“Please listen carefully as our menu options have recently changed…” “Push 1 for English, para Español, marque el dos”… How to Easily Make Your IVR VisualIt’s no secret. Your customers probably don’t like your IVR. Navigating an IVR the old fashioned way is tedious and frustrating. The result? A negative customer experience with the aim of “zeroing-out” and finding a live person. Fortunately, new technology offers you the opportunity to redefine the IVR experience for users of mobile devices, all the while preserving and utilizing your existing IVR investment. Visual IVR allows your customers to conveniently touch their way through your IVR using easy to use visual cues. to learn more, visit our website - http://www.jacada.com/?pk_campaign=Content_Gen&pk_kwd=slideshare

5.
You‟re forced to listen to long introductory
prompts.
The menu options are so long you can‟t
remember which one you should have chosen
The menu options are confusing…should I choose
3…no wait..2…yes 2.
No clear navigation path. How do I go back? Let
me try *. No…that took me back to the
beginning.
Why should I enter anything in here when the first
thing you‟re going to do when I connect is ask me
the information again?

5. But isn‟t the IVR dying?
Top IVR Trends and Predictions
1. Social Media will not replace the IVR
2. The demand for multi touchpoint will
increase…the two “C”s
3. The next generation of IVR‟s will need to
emphasize self service
4. Voice XML will become the standard. New
IVR‟s already support it, legacy ones will
support it.
5. People will still claim to “hate the IVR”

6. Mobile doesn‟t help the problem
•Customers are quickly frustrated with IVR systems
•IVR does not lend itself well to the “mobile mindset”
•Easier to just “zero-out” then to navigate the tree

» Channel more of these calls into an
effective self service offering
» When the customer calls, know more
about them and what they want
» Decrease the amount of „zero-outs‟

minute…
