Customer Service
We all want to provide our customers with only the best in customer service. From well-trained employees to customer-friendly policies, it's simply what makes a good company ... great.
First, ask yourself these questions:
-
Are customers hanging up when waiting on hold?
-
If customers call back, do they say, "I thought I was disconnected because I didn't hear anything" or "I thought you forgot about me."
-
Do customers complain about long hold times?
-
Are your callers irritated or angry when they "finally talk to a human being?"
Well we have good news: we can help fix all of this.
Let's be realistic - sometimes you simply must place callers on hold. In fact, approximately 70% of callers are placed on hold. While some businesses see this as a negative, it is in fact an opportunity to make your business shine.
Still uncertain whether On-Hold messaging is right for you? Before you decide, consider these facts:
Put simply, your business cannot afford to lose customers simply because they're placed on hold.
Still uncertain? Well...think about those times when you have been placed on hold.
Then - give us a shout.
