Here are some of the most important functions of IVR.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"color: #3791cf;\"><b>Collect Customer Information- <\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To route the call to the right agent, the IVR first collects information about the caller\u2019s needs.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This could be the particular product or service they need help with and the type of support they need.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"color: #3791cf;\"><b>Route Calls to Agents- <\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the IVR collects the caller info, it can route them to the agent or department most qualified to meet their needs. Thus reducing customer wait times and ensuring they\u2019re routed to the right agent without error.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><b><span style=\"color: #3791cf;\"><b>Answer Simple Queries-<\/b><\/span> <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not all customer issues or needs require human intervention. Basic things like account information, common details about your business, frequently asked questions, and more can be answered through pre-recorded responses.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"color: #3791cf;\"><b>Automate Customer Support- <\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An IVR lets customers solve certain issues without speaking to a customer service agent. You can pre-record responses to FAQs and solutions to other common problems and the caller can navigate to a solution.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"color: #3791cf;\"><b>Conduct Surveys- <\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An IVR can help you collect feedback in real-time with simple surveys at the end of their interaction.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"color: #3791cf;\"><b>Implement Marketing Promotions- <\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When inbound calls come in, you can introduce special offers or promote new products or services while the caller is waiting to be routed. It can also be integrated into marketing campaigns to enter contests, redeem an offer, or take a survey.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Understanding_the_IVR_Flow_How_a_Call_Gets_Answered\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #3791cf;\"><b>Understanding the IVR Flow: How a Call Gets Answered<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IVRs work just like any phone call. The only difference is that it\u2019s automated and allows for self-service options. Here\u2019s what a typical IVR flow looks like:<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A caller calls your customer service number<\/span><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The IVR welcomes the customer with an automated message.<\/span><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After greeting the caller, the IVR provides him\/her with a series of menu options. For example, Please press 1 for English, Appuyez sur 2 pour le fran\u00e7ais and so on.<\/span><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The caller then chooses from these options to get connected to either another pre-recorded message or to a customer service agent.<\/span><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If there\u2019s a queue, the customer is put on hold briefly. This is where you can make use of on-hold messages and music.<\/span><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the line is free the customer is connected to the correct agent.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_IVR\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #3791cf;\"><b>Benefits of IVR<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s go over some of the benefits this product could have on your business.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"color: #3791cf;\"><b>Quicker Response Times- <\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">90% of customers consider an immediate response important or very important when looking for customer support. An IVR system can speed up the support process with self-service menus. You can also use pre-recorded IVR messages for simple questions to reduce response times.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"color: #3791cf;\"><b>More Accurate Routing- <\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IVRs prompt customers to specify their needs by choosing options from a menu using their keypad or voice. This helps accurately route them to the department best equipped to answer their questions. For simple queries, the IVR can direct them to pre-recorded responses.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"color: #3791cf;\"><b>Lower Resolution Times- <\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An IVR significantly increases the chances of fast resolution because callers are directed to the most appropriate agent or department, cutting down the need to transfer to another rep. For queries that don\u2019t need human intervention, pre-recorded responses, and automation exponentially speed up the resolution.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"color: #3791cf;\"><b>Higher Customer Satisfaction- <\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A reliable IVR ensures that customers are always directed to the right department or agent. This accuracy, along with the IVR\u2019s quick and automated responses, helps the customer feel well attended to. Because they\u2019re automated, IVRs always answer on the first ring and are available 24\u00d77, even during holidays and breaks. Together all this helps achieve higher customer satisfaction.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"color: #3791cf;\"><b>Lower Operational Costs- <\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employing IVR reduces costs to a great extent. IVRs can replace a receptionist or a customer service agent who answers calls and directs calls to other agents.\u00a0 When an efficient IVR system is in place customers will make fewer calls, leading agents to spend less time on the expensive voice channel. They are also very affordable, will increase efficiency, and will reduce operational costs, so the ROI is huge.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><b><span style=\"color: #3791cf;\">Improved Customer Service Handling-<\/span> <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IVR also significantly increases first contact resolution. Callers are always directed to the agent who is most capable of solving their problems or the most appropriate department to do the same. All of this results in a significant increase in company efficiency.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"color: #3791cf;\"><b>24\u00d77 Availability- <\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customers can make use of the IVR systems at any time of the day as it can perform its task 24 hours a day, 7 days a week if you want it to. While office hours, holidays, and breaks dictate and limit an employee\u2019s availability, IVR systems are always at a customer\u2019s disposal.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"color: #3791cf;\"><b>Greater Personalization- <\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IVR systems allow for tremendous personalization that helps to create a better relationship with customers. Each IVR system can be programmed with personalized greetings for known callers based on their caller ID information.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to programming caller information, IVR systems are fitted with a number of language options. Language options can be programmed for specific callers as well, which may help existing and\/or potential customers feel more comfortable.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"color: #3791cf;\"><b>Improved Company Image- <\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IVRs are being used by startups and smaller companies to make their companies look bigger than they actually are. An IVR is easy to use and reliable, customers will never be routed to the wrong department or to an agent who cannot solve their problems. With an IVR your customers will be impressed with your company\u2019s professionalism.<br \/><br \/><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"cta-container\">\r\n<p class=\"cta-description\">Achieve instant response for customers, enhancing satisfaction and efficiency in fields from <span style=\"color: #00529d; font-weight: 600 !important;\">real estate to retail<\/span>.

