The phone remains the primary customer interaction channel, averaging 65 percent of all interactions. And labor costs represent over 70 percent of contact center operating budget. So it stands to reason that contact centers must effectively manage and automate phone interactions to reduce costs, increase efficiency, and deliver a superior phone experience. But, many companies report that customer frustration levels are actually higher than ever. It’s not surprising. We’ve all had those aggravating experiences of waiting in a long phone queue, or plodding through a confusing touch-tone phone system, or speaking to agents who can’t resolve your problem. Part of the problem is that traditional voice systems are stand-alone point solutions that provide no level of personalization. The end result is typically a negative customer experience.
