Inbound and outbound communications
- Reduce dialler volume by changing dialler communications to IVR or another communication type where possible. If an alternate communication isn’t an option, it may be necessary to pause outbound dialler campaigns temporarily.
- Think about communications which prompt a self-serve response rather than an inbound call, such as 2way SMS, IVR & Virtual Assistant options.
