What is a Preferred Agent?
Preferred Agent feature is an advanced call routing solution designed to enhance customer interactions by ensuring calls are directed to a specific, assigned agent.
This functionality ensures that your clients are always connected to the agent they know and trust, providing a more personalized and consistent experience.

How Does a Preferred Agent Work?
When a customer calls, the system automatically routes them to their designated representative. This intelligent routing mechanism eliminates unnecessary transfers, reduces wait times, and provides a seamless, personalized experience.
