IVR (call routing): Sales calls to advisors up by a third
“The project results show an all-time high for scores for hold music, ease of operation of our IVR, and ease of navigation since we started measuring NPS — a great result!” Ben Watford, Continuous Improvement Manager, Virgin Holidays.
Challenge
When the largest transatlantic tour operator, and market leader for travel to the USA and the Caribbean, spotted a drop in their NPS they decided to look at refreshing the IVR automated service customers heard when they called in.
We were tasked with reviewing a new design created by the Virgin Holidays team — ensuring that it was easy for customers to navigate and that the language reflected the distinctive Virgin tone of voice. Music was also a key factor — we needed to find something that callers actually wanted to hear.
Solution: IVR & Queue design
- Streamlined IVR call-flow
- IVR dialogue (messages) to reflect brand values and tone
- Cast and coached the right voice talent and produced all the messages
- Sourced and selected the perfect hold music
Results
- Caller hang-ups to the sales team, have dropped to just 2%
- Sales opportunities have increased by almost a third
- NPS and all IVR customer metrics are the best they’ve ever been
- Positive customer feedback on the new hold music
