Outbound Dialing Reference Guide

This week we launch the second phase of the Outbound Dialling Reference Guide. 19 articles have been added or updated, bringing the total to 32 articles.
As far as we can work out, this makes it the largest independent collection of writing on outbound dialling on the internet.
What makes it different is that it has been written collaboratively by a team of people from across the industry. We have used a wiki-based platform, so that it can easily be updated by any of the project team.
The guide contains a wide range of information from beginners to intermediate levels.

Hello, I really liked the information you have compiled.
I feel there are several centres who actually follow these procedures but not a in a structured format, which you have laid int he above document.
I have been involved in inbound and outbound call centre operations for over 5 years and now head the business development team for our company. Will be happy to know if I can value add to your information.
Regards,
Nawaz Pasha
