It became clear that companies are increasingly looking to minimize customer contact. One reason for this is the increasing cost pressure in many sectors, but also the growing importance of self-service offerings. Customers want to deal with their concerns independently and quickly without having to rely on personal contact.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-body font-regular text-gray-800 leading-[24px] pt-[9px] pb-[2px]\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-28ce250 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"28ce250\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6eccbf3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6eccbf3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The role of virtualQ in contact avoidance<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bef82a2 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"bef82a2\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-43e84b4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"43e84b4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"text-body font-regular text-gray-800 leading-[24px] pt-[9px] pb-[2px]\" dir=\"ltr\">One of the reasons for a high level of customer contact is <a href=\"https:\/\/virtualq.io\/en\/news\/use-case\/optimal-resources-with-peaksituations-from-callback\/\">constant peaks in customer service<\/a>. In such situations, there is often an exponential increase in the number of contacts, as customers call again and again to resolve their concerns as quickly as possible. But this is exactly where virtualQ comes in: By avoiding redialing through automated callbacks, virtualQ reduces the number of contacts and thus supports companies in their goal of contact avoidance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-body font-regular text-gray-800 leading-[24px] pt-[9px] pb-[2px]\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6e22a12 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"6e22a12\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f82db7d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f82db7d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The reliable callback date from virtualQ<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ec2024d e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"ec2024d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2388a89 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2388a89\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"text-body font-regular text-gray-800 leading-[24px] pt-[9px] pb-[2px]\" dir=\"ltr\">Instead of keeping the customer on hold, virtualQ offers a reliable callback appointment. This gives the customer the certainty that their request will be dealt with at a specific time and that they do not have to call several times. This efficient organization of customer contact also relieves the burden on employees, as they can concentrate on processing inquiries. <a href=\"https:\/\/virtualq.io\/en\/news\/cases\/success-story-oebb\/\">\u00d6BB has been using virtualQ for several years for this purpose<\/a>, among others.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-body font-regular text-gray-800 leading-[24px] pt-[9px] pb-[2px]\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7303813 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"7303813\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-04ea0c2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"04ea0c2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Conclusion: Contact avoidance as an important trend in customer service<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a907a0c e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"a907a0c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a58bb65 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a58bb65\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"text-body font-regular text-gray-800 leading-[24px] pt-[9px] pb-[2px]\" dir=\"ltr\">The results of the 23\/24 trend study show that contact avoidance is becoming increasingly important for companies in customer service. virtualQ supports this development by avoiding continuous peaks and providing a reliable callback date.
