86% of consumers are put on hold every time they contact a business. In fact, the average person spends almost 43 days of their entire life on hold. Not surprisingly, customers say their biggest frustration when phoning a contact center – by a whopping 43% – is being put on hold.
Long hold times are also an impediment for businesses, as it costs them $130 Billion in productivity losses every year.
More and more, contact centers are realizing the detrimental effect hold-time is having on their customer satisfaction scores, abandonment rates, and the overall customer experience. Luckily, there are easy ways to fix this problem.
According to a 2015 report from Software Advice, “Consumers prefer the option of getting a call-back versus waiting even 6 minutes on the phone and a high percentage ‘always prefer a call-back’ regardless of wait times.”
