What Is Progressive Dialer?
A Progressive Dialer is an outbound calling tool that connects agents to leads automatically — but only when an agent is available. This ensures fewer dropped calls, higher connection quality, and improved customer experiences.
Unlike predictive dialing, which may over-dial in anticipation of agent availability, progressive dialing offers greater control and is ideal for compliance-sensitive industries or sales teams focused on meaningful conversations over volume.
