Traditional Call Centers
The image of row after row of telemarketers calling consumers, desperately trying to persuade them to purchase a product or service is the common perception of most call centers.
Unfortunately, too many call centers today still operate in this environment. Using even modern predictive dialers still does not relieve the cost and stress of trying to promote a product or service.
Although many telemarketers use different introductions or gimmicky approaches and techniques, consumers are getting wary and tired of this type of selling. And after a long shift, the enthusiasm and morale of an outbound telemarketer wanes significantly.
The quality of the message delivered to the last prospect of the shift is generally not the same as was delivered to the first prospect of the day. Plus a call center can only contact as many prospects as can be handled by the number of agents in the center.
Even predictive dialers only eliminate busy signals, no answer and answering machine calls. However, since well over 90% of cold calls are made to uninterested parties, telemarketers spend most of the day handling "No Interest" calls.
Advanced Call Center Solutions
Now imagine having a call center with ALL of your telemarketers talking ONLY with interested prospects. With products and technology from Database Systems Corp. this type of advanced call center is now a reality.
By letting your phone system do more work and qualification of your called prospects, your call center agents can spend more productive
time selling and promoting rather than just trying to keep a prospect on the line.
Prospects can now be called and introduced with a consistent, professional message. Your call introduction will be a clear, concise message that YOU want to present.
Fewer agents can now process far more calls in this new call center. You can hire call center agents that can work from your center or from home. Recruiting telemarketers into this environment is much easier.
Call centers can become as much as 10 times more productive using this smart and professional marketing approach.
Calling campaigns that take days or weeks to perform can now be accomplished in just hours!
Features of Advanced Call Centers
The advanced call center will be far more productive and cost effective. By letting technology unburden routine tasks, your center will be capable of assuming any type of call campaign at a lower cost. The following features of this call center of the future are available NOW from Database Systems Corp.
- Call campaigns with voice messaging - Let our phone system qualify prospects or introduce your product or company BEFORE transferring to your agents. Messages can be left on answering machines as well. No more dropped calls, plus your message can properly identify your organization and products conforming to proposed FTC regulations.
- Call center agents working from home - Now your call center agents can work from home, from remote offices or at your call center. Using the Web, our technology can connect calls with your agents, no matter where they are.
- Professional inbound call processing - Inbound calls can be professionally answered using our intelligent IVR and call routing features. Information can be easily given to callers without ever having to speak with an agent. Of course, we can still intelligently route calls to different agent groups and do outside call transfers.
- Flexible dialing programs - Our PACER phone system can perform just about any type of dialing, from simple auto dial, progressive dialing, predictive dialing, and of course our message dialing - whatever your calling campaign requires.

Existing PC, Linux, or Web applications can be fully integrated into our call center products using this CTI software.
- Online administration and reporting - Products from Database Systems Corp. include a comprehensive online reporting system plus the ability to customize reports and graphs to your specific needs through our phone software.
Smart Phone Dialing
All of these advances in call center productivity are available with our PACER Smart Message Dialer andcall center software. The PACER dialer dials from a list of prospects and when contact is made with an individual, our dialer plays a pre-recorded message introducing your organization, product and service.
If the party is interested, a message can be played indicating how to contact your organization or the individual can simply "Press 1...." to be connected immediately to one of your call center agents. Now calls that come to your telemarketers are only individuals who have listened to your promotion and would like to hear more.
Another advanced feature of the PACER phone system is its ability to not only detect answering machines, but to leave a pre-recorded message on this machine. Statistics have shown that an individual is 2 to 3 times more likely to respond to a marketing message left on an answering machine than to respond to a mailer. Most traditional predictive dialers just discard these calls or at best, schedule this number to be redialed later. These dialers are ignoring the potential of getting additional leads and business by leaving a targeted message.
