A third option: Personnect
Personnect is a parallel dialer for B2B outbound sales teams that calls up to five people at once per rep. The usage plan is pay as you go: 8.5¢ per minute on answered calls, and calls that ring out, are busy or fail cost nothing. It has no seat fees, no platform fee and unlimited users, and no contract and no minimum term on the usage plan. Every feature is included on the usage plan.
The rep is connected the moment a person answers, with the contact's details already on screen. The summary, transcript and outcome of every call are logged and synced to your CRM, so the rep has nothing to type.
