The virtual fax is a module that allows you to send and receive faxes from a device with an Internet connection. In this case, e-mail is usually used as a means of sending and receiving. In other words, this mechanism allows communication between a real fax and a computer or a cell phone.

The e-mail form contains the receiver’s e-mail address and the telephone number of the fax machine. The documents to be sent are then attached to the fax. Similarly, a person can send this type of communication through this type of machine and be received in the mail.

The possibility of sending faxes is another alternative to sending a printed or digital document. With the digital fax, totally different technologies are integrated for the benefit of the company. The best thing is that you can scan papers and send or receive them in real time. Having this possibility can make a difference in the midst of some complicated situations.

Signaling: A module to gain customer confidence

/in /by

Signaling is a primary resource in the most up-to-date call center departments. These are certainly the best-kept secrets of digital communication services. It looks like a simple module, but when well used, it opens the door to an endless number of customers.

The signaling modules are used to make outgoing calls. Today it is known that their use significantly improves the rate of effective contacts achieved. The sales, collection and telephone advertising departments are the most benefited.

What is the signaling module in call centers?

Sometimes, outgoing call operators change the number by which they communicate with customers. This happens for example when the same agent calls more than once through different phone numbers. Actually, the worker does not need to change his mobile to do this.

Signaling is a module that allows the operator to make calls by displaying different numbers on the receiving mobile. This is an option that is incorporated into the virtual pbx, so there is no need to change telephone devices.

Neotel offers two types of signaling in its call center software: selective and automatic. The first one allows you to change a phone number manually. The second one is a system programming that changes the numbers and their prefixes depending on the customer to whom the call is made.

What is the purpose of changing phone numbers?

Signaling allows the operator to strategically use your phone number. The customer who manages to recognize the phone from which they are calling is more likely to not answer the call. It is very common for the user to assume business calls with something “formal”, “boring” or “unnecessary”.

For this reason, the collection or credit card approval departments use this module very frequently. The ability to change the number is a formula to be able to inform the customer.

Using this function also allows the operator to gain the user’s trust. This is done by changing prefixes on phone numbers. The idea is to add a prefix number that is from the customer’s location with the intention of making the customer more confident in the call.

Automation has reached the customer service departments to change the face of companies. Effective communication is no longer an end, but a means. Without a doubt, a change of focus in the service.

Those who recognize the importance of social network metrics will understand the importance of call center statistics. They are but a reflection of the focus of a customer service department. Of course, a company’s good reputation and sales will largely depend on this.

Incoming call statistics: What can we know?

Generally, inbound call statistics are modules offered with call center software. They allow us to know in real time how many calls are on hold, which ones have been attended to and also quantifies the failures. This, although quite positive, is just the beginning.

A call statistics module also records the time in call and waiting of each operator. The data of each contact is recorded and the application generates graphs and averages. This information is valuable from various points of view.

On the one hand, the operator has in this data that will allow him to improve his management. On the other hand, the coordinator and other authorities can plan strategies to improve the service. By having all these patterns, it is possible to know, for example, which are the hours with more calls. In those cases, it is possible to avoid breaks and insist on a focused or faster management.

Incoming call statistics are able to

Having data on the flow of calls allows you to organize your work. If customer service can be oriented based on this data, management is more intelligent. Newer call centers can learn a lot and generate their response models and guidelines.

The most advanced inbound call statistics modules also offer management solutions. For example, Neotel offers with its software the CDR queues module. This add-on allows customers to be listed based on incoming calls. In the meantime, they are informed of their position and have an idea of when they will be answered.

This is equivalent to being able to communicate with the customer in an automated way from the beginning of the contact. If we add the statistics to this, what is left is a system dedicated to improving efficiency. Certainly, better service means more business opportunities and satisfied users.
