Part 3: Do you have flow in your call flow?

Every Company Is in Constant Change — Make Sure Your Phone System Keeps Up

New hires. New departments. New customer groups. New IT systems.

A new office in Borås, Uppsala, or Karlstad.

Digitalized workflows. Product launches. Agile projects.

Every company is in constant change.

Making sure your tools evolve — and support you — as you change isn’t just convenient.

It’s often essential for achieving the business results you’re aiming for.

One of those tools is your phone system — and more specifically, your call flow.

If your call flow doesn’t reflect how your organization now works, friction will quickly build up — both internally and externally.

Calls get missed. Customers end up with the wrong person. Response times slow down.

It’s easy to conclude that “the system isn’t working properly.”

But is the system really the problem — or has it simply not been optimized for your company’s new reality?

Our guess?

In most cases, it’s the latter — especially if you’re already using a modern, cloud-based system that’s easy to update and expand (like humblebrag lynes).

“The right phone system lets your needs guide your call flow — and you can adjust it quickly and easily whenever things change.”

Call Flows Must Evolve as Your Company Grows

We’ve configured thousands of phone systems for all types of businesses and organizations.

In our experience, companies usually revisit their call flow when they switch or upgrade their phone system — and then leave it untouched for years.

But your call flow should be as dynamic as your business.

Regularly reviewing your workflow helps you ensure that your phone system supports — rather than hinders — your operations.

An optimized call flow makes sure that incoming calls are handled efficiently and that your team can focus on what matters most.

Build Efficient Workflows — and Include the Phone System in the Equation

If your company is like most others, the phone is still one of the main ways customers get in touch.

A poorly optimized system can cost you missed calls — and missed revenue.

A well-structured call flow, on the other hand, saves time and energy.

Energy you can reinvest in growing and improving your business.

Before You Make a Major Change, Ask Yourself:

• Do you need to update your welcome message so customers know they’ve reached the right company or department?
• Should you create or update your answer groups?
• Do you need to add or adjust menu options for incoming calls?
• Should callers be informed that they’re in a queue — and how many people are ahead of them?
• Is your queue message up to date? Does it still reflect your current situation?
• Will your upcoming changes temporarily affect your ability to answer calls?
  • If so, consider letting customers book a callback instead.
• Are you understaffed during a transition?
  • Then it might be smart to route calls to an operator who can log the issue and notify your team.
