CallFire now supports internal list management. You can create and maintain a list of phone numbers easily within your dashboard. This feature also provides an internal do-not-call list support for your campaigns.To use the feature, click on the phonebook link.
Create a new list and start adding numbers to it. The internal do-not-call list will be created automatically for you when you make your first campaign. You can add and remove numbers from all of your lists.

The MasterDNC list can be scrubbed against when you create a new campaign. Once the campaign is created, the system will dial all the numbers that were not scrubbed. Updates to your Master DNC list do not update old campaigns.

The Problem: Lack of tools to mobilize a distributed workforce.

The Description: It is common for organizations to have volunteers or workers at varying locations - especially for political groups with people nationwide. Traditionally each group of people were given a list of phone numbers to call and a web site to input their results from each call. This works, but there are many problems in this scenario:
- No guarantee that each number is being called
- No ability to update the list once its out
- No instant data collection methods
- No administrative control and monitoring
- Volunteers have to pay for telecom costs
In the end, the best way to avoid all these problems was to create an expensive call center or phone bank effort in each of the distributed locations.
A Solution: One of the primary technologies that CallFire.com offers is a solution to the distributed agent problem. The system allows a workforce to connect to the target list from any location, all they need is a phone line and a computer. Here is how it works:
- User logs into a secure web site and receives a call on their phone so they can talk to people on the target list.
- The system connects them to the people on the target list using a predictive algorithm to maximize efficiency and reduces fatigue.
- When they connect, the user sees full details on their browser, including a form to collect data for each connection they make.
This solution is one of the best ways to mobilize a workforce that isn’t centrally located.
Example: A political organization had 800 volunteers nationwide that were helping from their homes to collect statistics for the upcoming senate elections. Using the CallFire.com distributed call center application, the organization was able to setup a campaign within 1 hour and email their volunteers with login credentials.
In a 3 day span, the volunteers logged in when they had time and connected to potential voters and asked them what concerns they had for the upcoming senate elections. Full statistics were collected after each call. In addition, the administrators were able to coach volunteers, see individual volunteer statistics and collect valuable data from each call that was connected.
Not only was this easy to setup, the organization increased their contact rate by 40%. Volunteers left amazing feedback, claiming it was the easiest system they ever used and the loved the fact that they could do it on their own time instead of gathering at phone bank parties. In addition to the amazing call results, the organization was now able to identify their star volunteers (ones that took the most calls and collected the most data), and gave them the recognition they deserved!

We are no longer charging you for outbound calls. All you pay for is the time YOUR agent is connected to our system, at 3.5c/minute! That means that you only pay about $2.10/hour, per-agent, for using our predictive dialer. That’s a cost savings of more than 50%!
See more pricing details.

We just added the Call Center Direct Connect Campaign. This is a unique campaign type where you have full control over what connection goes to your agents. This feature lets you control which agents log in and what phone number they are connected to. You can barge in and listen on your agents, you can disconnect their calls, transfer the call they are on to a new number and much more.
We have done extensive testing on this feature with several hundred agents and it works great! Currently this is one of our most valuable political dialing options.
Do you want a demo or API information to connect your software? Give us a call and one of our representatives will give you all the information you need.
