Dialer Bot
Warm handoff beats cold transfer on live dialing floors
Definition
Warm Handoff for Calling Floors
Warm handoff means the bot finishes first-contact qualification, packages what was asked and confirmed, then connects a human agent who already knows why the lead is worth time. Cold transfer dumps a live caller with little or no context.
Built for: Call center and dispatch supervisors who measure conversion after transfer, not just connect rate.

FAQ
What is the difference between warm handoff and cold transfer?
Cold transfer connects a caller with little context. Warm handoff only connects after qualification and passes what was asked, confirmed, and why the lead scored high enough for a human.
Does Dialer Bot always transfer every call?
No. Soft maybes and tire-kickers can stay with the bot or be dispositioned. Only scored leads cross your handoff threshold.
Can supervisors review why a handoff happened?
Yes. Transcripts and recordings live in the vault so ops can search intent labels and audit transfers.
