Scheduled Call-Backs Are a Call Center Superpower

Fonolo

SEPTEMBER 26, 2017

Many call center platforms today offer some form of call-back functionality. That means if your hold times are long, your callers have the option to get a call at a later time instead of waiting for an agent. These built-in call-back features work by holding the caller’s place in line (“virtual queuing”) so the total wait time is the same. You can think of this as “ASAP” call-backs. In fact, we at Fonolo have come to think of it as a call center “superpower”.
