Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using for our member enrollment process.We get eligible members data from our marketing team and integrated with the Marketing cloud. After automation is complete, all these will be loaded as records in our Salesforce environment and syncs into Five9 dialer via List Sync Plus add on package from Five9. Our agents login to Salesforce and then open engage widget. With the progressive dialer from Five9 calls get automatically connected to our agents. Previously our agents used to make manual calls and able to complete only 30-40 calls per individual. But now every agent is completing almost 100 calls which has increased their productivity by 300%.

Pros

  • Progressive dialing
  • screen pop up in salesforce when the call is connected
  • List sync plus package for syncing records into Five9 Dialer
  • Logging tasks in salesforce for every call.
  • Very easy to disposition a connected call

Cons

  • The Five9 VCC User Interface can be improved a lot
  • recently they improved their reporting interface. Still lot of scope for improvement in UI here too
  • Can improve capabilities around prioritization and automations that can be done with Salesforce.

Return on Investment

  • We had a very great ROI as we had revenue increase due to more number of enrollments within a given period
  • agent productivity increased by 300%
  • very positive feedback for our engineering team from our business teams

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Five9 as a tool to make and receive calls from various departments such as Customer Care, Underwriting, Claims, and others. These departments have experienced issues primarily from supervisor consoles, as they sometimes lose access without making significant changes to the admin console. While it's a tool that has helped us complete various tasks to contact our customers, it has also enabled us to replace Zoom Phone, as it makes it easier to assign new contact numbers to agents, whereas Zoom Phone only allows reusing existing numbers.

Pros

  • it makes it easier to assign new contact numbers to agents.
  • Good tool to make and receive calls from various departments such as Customer Care, Underwriting, Claims, and others.
  • it's a tool that has helped us complete various tasks to contact our customers.
  • It's a good tool with an easy-to-use interface for new users.

Cons

  • They need a more minimalist look.
  • They need to improve the supervisor console because it's very basic.
  • These departments have experienced issues primarily from supervisor consoles because they sometimes lose access without making significant changes to the admin console

Return on Investment

  • it has also allowed us to replace Zoom Phone.
  • it makes it easier to assign new contact numbers to agents, while Zoom Phone only allows reusing numbers.
  • New agents aren't receiving calls from previous agents because they don't reuse numbers.
  • The user group license is cheaper than the Zoom Phone license, which allows for a better ROI.

Great call center solution to keep dials moving along with a simple approach. There isn't much lag time in between calls kicking in to the next roll out and it is easy to disposition. I really like the features of 'chirp' in as it helps with training and helping reps close deals.

  • Easy to use.
  • Great for training/monitoring.
  • Great for high-volume call centers.

Cons

  • Limited analytics.
  • Outages and Support Issues.
  • Lack of Advanced AI capabilities.

Return on Investment

  • Allows high volume days for beginner level reps that dont cost as much to employ.
  • Simple KPI thoughts with this CRM: More calls= more sales.
  • Enables me to jump in and assist people in closing sales.
