your Bank..

IVR now, do you?

18. By having a complicated IVR setup
(Don't make your customers feel like
this!)

19. By connecting an unsolicited tele-

20. How do you make IVR work for your
business?
● Configure IVR:
– By Work Function (Sales, Support, Payments, etc.)
– By Phone Number & caller ID
– By using your CRM database integrated with IVR
– By utilizing Intelligent routing with last input
– By order ID
– Etc.

21. Understand your prospective
customer
● When will your customer call you?
● Are they in a hurry?
● Are they in an emergency?
● Will they be patient to listen all the options?
● Will they understand the IVR options?

22. Use intelligent systems and
technology

23. And sometimes just remove IVR for a while to see
if you really need it.
Do you really need IVR?

24. Sometimes, customers just want to
talk to you – like how JD does it

be used right
