Set wrap-up code mappings for outbound dialing

It is important to understand the distinction between wrap-up codes and wrap-up mappings:

• Wrap-up codes indicate the outcome of an interaction; for example, a completed sale. An administrator defines wrap-up codes at the queue level. While performing after call work, an agent assigns a wrap-up code to indicate the outcome of each call.
• Wrap-up mappings flag a single number or the entire contact as uncallable, based on the wrap-up code assigned to an interaction.

After defining wrap-up codes, identify any that correlate to records the system should not call again. For example, if an agent spoke with the intended party, you may not want a campaign to redial that person.

By themselves, wrap-up codes don’t make records uncallable. You can map a wrap-up code to three possible terminating classifications. These classifications tell outbound dialing whether the number dialed or all numbers in a contact row are uncallable.

In outbound dialing, under wrap-up code mappings, the classifications you can map to a wrap-up code are:

• Contact Uncallable—all telephone numbers for a contact are uncallable. This classification persists across multiple runs of a campaign and across campaigns using the same contact list.
• Number Uncallable—the number dialed when the wrap-up was assigned is uncallable. This classification persists across multiple runs of a campaign and across campaigns using the same contact list.
• Right Party Contact—the person who answered was the person the campaign was supposed to reach. The current campaign does not dial any other numbers for that contact. This classification does not persist across multiple runs of a campaign. If the campaign is recycled or completed, the contact can be dialed again unless the classification is selected as Contact Uncallable or Number Uncallable.

During the course of a campaign, agents assign wrap-up codes to indicate the outcome of each call. Afterward, wrap-up mappings determine whether a contact can be dialed again. Eventually a campaign will complete because all of its records are uncallable, based on terminating wrap-up mappings.

Example:

For example, suppose that a preview campaign offers agents three wrap-up codes: Success, Failure, and Bad Number. In outbound dialing, under wrap-up code mappings, the mappings would be:

• When an agent accomplishes the campaign goal (makes a sale for example), he assigns Success during after-call work. Success is mapped to Contact Uncallable, to prevent the contact from being dialed again.
• If the agent cannot accomplish the campaign goal, the agent assigns the Failure wrap-up. Since it is mapped to Contact Uncallable and Right Party contact, no phone numbers for that contact are dialed again.
• If a dialed number is invalid (out of service, for example), the agent assigns the Bad Number wrap-up. In this case, the wrap-up mapping prevents that number from being dialed again. If the contact record contains extra contact columns, the additional contacts are dialed.
