Waiting times, while still unavoidable in some extreme cases, can most of the time be avoided. The simple solution is a Call Back your company to the customer. Talk to them, ask them what they want and see if it's something that will take time, ask them to call you back (Call Back) in a way that is suitable for your company and your customer.
The following are the 3 main benefits that the Call Back brings to your call centers:
1. No lead loss / customer retention
Customers who could have become paying customers tend to walk away from your company if they are put on hold. When configuring a Call Back with them, call centers can ensure there is no harm done to the business.
When a customer calls, talk to them, get all the information you need to help them, tell them all the things they want to know and if something comes up that will take a while, ask them to wait for a call, ie offer a Call Back.
This makes the whole process much simpler and helps give the customer a much better experience. Make sure you are ready to call them back at the time agreed with the customer.
2. Cost reduction
Putting a customer on hold is bad not only for their temper but also for the company's coffers. Hold times mean that both the calling line and the call agent are busy. Since most voice lines are billed by the minute, keeping a caller on hold ends up costing your business a lot.
