Intelligent
Call Progress Analysis and Voice Detection:
PowerStation’s
™ sophisticated algorithms and high end telephony equipment delivers well over
200% more agent talk time and connect time when compared to manual dialing.
The
system’s built-in algorithms control the pace of dialing based on factors such
as campaign assignment and drop rate.The PowerStation™ Predictive
Dialer system uses Dialogic’s Perfect Call® detection which
filters out 85-90 % answering
machines, busy signals, fax/modems, beepers/pagers, and operator intercepts,
giving your tele-sales agents more
talk time and less wait time between calls. The Predictive Dialer incorporates three
different methodologies for detecting Answering Machines and other Operator
Messages. While the Predictive Dialer will minimizes transfer live call time ,
it uses the best case scenario for detecting human voice from answering machines
and operator messages. The Predictive Dialer uses a mixed method of Cadence
Change and Frequency Detection. This intelligent call detection capability is
imperative for predictive dialing scenarios.
PowerStation’s multi-campaign dialing feature will
allow you to run as many lists as you like. Each campaign is a targeted call list based on criteria
such as zip codes, products, demographics, etc..
The
PowerStation Agent utilizes web-based technology:
PowerStation™
uses the latest in objection/rebuttal scripting. Using HTML/ASP COMM scripting,
agents will click on the appropriate objections and receive the correct
objections.
Each
agent workstation is configured to easily allow your tele-sales reps to receive
calls, read from the script, field rebuttals, and disposition calls such as no
interest, sales, lead, don’t call, and other user definable disposition codes.
Agents can also enter additional information and schedule agent callbacks, as
well as set appointments for sales reps out on the field. Custom data entry
screens can be developed using Microsoft Front Page or Microsoft’s Advanced
Visual Internet Development Tool Kit to allow for customizable agent data
entry.

messages to individual agent stations
or to all agents using manager to station remote
messaging.
The
Manager’s Station can:
·
Create
and set up campaigns/projects and calling lists
·
Import
lists and dial at the same time
·
View

what is being said by each agent with a hand held device or by simply selecting
the appropriate station.
·
Run
real-time
report of each agents activities

·
Record
one or many agent conversations simultaneously (enterprise
ed.)
·
Play
back recorded messages by agent or by date
(enterprise ed.)

3 integrates rebuttal scripting using the hypertext technology, which gives
agents a point and click interface
and easy key word lookups.
Database
& List Management:
PowerStation™
uses
SQL Server its database management software. Other Open Database Connectivity
(ODBC) compliant databases such as ORACLE,
MY SQL- Server, Informix, ACCESS, and Paradox can also be used to the
database. PowerStation™ uses the
Structured Query Language (SQL) to allow users to easily create and alter
targeted calling lists as their campaigns, which can then be imported into PowerStation™.
Import

Recording:
PowerStation™ Enterprise gives Managers have the capability to record one or many conversations simultaneously for quality assurance or training purposes. Agents have the ability to stop and start recordings with a simple click of a button to verify sales information. Each recorded call is stored as a voice file that can later be played back. The files can be retrieved based on telephone number, campaign name, date and time of call and the agents name or a combination of all.
Call
Conference:
This feature allows the rep to select from a drop down menu a selection of telephone numbers and or descriptions of numbers to make a 3 way call. This “warm transfer” technique also gives the agent the option of leaving the conference allowing the other parties to stay on line.
Call
Transfer:
Agents can transfer calls externally for a Third Party Verification (TPV) system or internally for Take Over (Tos) for closing. The process begins when the agent select s to transfer the call to a queue of TPV agents or Tos to be available to take calls along with customer specific data. The transfer process is called a “warm transfer where the agent does not leave the customer on hold by themselves. Agents can also call transfer the call externally off site and then be able to drop of from the conversation.
Call
Blending:
PowerStation™
can be configured to process both inbound and outbound calls
simultaneously. This system will allow incoming calls to be processed
through the Predictive Dialer system to be available for a group agents to handle calls
with screen pops, similar to an ACD group. This will give the inbound agents instant information on the caller. Digitally recorded messages such as an
IVR and Auto attendant can be placed while the calls are routed to the next
available agent or group. The system routes the call to appropriate agent based on skill, also
known as Skill Based Routing.
Fulfillment
System:
The
Fulfillment System gives you the added ability to perform call tracking by
defining certain external events. At the completion of specialized calls, the
systems can send results to a customized file and can print personalized
letters, mailing labels, etc.
