Technology is at its prime and there are trends shaping up which might come across as anti-intuitive in the first glance. One might think, since when did dehumanization of a business become an effective business strategy? What happened to the good old personal touch?
If this is your exact thought stream right now, you’re in for a surprise!
Did you know that customers are expected to manage 85% of the relationship with the enterprise without interacting with a human by 2020? – Gartner Report 2011. With an ever increasing self-service trend, voice automation comes as a great solution for your business.
What is IVR?
All of us are familiar with the standard voice recordings, menu options and struggle to quickly bypass the whole labyrinth to get the information, which prompts us to make a call in the first place.
How it came to this and what your business can possibly gain from it?
IVR stands for Interactive Voice Response and at the most elemental level, it tries to automate interactions which are bound to take place over a call. Originally IVR was mainly used to route calls, which resulted in cost saving for the business but came with a long wait time for customers, earning it a bad name. But don’t be too quick to judge, IVR changed slowly & stealthily as it grew sick of its boring avatar.
