- Let's look at how Michele, a BestBrands customer, receives convenient and timely service through IVR to Digital engagement. Michele is eager to upgrade her iPhone but has some questions, so she calls BestBrands. Welcome to Best Brands. How can I help you today? I have a question about the iPhone 8. We are experiencing high call volumes. Rather than wait for a representative, you can chat with an agent right away by text message. Would you like to chat instead? Uhh, sure.
- Long hold times can drive up frustration and caller abandonment which can lead to lost sales. Nuance IVR to Digital can decrease wait times by offering callers immediate help through live chat or virtual assistance. Callers that choose to leave the IVR are transferred with context so they don't get lost or need to repeat themselves, resolving their issues faster for increased customer satisfaction. BestBrands controls which callers are offered the move to a digital channel experience…in this case, Michele chooses to continue the conversation through text messaging and the call is moved to a live chat agent for sales assistance. Hi. Welcome to BestBrands! This is Linda. I see you have a question about one of our products. Do you carry the iPhone 8 in gold?
- Michele is connected to Linda, a BestBrands' live chat agent who's aware that she's interested in one of their products. Linda is able to help her immediately and sends her a link to a comparison for review. By following the link, she is taken to the best brands website. While Michele is comparing the two phones, the chat agent lets Michele know that she is still there to help, through BestBrands' web chat. We do carry the iPhone 8 in gold. Would you like to order it? Can I see a comparison of the iPhone 8 and the Samsung Galaxy S8. Of course. Here is a side‑by‑side comparison.
- After a quick review, Michele is ready to make her purchase and the agent confirms that it's available at her local store. Is the Gold iPhone 8 in stock at the store in Paramus, New Jersey? Yes it is. Would you like me to place one on hold for you? Sure.

We wait in lines every day. At the bank. At a shop. When it comes to customer service, however, waiting on hold on the phone isn’t great. Customers don’t want to wait to get their issue resolved. Fortunately, there is a better way that allows callers to be moved out of the IVR in favor of a digital experience, saving time and boosting customer satisfaction.
