So what exactly do Call Handling services provide, and how can it benefit your business?
Keep on reading to learn three incredible business-boosting perks that call handling services can do for you.
1. PCI Compliant Call Recording
For quality control, it has become essential for most businesses to record every telephone conversation with their clients. This will help you deal with customer service disputes, as well as ensuring your representatives are giving the most quality of service.
The best part is that it works so easily:
1. The customer dials your Planet Numbers phone number
2. A short recorded message will notify the customer that the call is being recorded for quality control.
3. You or your representative will pick up the call and continue the conversation.
4. The entire conversation will be sent to your email inbox as an MP3 file for you to listen to at your convenience.
According to a survey, poor customer service is costing UK companies more than £234 per year. Using this service will ensure you are offering the highest quality of customer service.
2. Free Call Queueing
We all know those frustrations when we have to queue on the phone for a long time, without even knowing when it’s our turn. Thankfully, with every Planet number’s business number there is an automated call queuing system.
When your customers call your number they will receive a friendly short message notifying them that there is a queue. In addition, they will also be told where in the queue they are, and how many minutes approximately that they will be waiting. You can also select the music they will be listening to while they are on hold.
