Snapshot 2026-09-26
How many dials does a single-line session really make?
These are the numbers from 90 days of the team's own calling, single line, one operator. A typical hour, a busy hour, a typical day — with the honest single-line basis for each, and what other vendors advertise. Jetstream dials up to 3 lines; three-line numbers are not measured yet.
The numbers, by unit.
These results describe the stated production cohort, not a multi-customer average or a forecast. Each metric uses the denominator shown below. Test and demonstration activity is excluded and cannot be used to estimate real prospect connect rates. Typical and busy figures are computed over the units in the window, not averaged across them.
| Unit | Definition | Typical | Busy | Peak |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Active calling hour | An hour with dialing activity in a single-line session, one operator. | ~85 | ~134 | 196 |
| Operator day | A day on which one operator placed 50 or more dials. | ~600 | ~763 | 981 |
| Operator week | One operator's dials across a calendar week. | ~2,850 | not published | ~3,790 |
Window
90 days of production use ending 2026-09-26. Rates marked 30-day use the last 30 days only.
Sessions
Single-line sessions, one operator. Every live answer went to that person. No predictive pacing. Jetstream dials up to 3 lines; 3-line production benchmarks will be published once measured.
Statistics
Typical (the middle result), busy (nine in ten results at or below it) and the single highest result we saw, computed over hours, operator days and operator weeks.
Privacy
Aggregate and anonymized. No lead, number or operator is identifiable from the published figures.
Definitions.
- Dial
- One outbound attempt to one number. Not a unique person reached; the same lead can receive more than one eligible attempt.
- Person-connect
- A dial answered by a human, reported per attempt over the last 30 days: 17.8%.
- Voicemail rate
- Dials that reached a machine or voicemail, per dial over the last 30 days: 26.7%.
- How to read the results
- Typical is the middle result. Busy means nine in ten results were at or below it. Peak is the highest result we saw.
- Session
- A power-dial run measured here: single-line sessions, one operator. Every live answer went to that person. Jetstream dials up to 3 lines; 3-line production benchmarks will be published once measured.
Monthly dials in the window.
Bars represent calendar months (June 1-30, July 1-31, August 1-31) and partial September (1-26). The separate 90-day benchmark window is June 28-September 26, 2026; do not interpret the June bar as only June 28-30.
What the numbers do not show.
- They are not a conversion funnel. Counts and rates are separate measures and should not be multiplied together.
- They are not a multi-customer average or a controlled experiment.
- They do not forecast your results. List quality, market, hours and policy all change throughput.
What other vendors advertise.
First-party vendor claims, originally checked 2026-09-28 and rechecked for corrected rows on 2026-09-29. Customer examples and marketing multipliers are not universal product ceilings; confirm conflicting line counts with the vendor.

Competitor cells paraphrase vendor public pages, linked in the first column (additional source URLs appear in the source records), checked on each record's date. Kixie and Orum line counts have conflicting or changed vendor wording; confirm the configuration. "Not stated" means the page we fetched published no figure; we did not estimate one. Vendor claims are advertised figures, often multipliers against manual dialing. Prices change; confirm on the vendor's site.
Benchmark questions.
Want the numbers for your own list? Use the calculator, and measure live calling performance only after your first calling session.
Are these numbers a promise for my team?
No. They are the team's own daily use on a single line. Your list quality, market, hours, operator and calling policy will move them. Use them as a reference point, and measure live calling performance only after your first calling session.
Why a typical and a busy number instead of one average?
A single average hides the spread. The typical hour or day tells you what a normal run looked like; the busy one shows a strong run; the busiest seen shows the ceiling. Together they are harder to misread than one flattering number.
Why is the typical week not five times the typical day?
Operator days count only days with 50 or more dials, while weeks include every day an operator worked, including short days. Not every week had five full calling days.
How do these compare with other vendors?
Most vendors publish multipliers against manual dialing or a ceiling such as calls per hour, not measured typical and busy figures. The table on this page puts their published words next to our measured numbers, with the source and the date we checked.
Measure your own baseline.
A person on our team sets up your workspace. These benchmarks are single-line sessions, one operator. Jetstream dials up to 3 lines; 3-line production benchmarks will be published once measured.
