According to StellaService, 71% of shoppers become extremely frustrated while waiting on the phone and 67% will hang up without resolving their issues.
Clearly, this is the outcome of a contact center having too many calls and not enough agents. The end result is a poor customer service experience, something that’s all too common these days.
Spikes in call center volume can be the result of both predictable and unpredictable causes. From a seasonal rise in calls to an unexpected spike brought on by circumstances beyond your control, it’s key to have a solution in place to handle large increases in call volume.
