Since implementation of the Call Centre solution, Yopa agents now speak to more customers than ever, and have better, more bespoke conversations with each one. They report an increase of 75% for the monthly talk time compared to that of last year. Improving from 400 hours to 700 hours of productive talk time over the course of the year 2022. 

“We are thrilled to share our experience with the telephony provider that helped us navigate the unprecedented challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. The zero minutes downtime on the announcement of the lockdown in 2020 was a testament to their commitment to providing uninterrupted service to their clients. 

While others in our industry were forced to abandon their high street offices and leave their phones unanswered, this telephony provider went above and beyond to help us, and more than 3000 other customers fulfil their moves during the lockdown months. Their dedication to customer service was evident throughout the pandemic, and we are grateful for their unwavering support.”

The additional 300 hours of productive talk time recorded and a 200% increase in dials completed on a monthly basis are clear indicators of their dedication to efficiency and productivity. 

Since implementing the Five9 telephony system, our inbound department has moved from being a cost centre to a net-neutral position, with a forecasted cost savings of approximately £300k annually. We now handle 30k leads per month with just 15 heads, compared to the 50 heads required in 2018 pre-Five9. Additionally, we manage 80k dials per month with just 15 heads, with each agent averaging 85 calls per day. 

We are also pleased to report that our inbound call centre service level has remained consistently below 90 seconds, exceeding industry averages. While some companies still have COVID-related IVR messages and low staffing levels, we are proud to offer our customers uninterrupted service thanks to our telephony provider. 

Overall, we highly recommend this telephony provider to any business looking for a reliable, efficient, and cost-effective solution for their communication needs.
