The Right Appointment IVR Booking Solutions Ensure Customer Satisfaction, Loyalty and Revenues

IVR or interactive voice response systems are the norm rather than an exception in business and professional circles. It can be a boon or a curse depending on the type of IVR one has installed and it is well known that some IVR systems can be so frustrating that customers shift loyalties. After all, which customer would wish to engage in innumerable key presses that lead to nowhere? For enterprises and especially professionals who use IVRs to book appointments it is essential that the right solution be put into place after a careful assessment of customer expectations rather than cost saving and business goals.

Most businesses and professionals go in for Appointment IVR solutions only to find that customers find their system frustrating to use. This could possibly be because they buy a standard IVR from a vendor offering a standard set of features. One size definitely does not fit all and the IVR, instead of helping the business, could actually cause a loss of customers.

This is where the vendor and his IVR development for appointment scheduling are of great importance. The ideal vendor would study the business model of his client, assess customer behaviors, analyze all likely possibilities and then include them in the IVR development to come up with a solution that delights callers instead of driving them away. A rigid IVR with limited option set that cannot be altered is of little use because one cannot anticipate issues that crop up after the system is operational and, for this reason, a dynamic IVR is the best solution, especially for large or medium enterprises.

The dynamic IVR for appointment system allows users to modify as well as create various menus that they can alter based on customer feedbacks. All one needs to do is access the control panel and develop new menus or alter existing ones and add such features as direct inward dialing and routing to a live agent. By fine tuning the IVR the business enterprise or professional service provider gives callers a chance to talk directly with a human agent if he so requires or follow a menu to achieve his goal with the fewest number of key presses and wait times. This obviously results in customer satisfaction and loyalty leading to growth. Choosing the right vendor for IVR development is the starting point to putting in place a system that gives satisfaction to callers and to the business.
