales campaign that your organization wants to run. Having a dynamic contact center software with so much flexibility can boost the performance and productivity of your business, helping you build stronger customer relationships and reach a wider audience.

Some benefits of utilizing different dialing modes include 

  • Lower call abandonment rates
  • Improved agent availability
  • Lower agent idle time
  • Skipping of dropped or disconnected telephone numbers
  • Improved ROI 
  • Flexibility in outbound calling strategies 
  • Increase sales
  • Powerful scalability 
  • Empowerment of agents

Having the choice of dialing mode provides great flexibility for any use case that your business needs to deliver for your outbound calling campaigns. Whether it’s appointment reminders, customer outreach, marketing automation, debt collection, fundraising, market research, or more, being able to choose the dialing mode is a critical feature for an outbound call center. 

Bright Pattern’s contact center software provides all the different auto dialer modes your call center needs to customize the outbound calling campaigns. Bright Pattern utilizes powerful algorithms and customizable workflows to help you tailor the dialing capabilities to suit your specific use cases. 

Because Bright Pattern is also a digital-first call center solution, Bright Pattern is able to automate outbound notifications and outbound deliveries of text messages and SMS to contact lists. This is especially useful for businesses that need to notify customers and users about situations like service interruption, status updates, and issue highlights. 

Adding SMS to your outbound dialing increases the flexibility as well as the reach of your outbound campaigns. With the addition of the ability to offer local detection and multimedia messaging services, your customers can effortlessly share data, images, and more with sales reps and support teams. 

Every outbound dialer needs to follow the law. This means following the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, or TCPA. As the primary law that governs telephone solicitations, TCPA sets guidelines for how outbound dialers can operate. This includes: 

  • Utilization of Do Not Call (DNC) Lists 
  • Calling Time Restrictions 
  • Prevention of Robocalls 
  • National Do Not Call Registry
  • Restriction of Charged Calls that are Autodialed

Bright Pattern is fully TCPA compliant, allowing your call center to easily integrate Do Not Call lists and allowing your call center to set up rules that adhere to regulations.

¿Qué es un Centro de llamadas?

Un Centro de llamadas es un departamento centralizado que maneja un gran volumen de llamadas telefónicas de los clientes. Estas llamadas pueden ser entrantes, donde los clientes inician la llamada para obtener soporte o información, o salientes, donde los agentes realizan llamadas a los clientes con fines de ventas, marketing u otros fines.

 

Principales funciones de un Centro de llamadas:

  • Brindar atención al cliente: Esta es la función más común de un Centro de llamadas. Los agentes ayudan a los clientes con una variedad de problemas, cómo solucionar problemas técnicos, responder preguntas sobre productos o servicios y procesar pedidos.
  • Ventas y marketing: los centros de llamadas también se pueden utilizar para generar clientes potenciales, realizar llamadas de ventas y realizar investigaciones de mercado.
  • Soporte técnico: algunos centros de llamadas brindan soporte técnico a los clientes que tienen problemas con un producto o servicio.
  • Cobros: Los centros de llamadas también se pueden utilizar para cobrar pagos de clientes que están atrasados ​​en sus facturas.

 

Los Centro de llamadas modernos utilizan cada vez más la tecnología para mejorar su eficiencia y eficacia. Esto incluye el uso de sistemas automatizados para enrutar llamadas al agente adecuado, el uso de grabación y monitoreo de llamadas para mejorar el desempeño del agente y el uso de opciones de autoservicio para permitir que los clientes obtengan ayuda sin tener que hablar con un agente.

Los centros de llamadas son una parte importante de muchas empresas y desempeñan un papel vital a la hora de brindar servicio al cliente, ventas y soporte.
