Dnc's 7%+ Connection rate vs Non DNC 2% connection rate

[Mark Weins]

Hi,

I tried two dialing strategy's with the exact same setups where I was calling the exact same list and had connection rates of 7%+ when calling DNC's versus barely 2% when calling non DNC's. The only difference is that we were using hand dialing for DNC's and for Non DNC's we were using a dialer. Our lead rate went down from 1.8% to 0.1-0.2% when auto dialing non-dnc's for some reason but when we hand dialed DNC numbers the majority of our leads were Non-Dnc. I could maybe deal with the connection rate but the lead rate is the big one because it's 9-18x lower and at this point I kind of don't see how calling non-dnc's would be viable at this point. Statistically to get 1 lead calling the exact same lists for DNC's you need to place 56 calls to get 1 lead but with an autodialer you would need to place 1000 calls.
