Pat McDowell
Hi, my name is Pat McDowell, I’m the MiCC Customer Advocate. Eliminating mundane tasks for agents, one of the first things that I would do would be leveraging the IVR system. To automate some of these repetitive and informational calls, build a self-help portal, so that your customers can help themselves sparing your agents to deal with a more complex and demanding issues.
Joining information through your IVR from the customer before you connect them to the agent, can help speed up the interaction because you will present that customer collected information to the agent in a screen pop, when they answer the call. You don't have to have the agent ask the customer for that information. Consider implementing skills-based routing. You can then send the more complex interactions to your tenured agents and keep the more mundane tasks to the newer agents..
