important as the technology.

IVRs…
1) You are asked by the agent to repeat
information that you already
provided.
2) You are made to listen to several
minutes of nonsense before you are
offered anything that you care about.
3) You are made to wait a long time
only to be routed to an agent who
doesn t know who you are or what
you want.
4) You wait a long time only to discover
that you are in the wrong queue.
5) You are bounced from one IVR
system to another IVR system.
