BenchmarkPortal's CallTalk Show to Focus on IVR

In our increasingly automated world, IVR systems are an essential component to successful call center strategy. These platforms reduce queues, offer valuable information to agents before a call and can even answer basic questions without tying up call center personnel.  With this in mind, call center educator and certification provider BenchmarkPortal (News - Alert) will be focusing on IVR in their upcoming CallTalk show.

Broadcasted on a monthly basis directly over the Internet, CallTalk covers informative and educational topics impacting the call center today.

It will feature Benchnmark’s CEO Bruce Belfiore who will be joined by Service Agility’s President Jay Minucci to discuss the basics of IVRs and offer tips for getting the best out of its deployment in a call center.
