A step-by-step process for call center professionals responsible for IVR design that will increase customer usage and satisfaction, turning your IVR from a liability to an asset

All people—users and customers—love to hate IVR. A poorly designed IVR can cost millions in terms of technology dollars, unhappy customers and lost business. But a well designed IVR can save up to $10 per call, plus make priceless improvements in customer satisfaction.

Through the virtual classroom course, Leading Practices in IVR Design, you’ll learn the best practices of IVR design that will optimize your system for maximum results.

You’ll start with a complete overview of the industry so you can see how IVR is being used successfully to fulfill customer satisfaction strategies across multiple industries. An in-depth look at key IVR trends provides you with an understanding of what’s new and what’s working in IVR, including an outlook on speech recognition.

One of the major problems with IVR is in the implementation, not the technology. In this course, you’ll learn the critical importance of setting a clear multi-channel strategy for IVR. It’s not all about reducing or offloading calls! You’ll learn the essential building blocks needed to tap the full potential of your IVR.

Working step by step, you’ll grasp the key principles of a successful IVR design process, from development to implementation. You’ll learn which elements are critical to the design process and come away with a do and don’t list to help you avoid missteps. You’ll also take an in-depth look at how to decide whether to use Touch-Tone or speech and how to successfully transition from one to the other.
