Genesys Personalized Routing with Callback (CE43) for Genesys Cloud

Route voice interactions to the best skilled resource with personalization and callback option

What's the challenge?

When customers call you, they want to speak with someone familiar with your company, someone who can quickly address their needs. If they encounter long wait times or connect to agents who lack the proper information, then calls can transfer more often, hold times increase, and the customer experiences unnecessary repetition. Any of these factors can result in a poor customer experience.

What's the solution?

Proactively address the needs of your customers when they call into your contact center, which helps drive a greater customer experience. Recognize repeat customers and route calls either to the last agent they spoke with, or to the best-skilled agents that can more effectively help address their needs. If no agents are available to address their needs appropriately, let them know their expected wait time, and offer a callback option.

Summary

Creating a great experience for the customers and prospects that call into your contact center is paramount to creating long-lasting business relationships. The experience starts at the IVR, presenting callers with simple options to identify or self-serve to reduce their time on the phone. Caller data retrieved from the IVR allows the system to make the best routing decision. Use the ACD routing tools to look up the caller’s phone number or account number and personalize the messaging customers hear. Preferred agent routing directs callers to a single, or set, of scored agents selected ahead of other available agents. Pairing the best agent, or the agent who last spoke to the customer, with the customer reduces handle times and drive a positive customer experience.

In case, there are not enough agents to respond to callers in a timely manner, Genesys Cloud CX automatically expands the pool of available agents to answer the call more quickly and present relevant content about the caller to an agent. Genesys Cloud CX can offer a callback option for customers to save their place in line until an agent becomes available and can call them back. Please also see the Callbacks overview.
