How Can I Customise the IVR Menu and Improve Customer Experience?


🎛️ How Can I Customise the IVR Menu and Improve Customer Experience?

Your IVR (Interactive Voice Response) menu is the first impression a caller gets about your business. Customising it thoughtfully helps reduce drop-offs, route queries faster, and offer a more pleasant experience to your customers.

🛠️ Ways to Customise Your IVR Menu

  1. Define Clear Menu Options: Keep options short and specific. Avoid more than 4-5 primary choices.
  2. Use Multiple Levels (if needed): For example, “Press 1 for Sales → Press 1 for New Orders, 2 for Bulk Orders”.
  3. Upload Custom Greetings: Use your brand voice or professional recordings to sound polished and reliable.
  4. Add Language Selection: Serve regional customers by offering Hindi, English, or local dialect options.
  5. Include Operating Hours Message: Let users know when your team is unavailable and what to do next.
  6. Route by Time/Agent Availability: Set up dynamic routing based on business hours or agent login status.

✨ Tips to Improve Customer Experience

  • Keep It Short: Avoid long welcome messages. Direct users quickly to action.
  • Offer a "Talk to Human" Option: Always include an option to connect with a live agent.
  • Provide Self-Service Info: Share key updates like order status, tracking, or FAQs via voice.
  • Use Smart Call Routing: Prioritise VIP clients or route calls based on CRM tags.
  • Record Calls: Use call recordings to review agent handling and improve future flows.
