Why look for an a human telecaller alternative

A human telecaller is the default today: a person on staff who calls your leads. Its honest limitations for an Indian SMB: costs the same whether the phone rings or not; calls a lead in hours, not seconds, one call at a time; leave, attrition and ramp time, and memory and notes are spotty. If any of those matter to you, the alternatives below are worth a look.
