Avoid sending accounts to collection

Vistio helps your agents more consistently work out payment arrangements with customers who are behind on their bills, rather than sending those accounts to collection.

"With such a high-visibility and potentially politically-sensitive program, we had to be prepared for every scenario, and we needed to be able to make changes quickly as the program evolved.

Vistio not only ensured that every agent handled each call correctly and as efficiently as possible, but it also gave us the agility we needed to incorporate changes into our workflows quickly."

AgentHub instantly upskills agents to handle complex emergency calls

icon

PROBLEM

For a utility client, handling emergency calls for gas leaks or carbon monoxide alarms is critical to providing good service and keeping customers safe.It’s also complex and stressful for agents, so only a limited number of experienced staff were able to handle emergency calls.

SOLUTION

The proper emergency handling process was built into an AgentHub workflow to dynamically guide agents during the call so every employee could handle emergencies quickly, accurately, and confidently.

RESULTS

With AgentHub guiding agents through the emergency process, all frontline agents are handling these types of complex calls in a consistent and expert manner regardless of tenure and specialization. This boosted the client’s ability to improve their emergency response without increasing labor costs or increasing the risk of mishandling calls.

3x number of agents with skills to handle emergency calls with less than 30 minutes of training

The team previously only had about 20 agents who were trained and able to handle emergency calls; now they have 76.
