IVR and Outbound voice solutions

Interactive Voice Response

Customer service teams are under increasing pressure to deliver exceptional service. A recent survey shows that post-COVID, 59% of consumers will care more about customer service when choosing products and services. 

Excellent customer experience is fundamental to loyalty. A positive onboarding experience substantially reduces churn rate; research shows poor onboarding accounts for up to 23% of customer churn. In addition, one in three consumers states they’re willing to switch suppliers after one negative customer service interaction.

A business is only as good as its reputation, and in a highly competitive market, that’s more important than ever. IVR empowers customers to self-serve and directs them to the most relevant department, which means your customer service team can focus on supporting customers quickly and accurately.

51% of consumers will abandon their call because of a poorly designed IVR system – costing companies an average of £203 for each customer.

80% of companies think they’re delivering superior customer service; only 8% of their customers agree. How you handle inbound calls is a key part of your customer experience.

Business benefits of IVR

Happier customers

By directing the customer to the correct department, they’ll get the answers they need sooner, without waiting on hold.

It saves time

Your agents will save time because the customer has already gone through the ID verification process and a custom menu to route calls accurately. The customer saves time because they don’t have to wait in lengthy call queues.

It’s cost effective

A survey shows that when a customer can self-serve through IVR, it costs up to seven times less than speaking to a live agent.

Build a stronger sales pipeline

IVR can automate the process of reaching out to customers and prospects. After a few simple automated questions, interested recipients are the suitable sales agents.

It helps businesses stay on brand

By mapping out a uniformed and consistent customer journey, customers know what to expect. IVR empowers businesses to deliver an experience that is always in line with their brand guidelines.

IVR grows with you

Demand forecasting is difficult. Seasonality, promotions, or industry activity can lead to spikes in demand that might exceed your resource. IVR takes the pressure off agents to handle all enquiries manually. Through API’s, IVR can integrate with your existing systems to automate repetitive communication and offers complete flexibility to adjust the experience as your business grows.
