Improving IVR Containment Rates

As part of a focused effort to ensure a consistent customer experience across all self-service channels, Southern California Gas has continuously improved its IVR by enhancing menus and call flows and leveraging the benefits of touchtone and speech. Independent customer usability testing has validated the changes, and since 2012, SoCalGas has seen its IVR self-service rate – defined as calls that begin and end in the IVR – rise from 24% to more than 48%.

Attend this webinar to learn how SoCalGas uses an analytics-based approach to improve the customer experience.
