Abstract

Customers of a contact center are subject to a high level of processing in order to best match the customer's needs with an agent qualified to address those needs. However, such processing is often unwarranted, such as when the customer wishes to speak with their personal agent. When a customer is willing to forgo quickly being connected to the next available agent in favor of waiting to be connected with their designated personal agent, even if such a connection occurs at a later time, demands on processing and network resources is decreased. The customer, such as in a second communication, is connected with their personal agent to address the customer's needs.
