Metropark’s Voice Exchange (MPVEX) allows many enhancements to your caller’s experience.  Typically, your MPVEX is the first form of communicating you will have with your callers.  So, you will want to have a professional and friendly voice talent to make sure your callers are greeting properly and provide your information correctly.  This greeting is called and Auto-Attendant.

The Auto-Attendant can be programmed to answer only after normal business hours, or during holidays, or maybe you want the Auto-Attendant to answer after 6 rings when no one else picks up.  Just remember the Auto-Attendant will be working for you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year (no overtime pay needed).

Since you have one of the most versatile unified communicaton platforms in the world, you will want to let the MPVEX Auto-Attendant work for you often.  One of the first things you will want to do, is to make sure your greetings are professional and friendly sounding. This site will help you create some standard scripts to get you started.  MPVEX MOH can also create your Marketing OnHold scripts.

Departments & IVR Menus

You may want to use the Standard Greetings and then add a Departmental or IVR Menu for your caller to route themselves to who they want to talk with. IVR stands for Integrated Voice Response.  They hear your greeting’s Voice tell them to press a number, which is Integrated with your phone system making thier Response a destination (IVR) Example: You may want your callers to hear “For Accounting press 1”.  Then your caller will press the “1” on their keypad and they will be routed to your accounting person or accounting group.  Keep in mind, callers don’t want too many options in the first or main greeting.  They may feel lost, so keep it as short as possible,  Please use this script generator to come up with plenty of options for your callers.

Many business owners use the IVR Menu to give the callers routing information to individuals or groups of people.  You can also use the IVR Menu greeting to provide additional information which can be helpful to the caller without needing to have an employee take the call.  Here is an example:

For Sales, press 1

For Service, press 2

For Accounting, press 3

For directions to our showroom press 4

or press 9 for our name directory

Marketing ON HOLD

Imagine you are waiting “ON HOLD” for someone at your company.  What do you want to hear and how long will you wait until the messages repeat? Those are some things to think about.  We typically recommend music that lasts about 2 to 3 minutes. Over the music, we recommend some nice words about their wait and your company.
