Menu Prompts

Phone Messages

Menu Prompts or Interactive Voice Responses (IVRs)give callers direct connection to a department or staff member.

Menu Prompts are sometimes referred to as Interactive Voice Responses (IVRs).

They save everybody time and reduce labour costs because they permit the caller to choose a designated destination for a call by selecting from a menu of options.

The caller will hear the options after their call is answered. For example the prompt might say; "For new Sales enquiries, Press One; For the Service Department Press Two; For Accounts Payable, Press Three; to speak with Reception Press Four. To hear these options again Press Zero"

The Menu Prompts mean incoming callers spend less time getting to the person or department they are calling.

The self-service nature of this feature also reduces staff involvement in directing an external call.

As an outside caller there is an added layer of privacy.

Calls get directly connected to the person or department they require without involving a receptionist or other staff member to make the connection.

Customers who are regular callers and know the IVR system can save even more time by "dialing ahead". They get to select the number they need without having to listen to the entire menu.

When dealing with large organisations where various tiers may have to be navigated, a number of individual files can be supplied to accommodate any complexity.

In multi-tiered installations the caller will hear the relevant prompts as they progress through the various levels and departments.

The prompt will advise the action required to arrive at the desired destination.
