Dialing duration recommendation

Key takeaways

• There is no single "best" dialer — only what's right for your context.
• The core trade-off is always efficiency vs. quality.
• Predictive = best for calling at scale. Use it when speed matters more than experience.
• Power dialer (0 sec) = best for balance. The safe default for most teams.
• Power dialer (with preview) = best for conversion. Use when lead value is high.
• Click-to-call = dial with precision. Use when quality always beats quantity.

Not sure where to start?

Start with Power dialer (0 sec preview) and a 22–25 second ring time. Then monitor your contact rate and conversion rate and adjust based on your results.
