Call Barge: Empowering Real-Time Call Assistance
Call Barge is a VoIP feature that allows supervisors to join an ongoing call between an agent and a customer, transforming it into a three-way conversation. This capability is essential for providing immediate assistance, ensuring quality control, and enhancing customer satisfaction.
How Does Call Barge Work?
When a supervisor identifies a call that requires intervention—perhaps due to an agent’s difficulty or a customer’s complex inquiry—they can “barge” into the call. This action seamlessly adds the supervisor to the conversation, enabling real-time support without the need for call transfers or callbacks.
