How Many Rings Should I Set the Dialer for?

Setting Ring Count for Prospecting with Mojo

When prospecting with Mojo, you can customize how many rings occur before a call is marked as "No Answer." This feature runs automatically in the background, significantly improving your prospecting efficiency.

Ring Count Guidelines

  • 4-5 rings: Ideal if your goal is to speak with live people and minimize answering machine/voicemail encounters
  • 6-7 rings: Best choice if you want to maximize every call opportunity and are comfortable leaving messages on answering machines/voicemails

Optimizing Your Contact Rate

If you're using a 4-ring cycle and experiencing low contact rates:

  • Increase to 5 rings when calling landlines
  • Increase to at least 6 rings when calling mobile phones

Important Note About Mobile Calls

When calling mobile phones, the system counts rings on Mojo's side, not the recipient's side:

  • The first 1-2 rings often occur while the cellular network locates the subscriber
  • This means your 4-ring setting might only give the recipient 2 actual rings to answer
  • This limitation applies to ALL mobile calls, regardless of whether you're using Mojo or another system
