Assisting your business with incoming calls.
One of the many innovative features of 2ndNumber are our IVR menus, which help businesses handle high incoming call volumes.
IVR menus are also called Interactive Voice Response menus and it takes just a few minutes to create one with the 2ndNumber's intuitive IVR Builder. Once in place your IVR menu will mean that customers calling your 2ndNumber hear a professional and friendly sounding voice, which will direct them to the relevant department or place to information.
This means you can assist existing and potential customers without having to pay for a large human customer service team. If you do want your customers to speak to a real human customer service agent, IVR menus can help with pre-qualifying the nature of the call, providing pre-recorded information, which saves time and money.
As with 2ndNumber's WhatsApp enabled chatbot, our IVR menus are a useful additional tool which can enhance the sales, customer service and marketing of your business.
An IVR menu can be set up quickly to manage and filter the typical inquiries your business gets and to redirect customers to voicemail, give pre-recorded answers to Frequently Asked Questions or ultimately redirect callers human customer service representatives for more complex queries.
2ndNumber's IVR solution can be set up with options such as press one for sales, press two for accounts, press three for customer support and so on.
The simple instructions on our YouTube channel help you to set up your IVR menu system in a matter of minutes.
