How Can Call Queues Help My Office?
If your employees find themselves experiencing an overwhelming rate of calls, voicemails, or parked calls, call queues can help you reduce the number of missed calls by answering them in an orderly manner.
Call queues also have features to ensure a better experience for your agents.
After Call Work Time allows 5 seconds after hanging up a call to regroup before the next one comes into their phone.
By Rejecting a Call, agents ensure their phone will not receive another call for the queue for 60 seconds. The call will reroute to another agent.
Agents can select Do Not Disturb to take a break and stop receiving calls. This is great for lunch breaks and in-office meetings.
