In 2020, ZipWhip surveyed 1,000 consumers and 1,600 businesses to learn about how they’re interacting on mobile devices. 32 percent of the consumers surveyed claimed they had texted a business and never received a reply. People remember those interactions. And they don’t care what your excuse is. If you ignored them or weren’t able to serve them through their preferred channel, they’re going to find a competitor who gives them what they want.
But people don’t like talking to robots. And IVR often forces people to listen to a lot of irrelevant information before they hear the option they’re looking for. And the thing they’re trying to do may not even be one of the choices!
Also note, this system works over your NETWORK (not your phone wires). It will connect to up to 4 standard phone lines (or Internet-based VoIP service) but the connection between the phones and the UCM6204 "base" are done over a Ethernet NETWORK. The bad news is that if you only have phone lines running everywhere (2 or 4 wires only) then you will have to run new wiring. The good news is that if you already have a computer network and computers at each phone location, these phones can be connected to that existing network. (If you only have one network jack per location, the phones' built-in network switch lets you "pass" the network connection through the phone to your computer so both can be connected).
You can use an existing business hours and holiday schedule to configure the time/days your auto attendant is operational and non-operational, or create a new schedule when you create an auto attendant. To configure your business hours and holiday schedules in advance of creating an auto attendant, see Create and Configure a Schedule in Cisco Webex Control Hub for more information.
Many companies offer an escape option so that if a caller ends up in a staff member’s voice mailbox, he or she can “escape” out of the mailbox and go back to the attendant menu. Use a customized auto-attendant for this situation. If you would like to leave a voicemail, please press 1 and leave your name, number, and a brief message. If you would like to return to the main menu, please press the # key.

A lot of businesses use interactive voice response (IVR) to field incoming calls. Also known as an auto attendant, IVR systems provide callers with a menu of options to request information or complete basic transactions. It’s mostly a self-serve process that a caller navigates via voice or their keypad, but it usually provides a path to speak to a real employee.

The way the salon and spa makes a client feel can make a more important impression than the results of a new cut and color or a rejuvenating facial. How a guest is greeted on the phone, welcomed when they walk in the door, and eased through check out is an integral part of the service and plays and important part in whether or not the guest chooses to return.
