    How to use Agent Panel in a Voiso Dialer outbound calling campaign.

    Introduction

    The Voiso Dialer automatically dials a list of your organization's contacts and connects agents to calls that are answered by a person. That means that you, as an agent, do not have to manually dial calls, saving you time and avoiding dialing mistakes. In an outbound Voiso Dialer Campaign, you use the Agent Panel to join and leave campaigns, handle campaign calls, and select wrap-up codes.

    Campaign Alerts

    Voiso provides two methods to alert you that there is a Dialer campaign for you to join. Your supervisor might send you a Broadcast messages notifying your team about an upcoming or just-starting campaign. Also, when a campaign is started, Voiso notifies you in the Agent Panel, if you are logged in, that you have been added to one or more campaigns.

    Handling a campaign call

    The Voiso Dialer automatically dials calls during a campaign. All you have to do is wait for a call to be directed to you. When a contact answers the phone, the call is routed to you and the Call screen is displayed. The Call screen includes all the functions you need to handle the call. You hear the caller in your headset and can speak to them through your microphone.

    When you have finished the call, click End to hang up the call. If the contact hangs up their phone, the call automatically ends. At the end of a call, the Wrap-up code screen is displayed. Click the wrap-up code that matches the business outcome of the call.
