Optimize Vicidial

[Mwaniki]

These are my current system settings.
1. Dial Method- Ratio
2. Auto Dial Level- 3
3. Drop Percentage Limit- 3
4. Calls Placed- 5638
5. Answer Rate- 3.65%
6. Total Calls- 5798.
7. Drop Rate- 24.16%
8. Total number of Agents- 5
9. Average Waiting Time- 2 minutes.

How can I maintain a healthy balance between the Drop Rate and the Average waiting Time?
Please advise.

Vicidial is more efficient with more agents. Add more agents, or have someone constantly monitoring and changing the ratio

Your drop rate is through the roof. Not trying to put you on blast but if I saw an employee maintaining that drop rate I would fire them. Anyhow, it is most likely happening because you dont have enough agents and you are running it too hard. I would turn adaptive dialing on. Additionally with 5 agents you need to watch your floor like a hawk. You cant be having people get up whenever they want, etc. If someone needs to use the restroom or wants to take a break someone needs to be turning down the dialer, at least 1 minute before.
