• It takes 22 minutes to connect using switchboard numbers, but with direct dials it only takes 5 minutes.
• When dialing a direct dial phone number at the director level, your SDR is 46% more likely to connect.
• On top of that, when dialing a direct dial number at the VP level, your SDR is 147% more likely to connect.
