The document provides step-by-step instructions for transferring calls in different scenarios using the MAX phone interface. It describes 5 types of transfers: 1) direct to internal voicemail, 2) to a queue for the next available advisor, 3) blind transfers internally and externally, 4) warm transfers where the advisor can speak to the recipient before transferring, and 5) 3-way warm transfers where all parties can speak before the call is sent. Tips are provided to keep the transfer process simple such as building on previous transfer types and differentiating between internal and external transfers.

2. TRANSFER TRAINING OVERVIEW
2
One of the most common questions regarding the MAX phone interface is how to transfer calls. In this training, a step-by-step
guide on the various transfer scenarios will be covered.
These are the 5 types of transfers you can perform in MAX:
For unavailable, working, or logged off states in MAX:
1. Transfer directly to an internal employee’s voice mail (for a MAX employee to reach other MAX employees)
• For MAX employees reaching out to non-MAX employees, it will depend on the recipient’s call handling
whether it goes directly to voice mail or not
2. Transfer into a queue for the next available advisor
For available states in MAX:
3. Traditional cold (blind) transfer
4. Warm transfer A) Ability to talk with the recipient only before transferring call (2-way)
5. Warm Transfer B) Ability to consult with all three parties before transferring call (3-way)

3. 1.0 INTERNAL TRANSFERS – DIRECT TO VM
3
In MAX, if an advisor is in an unavailable state, working state, or logged off state, and you want the call to go directly to voice mail
for another MAX user, then always dial to the full RingCentral directory number.
1) While on an
active call, press
the “Transfer /
Conf” button
2) Type in the direct
number or name of
the person you want
to connect with
3) To transfer
directly to an
internal employee’s
voice mail, select the
full RingCentral
number
4) Choose the
Outbound skill to
show what the
customer will see in
caller ID
5) Select transfer to
put directly into the
voice mail of the
recipient
For MAX employees reaching out to non-MAX employees, it will depend on the recipient’s call handling whether it goes directly to voice mail or not. Other than that
caveat, the process is identical to that of the above.

4. 2.0 INTERNAL TRANSFERS – DIRECT TO QUEUE
4
If the caller would like to be helped by the next available advisor instead of going to voice mail, use the following procedures to
transfer the call directly into a queue.
1) While on an
active call, press
the “Transfer /
Conf” button
2) Type in the direct
number or name of
the person or queue
you want to connect
with
3) To transfer to
queue select the
MAX Extension and
click Transfer
4) This transfers directly
into the queue for the
customer to hold or be
connected with the next
available advisor
This procedure could also be used to send a call to an individual queue as well. However, this is not generally recommended due to potentially excessive hold times.

5. 3.0 COLD (BLIND) TRANSFERS – (MAX TO MAX)

11. TIPS
11
Below are a few tips to help keep the process of transferring as simple as possible:
• Transfers 3, 4, and 5 simply build on each other with each one having a single subsequent step.
• The only difference between transferring from MAX to MAX vs. MAX to non-MAX, is that for the former you call the
recipient’s MAX number whereas in the latter, there won’t even be a MAX number. Instead you will call the listing with
the bookmark symbol for directory calls, or designated as “external” for non-directory numbers.
• Transferring to a MAX users RingCentral directory number (as indicated by the bookmark symbol) will always go directly
to the voice mail of the recipient regardless of what state they are logged into.
