• Limit number of key performance indicators
• Focus on actionable recommendations

The Downside
• Keeping up with the crowd is challenging (biggest influences are likely to be earliest adopters)
• Responding to all the channels is hard and time consuming
• It’s not going to get any easier
25
The Upside
• Most complaints focus on several issues: waiting on hold, frustrating phone menus, being transferred between agents, having to repeat information, rude agents, etc.
• These issues are fixable!

How Fonolo Can Help
29
Visual Navigation
Fonolo takes the company's existing phone-based process...
…and replaces it with an intelligent visual interface…
…presented on their web site or
mobile application.
30
Virtual Queuing
• Everybody hates waiting on hold.• It’s a “lose-lose” approach to queuing.
31
What Is Virtual Queuing?
• Queuing is necessary… waiting on hold is not
• An obvious but elusive idea:“Call me when an agent is available.”or“Take a number.”
32
VQ – Fonolo’s Approach
Works independently of the call center
Cloud-based
Visual interface
33
Pre-Call Questions
“Can I have your customer ID?”
“Do you have a reference number?”
“Please read out the tracking code…”
34
The Current Approach
Callers are forced to repeat informationThe “data pass-through” problem(“I already gave that info to your system!”)
Agent’s time is wasted waiting for a caller to find informationUse the queuing time constructively
Agent’s time is wasted trying to communicate data“Was that 15 as in one-five or five-oh?”
35
Fonolo’s Approach
36

1) Fix common flaws people complain about (phone menus, waiting on hold, agent attitudes.)
2) Make it easy for people to provide feedback (so they aren’t driven to “tweet rage”)
3) Adopt new technologies that will impress customers (leading to positive posts).
