LimePhone can be used as a business switchboard or IVR (interactive voice response) system to route calls to the appropriate department or employee. This can be a very effective way to manage incoming calls and improve customer service.
To use a Limephone as a business switchboard, you would first need to create a call routing plan. This plan would specify which calls should be routed to which department or employee. Once you have created your call routing plan, you can then assign your virtual number to that plan.
When a customer calls your virtual number, they will hear a greeting and then be prompted to choose an option. The customer can then press the corresponding key to be routed to the appropriate department or employee.
For example, your call routing plan might look like this:
- Press 1 for customer service.
- Press 2 for sales.
- Press 3 for technical support.
If a customer presses 1, they will be routed to the customer service team. If they press 2, they will be routed to the sales team. And if they press 3, they will be routed to the technical support team.
Here are some of the benefits of using a virtual number as a business switchboard or IVR system:
- Improved customer service: A virtual number can help you to improve customer service by routing calls to the appropriate department or employee quickly and efficiently. This can reduce customer wait times and improve customer satisfaction.
- Increased productivity: A virtual number can also help to increase the productivity of your employees by freeing them up from having to answer and transfer calls. This can allow them to focus on their core responsibilities.
- Reduced costs: A virtual number can also help you to reduce costs by eliminating the need for a traditional PBX system. Virtual number providers typically charge a monthly fee that is much lower than the cost of maintaining a PBX system.
