ICMI and Enterprise Integration Group, Inc. (EIG) have joined forces to bring you practical guidance on designing the best customer-focused Interactive Voice Response (IVR) for your business. Learn scientifically-proven techniques that increase throughput and IVR containment while reducing errors.

  • Use natural language that helps (not hinders) customer satisfaction
  • Evaluate your IVR's quality

  • Implement your design successfully with thorough planning and testing
  • Make the IVR business case

Full payment is required prior to attendance. In rare instances, a course will be rescheduled or postponed. ICMI will provide at least 10 days notice. You may receive a full refund, or take a credit toward another ICMI course. ICMI cannot be held responsible for penalties resulting from travel arrangements. Participants cancelling their registration with less than 10 days notice will be subject to a $150.00 USD course processing fee. No shows will pay full course rates.

An announcement will also be made available by clicking on the course details available on ICMI’s course schedule http://www.icmi.com/Training/calendar.aspx. Generally the decision will be made the day prior to the start of the course. Under certain circumstances we may have to withhold the decision to cancel a course until the last minute, due to the instructor’s ability to make it to the training facility. For courses starting on a Monday, please make sure to check your email and the ICMI website on Sunday evening. In the event that we do have to cancel a training course at the last minute, your ICMI account manager will contact you via phone call to either reschedule you in to an alternate course or provide you with a full refund of the course price.
