What is Postcode Prompting?
Customers easily connect to your nearest location.
Postcode Prompting is a feature that allows your customers to have their calls connected to the closest location. By following the prompts, your customers enter the postcode of the area they are trying to reach so that their calls can be routed to the most appropriate destination as defined by you.
It helps your customers quickly connect to your local shop or office, and works both for both mobiles and landlines. And if they’re not sure about the right postcode, they can be redirected to your head office for help.
Why use Postcode Prompting?
Geographic routing that works for mobile callers.
Simple, accurate and reliable
Your customers call in, enter a postcode and then get the location they’re looking for. They can talk to a local rep or book a table at their nearest restaurant. All without remembering a local number or getting transferred.
Cut wait times and reduce transfers
Send your customers straight to their preferred destination. Automating the process is a win for both customers and staff. You boost productivity and save money, and they get what they want, faster.
Provide consistent location routing
As more people use mobile phones, this feature is increasingly important, because mobiles aren’t compatible with other location routing technologies. So Postcode Prompting is your best bet to serve all your customers, no matter what device they choose.
How does it work?
Divert callers to your closest location based on their postcode.
Who uses Postcode Prompting?
