Understanding Success Rate

Your success rate depends on many factors:

Success Rate

What It Means

80%+

Excellent! Great patient engagement

60-80%

Good. Normal for first campaigns

40-60%

Okay. Room for improvement

<40%

Needs attention. Check call quality/timing

💡 Tip

For your first campaign, 50-70% success is completely normal. As you refine your approach, you'll improve.


Step 2: Analyze Outcomes

Let's see what happened with each call.

View Outcome Breakdown

  1. On your Run Detail page, scroll to Outcome Distribution

  2. You'll see a chart showing:

    • ✅ Success

    • ❌ Failures (with reasons)

    • 📵 No Answer

    • ⏸️ Busy

    • 📞 Voicemail

    • 🚫 Opted Out

[INSERT IMAGE: Pie chart showing outcome distribution]

Common Outcomes Explained

Outcome

Why It Happens

What to Do

Success

Call connected, goals achieved

Nothing - this is perfect!

No Answer

Patient didn't pick up

Normal. Retry if needed

Busy

Patient's line was busy

Retry automatically

Voicemail

Got voicemail instead of patient

Message left. Follow up if needed

Failure

Technical issue or hangup

Review and investigate

Opted Out

Patient requested no more calls

Respect their choice

Red Flags to Watch For

⚠️ High failure rate (>20%): Check call quality, timing, or agent script
⚠️ Many opt-outs (>5%): Patients may find calls intrusive. Review approach
⚠️ Very short call duration (<30 sec): Patients hanging up immediately


Step 3: Listen to Sample Recordings

This is important! Listen to actual calls to understand how agents performed.

How to Listen

  1. Go to Calls in the sidebar (or click Calls tab on your run)

  2. Filter to show Success outcomes

  3. Click any engagement

  4. Click Play Recording ▶️

  5. Read along with the transcript

[INSERT IMAGE: Call detail page with play button and transcript]

What to Listen For

Good signs:

  • Agent sounds natural and conversational

  • Patient is engaged and responsive

  • Goals are achieved (appointment confirmed, medication verified, etc.)

  • Smooth hand-off to human if needed

Warning signs:

  • Agent sounds robotic or unnatural

  • Patient seems confused

  • Important information is missed

  • Call ends abruptly

💡 Tip

Listen to 5-10 recordings: mix of successes, failures, and no-answers. This gives you a complete picture.

Share Feedback

If you notice issues:

  1. Click Report Issue on the call detail page

  2. Describe what went wrong

  3. Support will review and improve the agent


Step 4: Handle Tasks

Your campaign likely created tasks for follow-up. Let's address them.

View Your Tasks

  1. Click Tasks in the sidebar

  2. You'll see all open tasks from your campaign

  3. Look for tasks with your campaign name

  3. Add notes about what you did

  4. Change status to Resolved

  5. Click Save

💡 Tip

Assign tasks to appropriate team members. Don't try to handle everything yourself!


Step 5: Identify Lessons Learned

Take 5 minutes to reflect on what worked and what didn't.

Questions to Ask

About Timing

  • What time of day had best success rates?

  • Which days had most no-answers?

  • Were calls too early or too late?

About Patient Selection

  • Which patient groups responded best?

  • Were there clear patterns in success vs failure?

  • Should I segment patients differently?

About Agent Performance

  • Did the agent sound natural?

  • Were conversations flowing well?

  • Did patients understand the purpose?

  • Should I try a different agent version?

About Campaign Design

  • Was the goal clear and achievable?

  • Did automations work as expected?

  • Were the right tasks created?

  • Should I adjust campaign settings?

Document Your Findings

Create a simple note with your observations:

First Campaign Learnings: 
- Best time: 10am-2pm (80% success)
- Worst time: Before 9am (40% success)
- Agent sounded great, very natural
- Need to improve callback task workflow
- Patients confused about pharmacy question
- Next time: Call between 10am-4pm only
