We're a mid sized office with sales, support, billing, and accounting all sharing one main number, and our old menu was this flat list that confused even our own new employees half the time, let alone customers. Built out a proper multi level menu instead, so pressing one option for support actually branches into sub options, billing questions versus technical issues, instead of dumping everyone into one general queue regardless of what they actually needed. Misrouted calls dropped noticeably once people could actually navigate to the right sub department themselves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Went a little overboard with how many levels deep I built it at first, had someone complain they pressed through three menus before finally reaching a person, had to flatten it back down once I realized I'd made it more confusing trying to be too specific. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Oliver, it is great how restructuring your main number into a multi-level IVR menu helped reduce misrouted calls across sales, support, billing, and accounting! Striking the right balance with auto-attendant menu depth is a common challenge; it is easy to over-engineer IVR trees in an effort to cover every sub-case, only to realize that a shallower, 2-tier structure delivers a much faster and better customer experience.
