Nobody likes being transferred three times. Good call routing sends each caller to the right person the first time, and that starts with a little planning.
Start with your busiest calls
List the top reasons people call you. Those reasons become the options in your menu, or the teams in your ring groups.
Use ring groups for shared lines
Ring groups let several agents answer the same number. Calls go to whoever is free, so callers wait less and no single person is overloaded.
Keep menus short
Two or three options are usually enough. Long menus frustrate callers and send them to the wrong place.
Set business hours
Outside opening hours, route calls to voicemail or to the AI voice assistant, which can answer common questions and take a message.
