Pillar of Support

Most businesses will have customers who use their product/service even on defined holidays. Create a separate call flow to handle holidays so that priority requests get routed to available agents immediately while low priority ones get registered in the system to be looked into later. Remember to always provide help to those who seek it.

Responsive Internal Teams

Holidays remain a favorite time for teams to work on maintenance and upgrades to existing systems. Sometimes these activities lead to downtime for all system users be it, customers or internal employees. Downtimes (planned & not) are never desirable for teams with a lot at stake.
Instead, you can be smart and use Freshcaller to plan your holiday routing in advance with enough call failover mechanisms. Remember to hope for the best and plan for the worst.

Hiring Never Stops

Holidays in one city or country should never stop truly global organizations from not being able to conduct conversations or interviews with interested candidates. Ensure that there is always someone to talk to interested candidates who are ringing you up to talk about the prospect of joining your world-class organization. Remember to make an offer they can’t refuse.
