[Editor’s note: Advance Voice is now Zendesk Talk]
Sometimes the best way to hear your customers is to have a real conversation with them. When customers get help over the phone, complex problems get resolved faster, and agents can deliver personalized support. Perhaps that’s why customers’ preference for phone support holds steady, even as their usage of emerging channels like live chat and self-service continues to climb.
At Zendesk, we aim to bring companies and their customers closer together. We see phone support as one of the simplest ways for customers and businesses to…you know…talk. We built Zendesk Voice to ensure that businesses can always connect to customers and deliver great experiences.
Our cloud-based solution, Zendesk Voice, allows companies to get started talking with their customers in minutes, without purchasing any extra equipment. It is built right into Zendesk, which means companies can make or take calls from the same interface they use to manage all other support channels. With Voice added on, Zendesk is your all-in-one, multi-channel solution.
And now we are making Zendesk Voice even better.
Introducing Advanced Voice
Advanced Voice includes all the features of Voice, including automatic ticket creation, caller history and call recording, plus a number of powerful features that deliver a more efficient and personal phone support experience. These features include warm transfer, an IVR system (interactive voice response, or phone trees), real-time dashboards, call data in Insights, multiple schedules, call failover, and more.
- Warm Transfer: Agents can introduce callers to new agents before transferring for seamless handoffs, so customers don’t have to repeat themselves over and over
- Interactive Voice Response (IVR): With multi-level IVR (aka phone trees), route customers to the right agent or department, resulting in higher first call resolution and fewer transfers
- Real-time dashboards: Make in-the-moment adjustments to smooth out volume spikes and prevent long wait times with our revamped monitoring dashboards
- Call data in Insights: Filter and drill into historical call data to measure operational efficiency and identify areas for improvement with custom reports in Insights
- Expanded functionality to bolster efficiency & reliability: including failover, increased service monitoring, and enhanced processing resources
- Killer hold music: just kidding. But if you are looking for some, check this out.
In a world where customer relationships can make or break your business, it’s important that your customer support experiences are effortless for both customers and agents. Unless you have a common platform, it can be a challenge to provide consistently great support across all your communication channels while also keeping costs low, and scaling the business. Advanced Voice is a simple solution, providing powerful, affordable call center software embedded in Zendesk.
