What’s Automatic Call Distribution, or ACD? (+ How It Works)
Seems like the job of explaining Automatic Call Distribution was a little too fast-paced today.
ACD knows all about speed. Automatic Call Distribution speeds up a call queue by automatically routing callers to the correct department or agent.
It also reduces the time a customer has to wait on hold because ACD makes sure they’re waiting in the right line (if you want to talk to Sales, there’s no need to wait in line behind all the people who want password resets).
Way to blow through that call queue, ACD.
You can also just set up Automatic Call Distribution so that it quickly sends calls to available agents, go with a round-robin, use talk-time-based routing, or even the fixed order approach.
And that’s not all — you can also have ACD do the “hold your place in line” trick.
Customers love this feature. They can do a whole load of wash without listening to terrible music, head cranked to one side, afraid to drop the phone, but more afraid to put the phone down and miss their chance to talk to a human.
Cutting call hold times through ACD automation is a win/win for businesses and customers. Speed is crucial to call center success and customer satisfaction.
Because no one wants to wait on hold.
