This document defines the different disposition codes when wrapping up a call and the corresponding spiel, wherever necessary.
IMPORTANT REMINDERS:
It is very important to accurately select the correct disposition as this will have a direct impact on the dialing strategy.
We do not leave a voice message to customers’ answering machines.
You CANNOT redisposition a call.
