When customers are engaging with an agent, that means there\u2019s progress and they\u2019re closer to a resolution. When waiting? Well, they\u2019re not going anywhere fast.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s for this reason that one of the best optimizations you can make is to ensure your customers aren\u2019t kept on hold for too long and that any time spent waiting is still valuable. That\u2019s where automation tools come into play.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use Chatbots and Conversational AI to Handle the Initial Support Stage<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most important and essential tips we can offer is to use chatbots and conversational AI powered by robust large language models like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kdandoc.com\/blog\/business\/what-is-gpt-4o\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GPT-4o<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. These automation tools allow you to make use of the initial call and waiting phase in several key ways.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Firstly, they can gain additional information from the customer, such as verifying their identity, understanding their reason for calling and gathering any important data relating to their purchase. This saves your agent time and reduces errors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secondly, they can route the customer directly to the correct department once the information has been successfully gathered and can provide accurate wait times and queue information to reduce frustration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, they can often solve simple cases without any need for a customer agent themselves. Winner!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use Automation Software That Can Integrate With Your Existing Infrastructure<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Renewing and optimizing infrastructure is a critical part of any ongoing business activity. The changing needs of your company will necessitate new technology and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.openlegacy.com\/blog\/mainframe-application-modernization\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mainframe modernization<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Competitor activity will further drive this change.
