Understanding Customer Frustration
Customers find being on hold frustrating for several reasons. One major issue is the wait times. Studies reveal that nearly 60% of customers are likely to hang up if they are kept on hold for just one minute. Many expect efficient interactions and have little tolerance for delays.
Another concern arises from knowledge gaps among live agents. Customers may perceive that frequent holds indicate a lack of training or knowledge, which can diminish their confidence in the information provided. This leads to operational inefficiencies and increased frustration.
AI technology like Voyce AI is revolutionising customer service by enhancing efficiency and providing instant responses, significantly reducing hold times. With Voyce AI’s voice agents, businesses can now automate routine tasks, handle frequently asked questions, and even manage appointment bookings—freeing up human agents to focus on complex interactions that require empathy and problem-solving.
