How many dials does a three-line session really make?
These are percentiles from 90 days of production use: three-line power-dial sessions with one human operator taking every live answer. Below: the numbers, exactly how they were counted, what they leave out, and what other vendors advertise.
Measured in production use.
90 days of real calling, 3-line power-dial sessions, one human operator per session. Percentiles, not a promise.

The numbers, by unit.
These results describe the stated production cohort, not a multi-customer average or a forecast. Each metric uses the denominator shown below. Test and demonstration activity is excluded and cannot be used to estimate real prospect connect rates. Percentiles are computed over the units in the window, not averaged across them.
| Unit | Definition | Median (p50) | p90 | Peak |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Active calling hour | An hour with dialing activity in a three-line session. | ~85 | ~134 | 196 |
| Operator day | A day on which one operator placed 50 or more dials. | ~600 | ~763 | 981 |
| Operator week | One operator's dials across a calendar week. | ~2,850 | not published | ~3,790 |
Window
90 days of production use ending 2026-09-26. Rates marked 30-day use the last 30 days only.
Sessions
Power-dial sessions at three concurrent lines. One human operator per session took every live answer. No predictive pacing.
Statistics
Median, 90th percentile and single observed peak, computed over hours, operator days and operator weeks.
Privacy
Aggregate and anonymized. No lead, number or operator is identifiable from the published figures.
Definitions.
- Dial
- One outbound attempt to one number. Not a unique person reached; the same lead can receive more than one eligible attempt.
- Person-connect
- A dial answered by a human, reported per attempt over the last 30 days: 17.8%.
- Voicemail rate
- Dials that reached a machine or voicemail, per dial over the last 30 days: 26.7%.
- AI coverage
- Human connects with a summary and opportunity flag, over human connects in the last 30 days: 78%.
- Percentile
- p50 is the median: half the hours, days or weeks were at or below it. p90 means nine in ten were at or below it. Peak is the single highest observed value.
- Session
- A power-dial run by one human operator with up to three concurrent lines. Every live answer went to that person.
Monthly dials in the window.
Bars represent calendar months (June 1-30, July 1-31, August 1-31) and partial September (1-26). The separate 90-day benchmark window is June 28-September 26, 2026; do not interpret the June bar as only June 28-30.
What the numbers do not show.
- They are not a conversion funnel. Counts and rates are separate measures and should not be multiplied together.
- They are not a multi-customer average or a controlled experiment.
- They do not forecast your results. List quality, market, hours and policy all change throughput.
- A recording or summary is a processing output, not proof of a qualified conversation.

First-party vendor claims, originally checked 2026-09-28 and rechecked for corrected rows on 2026-09-29. Customer examples and marketing multipliers are not universal product ceilings; confirm conflicting line counts with the vendor.

Competitor cells paraphrase vendor public pages, linked in the first column (additional source URLs appear in the source records), checked on each record's date. Kixie and Orum line counts have conflicting or changed vendor wording; confirm the configuration. "Not stated" means the page we fetched published no figure; we did not estimate one. Vendor claims are advertised figures, often multipliers against manual dialing. Our figures are measured, methodology here. Prices change; confirm on the vendor's site.
Benchmark questions.
Want the numbers for your own list? Use the calculator, and measure live calling performance only after production setup.
Are these numbers a promise for my team?
No. They are percentiles from production use by one kind of calling operation. Your list quality, market, hours, operator and calling policy will move them. Use them as a reference point, and measure live calling performance only after production setup.
Why publish percentiles instead of a single average?
Averages hide the spread. A median tells you what a typical hour or day looked like, p90 tells you what a strong one looked like, and the peak shows the ceiling we observed. Together they are harder to misread than one flattering number.
Why is the week median not five times the day median?
Operator days count only days with 50 or more dials, while weeks include every day an operator worked, including short days. Not every week had five full calling days.
How do these compare with other vendors?
Most vendors publish multipliers against manual dialing or a ceiling such as calls per hour, not measured percentiles. The table on this page puts their published words next to our measured numbers, with the source and the date we checked.
