Run outbound campaigns3 min readUpdated 2026-03-14
The Power Dialer calls one contact at a time, in sequence, for a single agent. You see each contact's CRM data before the call connects, giving you time to prepare. This guide walks you through your first Power Dialer campaign.
Plan required: Pro ($49/user/mo) or above.
Step 1: Create a Campaign
- Go to Sales Dialer > Campaigns in the left sidebar.
- Click New Campaign.
- Select Power Dialer as the dialer type.
- Name your campaign something descriptive (e.g., "Q1 Follow-ups — West Coast").
Step 2: Add Contacts
Upload your contact list using one of these methods:
| Method | How |
|---|---|
| CSV upload | Click Upload CSV, map columns to fields (name, phone, company, etc.) |
| CRM import | Select your connected CRM, choose a list or saved view |
| Manual add | Enter contacts individually from the campaign screen |
Required field: phone number. All other fields are optional but improve CRM preview and script personalization.
Step 3: Configure Campaign Settings
- Caller ID — Select the number prospects will see. Enable Local Presence Dialing to match their area code.
- Voicemail Drop — Attach a pre-recorded voicemail for one-click drop when you reach voicemail.
- Disposition Codes — Choose which codes agents use to categorize outcomes (connected, voicemail, no answer, etc.).
- Reattempt Rules — Set automatic retry schedules for specific dispositions (e.g., retry "no answer" after 4 hours).
- Sales Script — Assign a script that displays on-screen during calls with dynamic contact fields.
- Auto-SMS — Configure a text message to send automatically after each call.
- Calling Window — Set timezone-based hours to stay compliant.
Step 4: Start Dialing
- Click Start Campaign.
- The dialer loads the first contact's CRM preview.
- Review the contact details, then click Dial or let auto-dial connect.
- After each call, log a disposition and the dialer advances to the next contact.
- Use Pause to take a break or End Campaign to stop.
Tips for Your First Campaign
- Start with a small list (50–100 contacts) to test your settings.
- Record your voicemail drop message before launching.
- Set dispositions that match your sales process so reattempt rules work correctly.
- Review campaign analytics after completion to benchmark connect rates.
