Has your phone been ringing off the hook lately? It’s not a coincidence! There’s been a huge resurgence in serving customers over the phone. A CGS Inc survey found the top channel for service in a crisis was over the phone. 51% of respondents prefer to speak with someone, while text, email, video conferencing, chat and social media only rated between 17% and 5%.
And that steady stream of contact is likely to increase as we get closer to the holidays. Sounding calm, organised, up-to-date and professional has never been more important. Here are the most important audio products to consider when communicating with your customers:
- Welcome
Your recorded welcome announcement is the first point of contact. Make sure it reflects your brand, communicates relevant, timely information, and puts your caller at ease.
2. On Hold
When you put callers on hold, do they hear about proactive changes and safety protocols you’ve introduced? Do you alert them to what’s happening over the upcoming Christmas break? The time your callers spend on hold is a golden opportunity to keep them informed.
3. After Hours
If a caller calls after hours or when you’re closed for the holidays, what do they hear? A professionally recorded announcement could invite them to leave a message or direct them to your website, and ensures they know exactly what’s happening even if you aren’t there to pick up the phone.