Below you would find some common issues that we have observed with many IVR systems.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"color: #3791cf;\"><b>Complicated Call Flow- <\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">63% of customers agreed that IVR ruins the overall customer experience because they are forced to listen to irrelevant options. Your customers are not really calling to interact with your IVR endlessly. It\u2019s not a good practice to make the menu overcomplicated, with plenty of choices and confusing categories. All options should be clear, short, and straightforward so that the caller can easily and quickly make the best choice for them.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"color: #3791cf;\"><b>Lack of Agents- <\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You would not wish to lose your customers just because of the fact that they are not able to get a chance to interact personally with any of your customer care executives. Sometimes, there are customers who are not very satisfied with the automated process. They may not be able to trust these systems all the time. In such situations, it is always helpful to have a customer care executive easily available for their help.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"color: #3791cf;\"><b>Long Hold Times- <\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can be frustrating for the callers to interact with a menu for a while, only to be asked to wait even more. If you\u2019re really struggling with the number of calls at a given time &#8211; give your customers a chance to ask for a callback. Many of them will prefer that over waiting for too long.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"color: #3791cf;\"><b>Too Much Information- <\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though your callers need some details from you &#8211; start introducing them gradually. Wait for a caller to ask for more information, instead of offering it all upfront and creating confusion in the process.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><b><span style=\"color: #3791cf;\">Low-quality of Voice Prompts-<\/span> <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In some cases, pre-recorded or generated messages are just hard to understand. It\u2019s either because the person who recorded those wasn\u2019t a professional, or the cheap text-to-speech software was used. In both cases, the quality of such voice prompts will be low and annoying.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Do_for_A_Positive_Calling_Experience\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #3791cf;\"><b>What to Do for A Positive Calling Experience?<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Want to know the key to improving your customer experience through IVR, let\u2019s tell you how!<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><b><i>\u201c60% of callers put on-hold hang up within 40 seconds and callers put on hold with messages and music will stay about 3 minutes longer.\u201d<br \/><\/i><\/b><b><i>\u201cOver 85% of callers prefer on-hold messages over silence.\u201d (Cellular Marketing Magazine)<br \/><\/i><\/b><b><i>\u201c60% of customers feel that long holds and wait times are the most frustrating parts of a service experience.\u201d (HubSpot)<br \/><\/i><\/b><b><i>\u201c55% of communication is lost over the phone (body language), leaving us with 38% through tone of voice and just 7% through words.\u201d<br \/><\/i><\/b><b><i>\u201cWithout music or messages, 90% of those on hold will hang up and 34% won&#8217;t call back.\u201d<br \/><\/i><\/b><b><i>\u201c16-20% of callers made a purchasing decision based on information they heard while on hold.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you can see from these statistics, giving the wrong message in the wrong tone could actually damage your sales and your reputation. On the other hand, if you deliver the right information in the right voice, you may actually improve sales. Many companies spend time and money on their visual branding but neglect their telephone audio. Your sonic branding is as important as your visual branding. But, how do you integrate that into your IVR system for a positive calling experience?<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you have to put a customer on hold, you\u2019re playing with fire.
