CHALLENGE

High call volume is causing long hold times.

Tons of customers are calling and forced to wait on hold. A big percentage of them abandon and call in again, running up tolls and skewing reporting and SLAs. NPS and CSAT are down, as customers get more frustrated, and handle times pick up with increased customer venting.

SOLUTION

Offer premier callback to give customers freedom.

Reduce hold time by giving callers an option to skip it all together. Mindful Callback is presented before holding, allowing customers to get a call back as soon as possible or at a set time that works for both customer and brand.

Unlike other callback solutions, we’ve been perfecting Mindful Callback and our industry-defining queue technology for over 25 years for a premium experience every time. Set up call targets for specific departments, lines of business, agent skills, and get expert guidance to customize pacing and queue depth that overdelivers on experience and capitalizes on agent efficiency.

And queue volume can be more easily managed with Mindful’s real-time dashboards to track callback requests. It’s an option that both customers and agents love. Plus, we can get it up and running in days.
