-- Mike Moors, Aspect Vice President of Worldwide Partners
“Suddenlink is committed to providing a superior customer experience. Implementing Fonolo’s call-back solution has been a huge success.

It’s clear that offering a call-back option is essential to providing excellent customer service.”
-- Gibbs Jones, Senior Vice President of Customer Experience at Suddenlink
“Having a call-back solution is an essential feature for any contact center and becomes critical for an underperforming center. A properly programmed call-back feature will mitigate long queue time and turn the negative of waiting on hold into the positive of receiving a call-back. In addition to that, it takes pressure off the agents and our members really enjoy the experience. With Fonolo’s call-back solution we decreased our abandonment rate by 50%, increased service level targets by 43% and saw an upsurge in agent morale!”
-- Mark Edelman, Vice President Digital Member Services, Stanford Federal Credit Union
