Working on Progressive/Predictive Mode Calls

In both Progressive and Predictive modes, you respond to outbound calls that have been directed to your desktop.

You handle both type of calls in the same way—even though a supervisor might have divided them into separate modes.

When the yellow phone icon flashes on the Batch Navigation column (on the  top-left portion of the Outbound Campaign Calls interface), do the following:

Note: After you are connected with your contact, you can perform various tasks, depending on the nature of the interaction. For example, you can update customer records, reschedule a call, and so on.

  1. Click Disconnect to end the interaction.

  2. When you are finished:
