Abstract

A system and method automatically allocates agent resources and prioritizes call campaigns to maximize productivity of a call center by prioritizing call distribution along with agent resource allocation to those campaigns enjoying a high level of success, such as sales success, during a particular period of time. A plurality of call campaigns are grouped together to form a pacing group. Each call campaign in the pacing group is then assigned a campaign pacing ratio each having a sales success criteria. During the processing of the call campaigns, the pacing ratio of each call campaign will then be adjusted, whereby those campaigns realizing higher levels of current sales success will have their pacing ratios increased while those experiencing lower levels of current success will have their pacing ratios decreased.
