In the world of outbound marketing, speed to lead and contact rates can make or break your campaign results. If you're dialing manually or using outdated systems, you're likely missing valuable opportunities to connect with potential customers—and leaving revenue on the table.
At Gemstone Data, we provide high-quality telemarketing lists, but the data alone isn’t enough. To fully unlock your sales potential, you need the right tools to reach those leads quickly and compliantly. That’s why we often recommend pairing your lists with robust dialing solutions like those offered by Convoso.
In this post, we’ll break down how the right dialer system can increase your contact rate and walk through the different types of dialers—so you can choose the best one for your business.
Why Dialer Choice Matters
When using telemarketing lists—whether you're targeting Medicare leads, insurance prospects, or home improvement buyers—your team’s success depends on how many of those contacts you can actually reach.
Poor contact rates waste time, money, and lead potential. But the right dialer helps you:
- Increase call volume without sacrificing quality
- Reach the right contacts faster
- Minimize agent idle time
- Stay compliant with TCPA and DNC regulations
- Improve conversion rates and ROI
Let’s take a look at the four main types of dialers offered by Convoso and how each one supports different call center needs.
Predictive Dialer: For High-Volume Sales Teams
A predictive dialer is ideal for teams looking to connect with as many people as possible in a short period of time. It uses algorithms to determine when agents will be available and automatically dials multiple numbers at once—connecting a live call only when someone picks up.
Benefits:
- Maximizes agent talk time
- Increases call volume dramatically
- Reduces downtime between calls
Best for:
- Large outbound sales teams (20+ agents)
- Lead-heavy campaigns
- Time-sensitive promotions or limited-time offers
Predictive dialers are especially powerful when combined with accurate, targeted lead data from Gemstone Data. The result? More conversations and more conversions.
Power Dialer: For Controlled Outbound Campaigns
A power dialer automates dialing but only calls one number per available agent. It gives your team more control over pacing without sacrificing speed.
Benefits:
- Reduces agent burnout
- Balances speed and personalization
- Improves call quality
Best for:
- Smaller or mid-sized teams
- Campaigns requiring deeper conversations
- B2B or consultative sales
If your sales process relies on thoughtful discussions—like explaining Medicare supplements or financial products—this dialer gives you the control you need.
Preview Dialer: For Personalized Conversations
A preview dialer allows agents to view lead details before placing the call. This gives reps the opportunity to prepare for meaningful, personalized outreach.
Benefits:
- Greater personalization
- Improved lead qualification
- Higher conversion potential
Best for:
- High-value or complex leads
- B2B sales
- Enterprise outreach
If every lead matters, a preview dialer ensures your team is well-informed and ready to deliver a strong pitch from the first hello.
Progressive Dialer: For Compliance and Control
A progressive dialer automatically calls one number at a time per available agent—only after the agent finishes the previous call. Agents don’t have the option to skip calls, which reduces dropped or abandoned calls.
Benefits:
- Supports compliance standards
- Prevents skipped leads
- Maintains consistent pace
Best for:
- Heavily regulated industries (insurance, healthcare, finance)
- Mid-sized call centers
- Teams needing structure + automation
Pair this dialer with compliant opt-in data from Gemstone Data for peace of mind and powerful outreach.
Manual Dialing with Click-to-Comply
There are times when manual dialing is required—such as calling wireless numbers without prior express written consent. Convoso’s Click-to-Comply feature makes manual dialing easy and compliant.
How it works:
Agents initiate calls with a single click, but the system does not auto-dial. This keeps your campaign compliant with TCPA and other regulations.
Benefits:
- Maintains compliance
- Reduces manual dialing fatigue
- Keeps call logs organized
If you're running campaigns that include manual outreach, this tool is a must-have for efficiency and legal protection.
Dialer + Data = Results

But without the right dialer, your agents may never get the chance to pitch those leads.
When you combine our high-quality data with the right dialing technology, the result is:
- Higher contact rates
- Better conversations
- Increased conversions
