How can Advanced Rules benefit my business?
1. Priority Call Handling: It allows important callers, such as VIP customers or specific clients, to bypass the auto-attendant and reach a live representative directly, ensuring they receive timely assistance.
2. Enhanced Flexibility: By using a time-of-day schedule, businesses can adjust their call handling based on specific hours or situations, such as peak times, holidays, or after-hours support, ensuring that calls are managed efficiently.
3. Improved Customer Experience: It minimizes wait times for certain callers and provides a more personalized interaction, which can lead to higher satisfaction and better customer service.
