Common questions

What is a progressive dialer and how does it work?

A progressive dialer calls through a list of leads one after another automatically, so you don't waste time manually dialing each number. With Pludor, you upload a CSV of your leads (name and phone in E.164 format), set your outbound caller ID, and work through the list progressively.

How do I stop wasting time manually dialing my lead list?

Use a dialer that works through your list for you. In Pludor, open Dialer at pludor.com/answering, tick Enable Dialer, enter your Outbound Caller ID Number (E.164), upload your CSV file, and start calling through the list.

How much does Pludor's progressive dialer cost?

It's on for every store, including the Free plan, with a free amount every month - then you pay only for what you use, at 1 credit = 1 cent. New stores also get 500 free credits, and no card is needed to start.

How do I set up outbound calling for my sales team?

You need a Pludor store, which is free to create at pludor.com/setup. Then open the Dialer, enable it, set your outbound caller ID in E.164 format, upload your leads CSV, and start calling. It suits sales teams calling their own leads and service businesses following up quotes.

Is it legal to use a dialer to call leads?

Only call people who have agreed to be contacted, and follow your local calling laws. That's the rule Pludor itself states for the dialer, so make sure your list is consented before uploading it.

Can I show my business phone number when making outbound calls?

Yes - in the Dialer settings you enter your own Outbound Caller ID Number in E.164 format, and that's what recipients see. You can use a platform-managed number or your own number on Pludor.

Can the dialer work with an AI receptionist for missed calls?

Yes. Pludor's AI receptionist answers calls, texts and chats, and you set it up at pludor.com/answering by adding your hours, services, prices and common questions, then forwarding your calls. The first 100 AI replies and 10 calls a month are free, and everything lands in one unified Inbox and Calendar.

How do I follow up with leads after dialing them?

Track them in Pludor's Leads pipeline under Outreach & CRM: move each lead through statuses, add labels, and press Convert to create their order when they buy. You can also save quick-reply templates, set Nudges for reminders, and run campaigns on the Scale plan.

How does Pludor compare to GoHighLevel or a human answering service for outbound calling?

Human services typically charge per minute and standalone AI lines are separate tools, while Pludor puts the dialer, AI receptionist, unified inbox, calendar and leads pipeline on one platform. Booking goes straight into your Pludor calendar and services, and after the call your leads, follow-ups and campaigns are built in rather than exported to a separate CRM. You pay per use with credits (1 credit = 1 cent).
