How to Resume a Power Dialer List Without Calling Anyone Twice

Turn on Exclude recently dialed contacts in the LoanOfficer.ai Power Dialer to skip anyone your team already called and finish your list with no double calls.

Key takeaways

Why pick up where you left off

Calling sessions rarely end at the bottom of the list. When you come back to the same contacts later, starting over would mean calling people your team already reached, or already tried, a few days ago. Exclude recently dialed contacts solves that. You select the same list, tell the Power Dialer how far back to look, and it skips anyone who was already called in that window, so you finish the list without calling anyone twice.

Select the same contacts and open Power Dial

Start from the same contacts you were working before.

Turn on Exclude recently dialed contacts

Scroll down to Contacts. Under your selection you will see Exclude recently dialed contacts, with the note: skip anyone your team already called in this period, answered or not.

Check the count before you dial

The preview shows what is left to call. In the walkthrough, 58 of 100 contacts will be dialed now, and the 42 contacts dialed in the last 7 days will be skipped. The preview also shows when it was last checked, and every contact is checked again as it is dialed, so the count stays accurate while the session runs.

Start Power Dial and review your history

Click Start Power Dial. Only the remaining contacts get dialed, and you are right back where you left off. To see past sessions, open the Power Dial History tab. It shows totals for dials, conversations, voicemails, no-answers, and talk time, with a list of earlier sessions you can open to view their calls.
