How to improve customer experience and contact centre efficiency

Give your customers a personalised experience

Allow your staff to deliver a personalised customer experience by providing them instant access to information on the customer’s previous interactions with your organisation. Agents will be able to greet the caller by name, view any customer specific notes and instructions, as well as the agent contact history across all contact channels.

Calls and emails that are received from known phone numbers and email addresses will trigger the ‘Customer Contact Management’ feature to display the customers details when the contact is connected to your agents.

Powerful contact management

Agents can easily save customer specific information that will be available to assist agents to handle customer interactions. customer comments gives agents a snap shot view of the customer while customer notes outline more detailed customer information.

For each customer contact, whether it be voice, email, webchat or SMS, agents can save a contact note for an existing customer record, such as what the customer was enquiring about and any follow up actions that might need to be taken.

Contact history is also accessible on an existing customer record. This powerful feature provides agents with a complete view of every contact the customer had across all contact channels and includes information such as the date and time of their last contact as well as the name of the agent who handled their last contact.

Agent efficiency and collaboration through Teams integration

Leverage the power of Microsoft Teams and enable your agents to take customer experience to the next level. Agents can easily collaborate with colleagues, both in and out of the contact centre, to achieve first call resolution and productivity is improved through the reduction of average call handling times.

The Teams integration includes the automatic synchronisation of Teams contacts as well as the ability to search for a specific contact. Agents can quickly identify a colleagues’ presence status to determine their availability to receive a call transfer or join a 3-way conference, either of which can be enabled via the fast and accurate single click-to-call feature.

If one or more colleagues appear to be busy, agents can send a Teams chat to request information or check if they are available to take a call transfer, without having to leave the Premier Contact Point Agent Desktop.
