- Can I dial more than one person at the same time?
- No. PhoneBurner® follows federal and state laws that make it illegal to call more than one person at the same time through dialing applications unless a live person can answer all of those calls. The benefit to you? Our state-of-the art technology helps you stay in compliance with Federal laws and ensures that there is no pause between the time a contact picks up the phone and the time that you are able to speak to them. Your prospects will never know you are using a dialing application.
- Do you allow me to record my calls?
- No. It is a crime in many states to record a telephone call without the consent of everyone on the call. In fact, violation of these laws may cause the users of such a feature to pay substantial fines in the thousands of dollars, and spend time in jail. PhoneBurner® looks out for you! Its state-of-the art technology helps you to avoid accidentally violating these laws.
- Do you have a feature that allows my other colleagues to listen to my calls?
- No. It is a crime in some states to listen in on a private telephone conversation without the consent of everyone on the telephone call. Violation of laws against eavesdropping may cause the user to face substantial fines and jail time. PhoneBurner®'s state-of-the art technology helps you to avoid accidentally violating these criminal laws.
- Is PhoneBurner® a predictive dialer?
- No. Predictive dialers place multiple calls (at the same time) in an effort to connect with as many "live answers" as possible. If a live operator isn't available to speak to each person contacted by the dialer, federal law may be violated.
When the predictive dialer calls a number that is answered, the person answering will usually experience a delay (dead air) of a few seconds before being connected. The initial delay is caused by the dialer taking time to determine whether the call was answered by a human or an answering machine. Additional delay is caused by the dialer connecting calls answered by a human to a live operator.
Today, a lot of people recognize that "dead air" and hangup when being called by a predictive dialer. In our opinion, it's not a great way to build rapport with your prospects and clients.
With PhoneBurner®, you are on the phone the whole time, making it easy for you to determine whether a call is being answered by a human or answering machine. When you reach a human with PhoneBurner® there is no awkward pause, you're right there, ready to have a discussion just like you would if you had picked up the phone and called the prospect the old fashioned way!
PhoneBurner® speeds up the process of calling your client or prospect list and there are no call abandonment issues as with predictive dialers. - I have a question… and I don’t see the answer here.
