So I’ve done other videos on this same topic or similar topic. But one thing that I know for certain is if your company is interested in a bot for your call center or an AI VA, an intelligent virtual agent, it’s really overwhelming. There’s, you know, there’s a lot to think about. There’s a million different ways you can go with it. And so it’s kind of important to really start narrowing your focus to help you get a foothold on that project. And one of the videos I did, I talk about three, your three top calls that you should be thinking about, like what are the three most common calls that happen within your cloud call center environment? So what are the three most common calls that are coming in?
What are the three most common calls that are going out like no, those three calls right out of the gate. So that’s really important. Watch that other video I did. But once you do that, the next step is to think about what qualifies AI and questions do we need to ask on those calls? So I want to talk a little bit about that in that video and why that’s going to help you.

What are your top 3 calls
All right. So as I mentioned earlier, make sure you watch the video I did on if you’re looking into Ivey, you want to first determine the three most common calls that your call center is either making or receiving. That’s really important, number one. But then after that, I want you to think about is what qualifying questions do we need to ask on each one of those particular calls. So what that’s going to do is it’s going to help you start to really map the call flow of, okay, this call comes in great. You know, they want to know their order status. They want to know like, hey, you know, where’s my order at? I place an order. What’s the order status?
Customer Verification
Or what is the next level of questioning that you need to have? Like, you know, what’s the order number? What’s your name, what’s in your email? Like, what qualifying questions do you need to know at that point? What level of verification maybe you need to do some deep verification if you’re a bank or a financial institution and you can’t just give out this information without doing two or three different forms of identity with the person, you know, maybe the last four of their social or things like that.
So start thinking about that. What are those qualifying questions that you need to ask to really? Okay, I can’t I still can’t help you on this call until we ask these questions. So you in after the answer those questions, you can either transfer to a live agent, you can answer their fake you, or you can give them the information right away. You can you can just pull the information from a data dip. But at least you’re starting to map the whole thing out.
So know your three most common calls and then know the qualifying questions that need to be asked right away. And that will help you start to really understand how a bot or IVA solution is going to be able to help your company improve your customer experience, improve your your payroll, the amount of employees you have as call center agents, all that good stuff.
