Call Transfer

Seamless Call Transfers for Efficient Call Handling

When you transfer calls, you seem more professional and make calling more pleasant for yourself and your callers.

What is Call Transfer?

Call transfer is a call handling feature that allows a call center agent to transfer an incoming call to another agent, department, or external phone number.

The Different Types of Call Transfers

Warm Transfer: In a warm transfer, the transferring agent communicates with the receiving party before transferring the call, providing context and information about the call to ensure a smooth transfer.

Using this is perfect for situation where you are not entirely sure whether the person to whom you want to transfer the call is available.

Cold Transfer: In a cold transfer, the transferring agent initiates the transfer without prior communication with the receiving party, transferring the call directly to the desired destination without sharing any information.

This, by contrast, is useful for when time is of the essence and you have to move callers as fast as possible.

What Are The Benefits of Call Transfers?

Improved call handling efficiency

Call transfers allow agents to route calls to the appropriate personnel or departments quickly and efficiently, reducing call handling time and improving overall productivity.

Enhanced customer experience

Call transfers enable agents to provide prompt and accurate assistance to callers by connecting them with the most suitable agent or department, resulting in a better customer experience.

Flexibility in call routing

Call transfers provide flexibility in routing calls to different internal or external numbers, allowing for efficient call distribution based on call center needs.

Increased professionalism

Being able to seamlessly transfer instead of yelling, “Hey ____, phone for you!” makes you come across as a professional organization as opposed to one which is somewhat chaotic.

Get your callers to the answers they need

The entire point is solving things – so instead of you having to guess at what’s correct, simply get people to the individuals who actually know what they’re doing.

How do I Transfer Phone Calls to Another Phone?
