Predictive dialing
Predictive dialing is like having a robot friend who helps you make phone calls.
When you need to make a lot of phone calls to people, it can take a long time to dial each person's number one by one. But with predictive dialing, your robot friend does all the hard work for you!
First, your friend has a list of phone numbers that you want to call. They use a computer program to automatically dial the numbers one by one.
But here's where the "predictive" part comes in. Your robot friend doesn't just randomly dial the next number on the list. They use some special math to guess how long it will take for someone to answer the phone on each number.
For example, if your robot friend knows from past experience that people usually answer the phone within about 15 seconds of it ringing, they'll wait about 10 seconds before they dial the next number.
That way, when the person on the first number answers, you're already on the phone and talking to them!
But sometimes the guess is wrong, and nobody answers the phone. In that case, your robot friend will try again a little later.
Overall, predictive dialing helps you make lots of phone calls quickly and efficiently, without having to waste time dialing each number by hand.
