<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/blog\/how-to-design-ivr-system\/\">cleverly optimised IVR system<\/a> with clear instructions to customers on how to get through to each of your departments can save your staff time as they will not need to speak to every single customer and direct them to the right place. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Most customers will be able to self-select and will be automatically directed to the department they need, so staff will only answer calls they are equipped to deal with and no other calls to waste their time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It may be that you can give customers all the information they need on your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/solutions\/interactive-voice-response\/\">IVR system<\/a>, for example, you could add some frequently asked questions onto your system and play these to customers who have made the relevant selections. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This could cut out the need to speak to your staff at all and customers will be pleased that their issue is solved. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This is particularly useful if your services are experiencing widespread issues or outages &#8211; a simple message on your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/solutions\/interactive-voice-response\/\">IVR system<\/a> can stop multiple customers from calling in while your staff can work on the problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Earn More Money<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A well-optimised <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/solutions\/interactive-voice-response\/\">IVR system<\/a> can also earn you money. An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/blog\/improve-customer-experience\/\">improved customer experience<\/a> will mean your customers are more likely to make repeat purchases, or new customers are more likely to make a purchase with you. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If they have confidence in being able to reach your business whenever they need to and the process is not a gruelling one, then customers will be more inclined to use your business &#8211; and to recommend you to other customers through word of mouth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The lower the amount of barriers between your business and your customers the better, and a well-optimised IVR system takes down another barrier making it simple for customers to contact you &#8211; which will lead to increased sales and happy customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How To Make The Most Of Your IVR System<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">We have set out why optimising your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/solutions\/interactive-voice-response\/\">IVR system<\/a> is a great idea for your business to save money and increase customer satisfaction, but there are some practical steps you can take to make your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/solutions\/interactive-voice-response\/\">IVR system<\/a> work for your business and your customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You should ensure that the options are clear and that customers who have never heard of your business before would be able to navigate them easily. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If the options are confusing then customers will end up coming through to the incorrect department and this causes long waiting times and can actually damage your customer experience. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You should also ensure that you update your system regularly with any new departments or important information your customers might need to know about your services. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This way customers can be kept informed and this will make conversations much easier for your agents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Finally, finding out what your customers most frequently call your business for and using this information to answer frequently asked questions on your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/solutions\/interactive-voice-response\/\">IVR system<\/a> is a great way to help customer experience and stop customers coming through to your agents unnecessarily.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Each <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/solutions\/interactive-voice-response\/\">IVR system<\/a> will be different, and what works for one company may not work for you &#8211; so keep adapting your system based on customer feedback and based on agent feedback and you will create a highly optimised system which works brilliantly for your business and your customers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If your competitors do not have an optimised system but you do, you can be sure that potential customers will notice the difference in service and may choose your business to purchase from based on their experience, so it is important to keep your IVR updated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">To find out more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acefone.com\/solutions\/interactive-voice-response\/\">IVR systems<\/a> and how you could optimise yours, call on <a href=\"tel:1888-859-0450\">1888-859-0450<\/a> and speak to our expert team.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An IVR (Interactive Voice Response) system is not just another amazing feature on your hosted phone system, it can be an integral part of your marketing and sales strategy if you invest some time into optimising it so it works for your business and your customers.
