10 Ideas to Take Home with you . . .
• VUI (Voice User Interface design)
is key to your success in
designing speech based self-
service – base your design on
the customer journey
• Use your best call center agents
to guide your design
• Do not use your developers to
guide VUI design or test your
speech based application(s)
• Use Professional Voice Talent
(and matching TTS Voices)
• Always provide your customers
with a live agent option
• Avoid insulting the intelligence of
your customers
• Millennials prefer self-service –
Give them what they want
• Make your simple and easy to
use
• Don’t set up your IVR and walk
away – regularly tune.
• Show your customers that you
value their time – avoid
unnecessary or superfluous
messages
