Power Dialer
A power dialer is auto-dialing software that calls one phone number at a time per rep, dialing the next number automatically when the current call ends — typically with single-click or fully-automated dial initiation between contacts.
Why This Matters
Power dialers occupy the middle ground between manual dialing and predictive dialing. Reps work through their lists faster than manual mode (no manual number entry, dispositions handled inline) but slower than predictive (one connection at a time). The TCPA risk profile is much lower than predictive dialing because there's clearer human initiation per call. Power dialers are the dominant tool in MCA outbound shops that prioritize compliance over raw call volume — reps typically hit 100-200 dials per day in power mode versus 250-400 with predictive.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the throughput of a power dialer vs. manual dialing?
Manual: 40-80 dials/day. Power: 100-200 dials/day. Predictive: 250-400 dials/day. Power dialers double rep productivity over manual without the TCPA exposure of predictive.
Which power dialer platforms work best for MCA?
PhoneBurner, JustCall, CloudCall, Aircall, and built-in CRM dialers (Salesforce Sales Engagement, HubSpot Sales Hub). Compatibility with your CRM and lead-routing logic matters more than feature parity — pick the dialer that integrates cleanly with your stack.
