1. Consider the cost for employing and training additional staff to cope with calls at peak times, by deploying call queuing will cut down on the need for this.
2. Think of your brand reputation from the caller, without you having call queuing deployed when all agents are unavailable, are you returning a busy tone to the agent?
3. What is the average value of an abandoned call to your business? If the caller receives a busy tone or a message asking to call back later are they likely to try again or ring a rival company? By deploying call queuing you can give the caller the option to wait rather than hope they call back later.
4. Give a more professional image to your callers by playing professional on hold music and on hold messages to the caller. These can be used to clearly inform the caller of their queue position and estimated wait times while also playing on hold messages including FAQ's to the caller and also up-selling additional products and promoting your website etc.
5. Financial savings – by deploying a network call queuing functionality reduces the high setup costs of onsite hardware and ongoing maintenance .
6. What are your DR plans in the event of bad weather, for example causing staffing levels to be lower than expected which in effect, causes high call volumes and additional abandoned calls? By deploying a network call queuing solution, you gain full control of call routing via a web interface which will allow you to route calls between your call centre and also to agents working from home using the existing network call queue.
7. Reducing existing telephony costs – by deploying a network call queue, it reduces the need for the number of lines / channels on your existing ISDN30 circuits as the call will queue in the network cloud rather than on the PBX.
8. Have you thought about which type of 08 NGN is required for your business? By utilising call recording, you can earn a revenue share on calls that are queuing while at the same time being compliant with Phone Pay Plus regulations on the higher revenue share 0871 NGN's.
9. Live queue stats will allow the call centre manager to view in real-time what is happening in terms of calls queuing and connected calls, allowing them to be more proactive in getting staff to answer calls at peak times, thus eliminating additional lost calls.
10. How do you currently manage staffing levels? Using the comprehensive historical management reports allows you to build up a year on year call terms analysis allowing you to manage your staffing levels based on peak call volumes.
Live call queuing statistics are the results and figures that come from Call Queuing. At Elite Telecom we can provide you with the software that generates the results from the programme for you, showing you an up-to-date view of how many calls are in the queue and how many calls are connected to your business.
Live call queuing statistics can allow you to monitor how your staff and your customers interact too. You can see how long it takes your staff to answer calls, how long they are on the phone to customers and how long customers will wait in a queue. By learning these things, you can quickly and easily make your business more efficient and improve the customer experience.
Live call queuing statistics can really benefit your business and can put you in the know so you can better manage it. For more information on our live call queuing statistics, call Elite today.

If you think your cable or satellite bill has been rising, you're not imagining things. New federal data shows that the price of a monthly subscription has risen swiftly in Canada over the past six years and I bet the UK's pricing structure will follow suit, outpacing the cost of other consumer items.
A report issued yesterday by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission shows the price of cable, satellite and pay-television services has risen 29 per cent since 2002.
The consumer price index shows a measure of the cost of a set basket of goods - has risen 14 per cent in that time.
Meanwhile, the cost of Internet service dropped 4 per cent during the same period, and the price of home phone service climbed 6 per cent. The report, which is based on figures compiled by live call queue statistics does not measure the cost of wireless phone bills in Canada.
