Why SMS is a leading channel for customer outreachaddremove

SMS continues to be one of the most effective methods that companies use to communicate with their customers. According to Forbes, both open rates and engagement rates for SMS far exceed those of email:

“The business consulting firm Gartner recently reported that SMS open rates are as high as 98%, while response rates were reported at 45%. Email trails far behind with a 20% open rate and a much lower 6% response rate.”

With these numbers in mind, many companies are incorporating SMS messaging into their marketing strategies, and finding high user engagement as a result. To get started, here are Five Tips For Leveraging SMS Marketing In 2022.

Provide real-time support for your team with these training tools!addremove

TeleGo is excited to offer your business the communication tools it needs to help strengthen and train your customer service or sales team. With these features, managers can jump in on real time calls to monitor their agents’ performance and provide help in real time.

Call Barge-In:
Call Barge-In allows a third party to barge into an active call. Typically, this third person is either a secretary contacting the boss, or possibly a co-worker in the next cube who needs help on a call.

Teach Mode:
Teach Mode allows the agent to hear what the initiator of the Teach Mode is saying, but not the other party of the call.

Listen-In Mode: In Listen-In mode, a third party can listen in without being detected. The two parties speaking to each other are not aware of the listen-in.

To learn more about these training resources, please contact us!

Do You Know About Hot Desking?addremove

Hot desking allows multiple users to use the same phone, at different times. Once the user activates the hot desking feature, all calls made to the user’s extension (or as part of a hunt group or agent group) will be routed to the new extension or destination.

It’s the perfect temporary solution for remote employees who occasionally work from the office!

HOW TO LOG INTO A HOT DESK:

On the phone that you will be hot desking:
• Dial *70 and press the confirm button on the telephone keypad
• Enter your extension number when prompted.
• Enter your voicemail PIN code for the extension number when prompted.

* Users must set their voicemail PIN before using this feature.

HOW TO LOG OUT OF A HOT DESK:

• Dial *70 and your extension number from either the location that is currently registered as a hot desk, or from a phone that has been configured to their extension
• The system will acknowledge that hot desking is no longer in service.
