Maximizing agent productivity to improve campaign results
In many situations, you want your agents on the phone talking with customers, such as telesales, customer win-back, market research, and collections. Genesys Outbound provides an innovative and tightly integrated outbound dialing solution that maximizes agent utilization and reduces call abandonments, enabling you to efficiently connect live contacts with contact center agents to improve campaign results.
The Genesys outbound dialer offers multiple dialing modes to accommodate a variety of calling strategies and situations, including:
- Predictive dialing: Paces calls automatically to match anticipated agent availability
- Progressive dialing: Dials phone numbers only when an agent is available
- Preview dialing: Presents customer information to an agent before they initiate the call
- Manual dialing: Allows contact center agents to dial calls manually
Genesys deploys patented predictive pacing algorithms, proven to outperform other vendor solutions. Through these algorithms, Genesys Outbound accurately predicts agent availability, optimally paces outbound volume, and filters out unproductive calls (voice mails, busy signals, and disconnected numbers). For contact centers still relying on manual dialing, this delivers huge productivity gains by freeing agents from dialing calls manually and connecting them with consumers automatically, using agent time more effectively and increasing revenue.
To further improve contact center efficiency, Genesys Outbound supports blended agents. By blending inbound and outbound calls either to a specific agent group or to the entire population of agents, you can increase agent utilization, reduce overall call wait times, and smooth overall call volume. Your contact center agents can also use text messaging and email to send on-demand messages to consumers during a call or as a way to start a conversation.
Simplify compliance with dynamic self-service rules builder
Business users can exercise granular control to customize outbound campaigns to meet evolving regulatory requirements and business policies, with the focus on protecting the customer experience. User-friendly and roles-based self-service tools let you quickly create, deploy, modify, and audit outbound campaigns that comply with requirements and policies regarding when, how frequently, and which channels to use to contact consumers.
In addition to the rules builder, the compliance tools include automated suppression lists, the ability to identify mobile numbers in your contact list, and the ability to define safe contact windows, landline or mobile treatment strategies, audit reports, and more. For example, it’s easy to define the maximum number of contact attempts across channels for a specified timeframe, set “do not contact” dates, or exclude consumers in a certain geographic location when a natural disaster hits.
Customer opt-in program to capture and maintain customer preferences
Capturing customer opt-in has become a critical extension of outbound campaigns. For starters, a growing number of regulations in many countries require organizations to obtain consumer consent before sending certain types of communications over specific channels. Honoring opt-in requests also helps improve the customer experience and campaign results by ensuring that messages you send are in line with customer channel preferences.
Genesys offers a customer opt-in program that not only helps you maximize the size of your opt-in database, but also makes the ongoing management significantly less complex than attempting to maintain it in-house. It provides automated opt-out processes, removes contacts from your opt-in database when appropriate, and seamlessly integrates with your outbound campaigns.
