When you don't, you want to reach your provider as soon as possible. That is why so many utilities have upgraded their contact centres to provide the best possible service. Many are also adopting a proactive customer service approach to facilitate the communication at unexpected peaks such as a natural phenomenon disasters or the need to quickly contact thousand of customers in a very short time frame. |
For example, if power is down and you know that your customers will be calling the contact centre, you can proactively set up an IVR with an automatic message or implement an automatic outbound campaign, using the IVR, informing customers about the situation.
