IVR provides you with automated reception and call forwarding ...
Although some callers say they dislike automated telephone answering / reception systems, a well setup, computerised IVR system will actually reduce the time taken to be connected to an appropriate person for the caller's needs.
Businesses are utilising IVR phone answering solutions to sound more professional, promote their products and services and to reduce the cost of simple, repetitive call transfer tasks.
We can configure your 1300 number or 1800 number to route (redirect) to our IVR system where callers can be forwarded to your appropriate staff member/s or destination number/s.
Callers to your 1300 or 1800 number hear your customised, recorded business greeting.
Example: "Thank you for calling 'my business name'."
Callers are then offered various choices that you've configured.
Examples:
"So you can speak to the best person to help you, please select from the following ... press 1 for sales, press 2 for service, press 3 for accounts" ... etc.
"To speak to John Brown, please press 1. To speak to accounts department, please press 2, to speak to Sally Smith, please press 3.
"To listen to these options again, please press 9" ... etc.
With the press of a number on their telephone keypad, callers can then be forwarded to a chosen landline phone, mobile phone, live answering service, voice2email service.
If you have special IVR requirements, please call us NOW on 1300 ALLTEL (1300 255 835) and we'll arrange a quote for you.
