Cloud based predictive dialer with Press-1 Campaign
Posted on (updated ) by Areski

DialerAI is a cloud based predictive dialer which can increase your outbound call center productivity resulting in increased sales through lead generation using press-1 campaigns and direct live lead transfer.
We just released a video that demonstrate how easy it is to create a press-1 campaign with DialerAI
How to create press-1 campaign
A press-1 campaign is where you:
- Auto-dial a prospect.
- Play a pre-recorded advertising message.
- Invite them to press-1 to speak to an agent.
- Transfer the call to an agent when they press 1.

Why press-1 campaigns work
The advantage over a plain predictive dialer is that agents only ever talk to people who’ve just indicated they’re interested — nobody is connected to a call where the prospect hangs up the moment a human answers. That makes press-1 a good fit for:
- Lead generation and telemarketing, where you want agents spending their time on warm conversations, not cold pickups.
- Political campaigning and get-out-the-vote calls, where a recorded message from a candidate or campaign reaches far more voters than live callers alone could.
- Debt collection and appointment reminders, where most calls just need a short acknowledgement and only a fraction need a live agent.
Setting it up
A press-1 campaign uses the same survey builder as any other DialerAI campaign: build the flow with a play-audio node for your message, a multiple-choice node for the press-1 prompt, and a transfer node that routes the call to an available agent. Because it’s built on the standard survey engine, you can extend a simple press-1 flow into a longer menu later — for example offering press-2 for a callback request — without switching to a different tool.
