Fonolo, a call center solutions provider, announced that Suddenlink, the seventh largest cable operator in the U.S., has selected its call-back solution to improve the contact center experience for its customers.
Suddenlink, which serves 1.4 million customers, prides itself on delivering exceptional customer service. By adding Fonolo's In-Call Rescue solution to its call center, Suddenlink's customers can now choose to "press 1 to receive a call-back" instead of waiting on hold, without losing their place in line. When their turn arrives, the customer's phone will ring and a live agent will be on the line.
"Implementing Fonolo's call-back solution has been a huge success,” said Gibbs Jones, senior vice president, customer experience, Suddenlink, in a statement. “To date we have saved our customers over 400,000 minutes in hold time and reduced our abandonment rate by 25 percent. It's clear that offering a call-back option is essential to providing excellent customer service."
According to Forrester Research, 75 percent of callers think the option of a call-back is ‘highly appealing.’ Fonolo's cloud-based solution is an easy and cost-effective way for contact centers to improve their performance and deliver a better call center experience.
"At Fonolo, our mission is to make it easy for companies to improve customer engagement and to increase efficiency in the call center," said Shai Berger, CEO, Fonolo, in a statement. "Being able to help a forward-thinking organization like Suddenlink, which prides itself on customer service, is a real validation of the transformative power of call-backs."
