It is a simple process: Go to the campaign tab and click on the campaign you are joining, and here, review the questions and suggested script to guide your conversation, remembering, of course, that the most important thing is to be yourself through this software and the window that will mark the progress so join the campaign at this point do not hang up now you are controlling the communication through this software you can leave the campaign and fill with a smile the answers you get from users.

Pros
8x8, Inc.
  • The out of the box chat feature is outstanding for your website. My team was able to adopt chat easily.
  • Setting up the system with the help of an integrator was especially easy and did not require any IT training on my part.
  • The visibility of being able to manage my team and all media channels in one panel is awesome.

  • All you'll require is your login credentials.
  • You have been given a username for two complementary programs that we use: one is for limited access to remote sales services and call services.
  • Callhub has been limited to protect privacy.

Cons
8x8, Inc.
  • With 2-party states, 8x8 does not give us an option to modify the recorded statement that alerts parties the call is being recorded. The one we could use tends to sound harsh to the second party, and tends to cause sales losses.
  • When they recently changed their admin panel UI, several things the old UI had available never made it across to the new platform.

  • Using new software is frustrating at first, but worth the effort.
  • It's a little weird at first, but it saves you time and the frustration of dialing the wrong number.
  • If it doesn't sometimes work, simply press the update button until you see the phone number you want to answer.

The system is flexible, adaptable and easy to use and research. Once again the reporting is fantastic and gives up the information we need to be successful and even make changes or tweaks. The 8x8 Contact Center team is there to assist with questions when needed or to help get through an issue. Charlie Knutson is the best!!

The initial live support person seems to be just collecting information and is outsourced. Sometimes it is difficult to communicate with them, but going through this process gets me to the right person and having my support ticket opened in order. It's usually very smooth thereafter.

  • For all calls, you must complete at least the first question you are asked in the survey so that we know what type of connection.
  • You can leave a voice message, and a pre-recorded message will play on your answering machine or service when the call is saved.
  • If you get a signal compromised or problem you can hang up once you are in the software which makes it quick and easy.
