Building our brand's voice with Jabra

Here’s the thing: the phone call isn’t going anywhere.

Probably not too surprising of a statement from a company that’s built an entire business communication platform around that concept but the fact is that people—your customers, prospects, colleagues—still want to talk to a person whether they’re trying to get help or make a purchase.

And while sales and support industries have shifted their focus to include a whole litany of other platforms and products (live chat, email, AI chatbots), there’s always going to be a place for the phone call, especially when solutions can’t easily be answered by a bot or found in a help article.

Evaluating a new channel

Many customers still look for a phone number on company websites. So the big question isn’t necessarily whether or not customers want to talk to you but really, are you ready to answer?

Adding in any new channel or revitalizing one that’s in need of a change to your sales or support offering shouldn’t be a decision you make overnight. As your evaluating, ask yourself:

• Is my team prepared to handle a new communication channel?
• How do we roll this out to customers?
• How will we measure the impact on the business?

Answering these questions will undoubtedly help you decide whether phone support will make sense for your team as well as the larger org. And if the answer is yes, you’ll also have a clear list of expectations you can use to evaluate the tech that you’ll need to help you get there.

Building your brand’s voice

Is there anything more frustrating than calling into a support line and instead of being able to hear the agent, you’re hearing every other conversation happening around them? How about when the call quality is so bad you’re barely catching every other word? Or worse yet: waiting on hold for so long, finally reaching and agent, and suddenly *click*....your call drops.

The problem is that when these things happen, customers don’t go to blame the phone service or headsets being used in the call center—they blame the brand. Their experience is a reflection of your service.

The good news? These are solvable problems. They just take the right combination of tech to help you do it and starting today, now includes Dialpad and Jabra.
