Orum is an AI-powered parallel dialer that allows SDRs to dial multiple prospects simultaneously — connecting them to the first human that picks up and automatically dropping calls that hit voicemail. By eliminating the dead time of sequential dialling, unanswered calls, and voicemail recordings, Orum enables SDRs to have 5–10x more live conversations per day compared to traditional power dialers.
Product Overview
Traditional outbound calling is brutally inefficient: connect rates of 5–8% mean reps spend most of their day listening to dial tones and voicemails rather than having conversations. Orum's parallel dialling engine calls 3–10 numbers simultaneously, uses AI to detect live human answers versus voicemail, and connects the rep only to the humans — skipping voicemails, busy signals, and disconnected numbers automatically. The result is that a rep can have 15–20 live conversations in the same time it would take to make 15–20 total dials with a sequential dialler. Orum's live conversation coach provides real-time AI coaching cues and battle cards during connected calls, and automatically logs call outcomes to Salesforce or HubSpot with disposition codes and recordings.
Key Features
- Parallel Dialling: Dial 3–10 numbers simultaneously — AI detects live human answers and connects the rep instantly, skipping voicemails.
- Voicemail Detection: AI identifies voicemail greetings and drops them automatically — or leaves a pre-recorded voicemail drop in one click.
- Live Conversation Coach: Real-time AI cues and battle cards during connected calls — coaching without interrupting the conversation flow.
- CRM Integration: Automatically log call outcomes, dispositions, and recordings to Salesforce and HubSpot — zero manual CRM entry.
- Calling Analytics: Track connect rates, conversation time, and dials per hour by rep — benchmark performance and identify coaching opportunities.
