CallFire's new agent interface and feature set offers an enterprise level look and functionality for businesses and organizations of any size.
Here is a detailed view of the new agent interface. The features have been outlined in a variety of colors, and will be explained individually below.
Tabs
Tabs are location in which URLs stored in the excel spreadsheet can be displayed for agents to see. If the administrator included columns with a company URL, or a CRM url for each entry, these will be displayed in tabs at the top of the agent interface. Agents can view the tabs while speaking on the phone, and will increase their knowledge of the party they are speaking to.
Script
Scripts can be provided for agents to assist them with their phone calls. The campaign administrator has the ability to compose scripts for agents to read during each call. This allows agents to be consistent with their customer contact, and never forget important details.
Disposition
The disposition field allows agents to easily make notes and ask questions. The new agent interface includes a free text field for general disposition notes as the previous version, but it now offers functionality in adding additional questions and compiling results, making gathering statistics easy for administrators. These can be multiple choice questions with customizable options or short free text questions with an open response.
Connected Box
The connected box enables personal information to be displayed for agents to see while they are on the phone. The box contains all the information that is in the excel spreadsheet used to upload numbers. Any information the administrator wants agents to see will be its own column in the file. A few likely uses for this field are name, company, and phone number. Any type of information the administrator finds useful for agents to see can be included accordingly.
Call Transfer
Call transfer facilitates the transfer of a call if an agent needs to pass on a customer to another party. If an agent wishes to transfer a phone call at any point, they can enter a phone number and transfer the call to anyone at any time during the call.
SmartDrop
The SmartDrop feature lets agents leave a pre-recorded message when an answering machine picks up. This allows users to save time that they would have spent leaving individual messages. For users that choose not to use answering machine detection, the moment they hear an answering machine, they can click SmartDrop and move on to the next call. This will leave a pre-recorded answering machine message on that machine.
Next Call
The next call button is used when a user is ready to move onto a new call. There was a next call button on the old interface, and it still has essentially the same purpose. Once a call with an individual is complete, hit next call to reach the next person. It is also essential to press the next call button after using the SmartDrop feature.
Report an Issue
Agents should use the report an issue button if a user is experiencing an issue while using the Cloud Call Center. Reporting an issue right when there is a problem is extremely important for troubleshooting.
Call Recording
Call Recording is now available for all Standard and Pro Campaigns. While it's not part of the agent interface, a new feature launched with the updated Cloud Call Center is the option for Call Recording. If either the Standard or Pro options are picked, administrators have the option to record all calls, giving them a chance to check up on agent performance or verify the content of specific conversations.
