We discovered that our customers were genuinely pleased with our products, but preferred reduced hold times,&#8221; said Ross Bogitch, the Call Center Director for CheapoAir.com.<\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.send2press.com\/wire\/images\/07-0307-CheapoAir.jpg\" align=\"left\" hspace=\"20\" alt=\"Caption: CheapoAir\" \/>Ironically, it was the company&#8217;s immense popularity growth that initially produced increased customer feedback. That customer feedback prompted us to completely redesign the manner in which CheapoAir.com handles common customer issues.<\/p>\n<p> Such changes included 24\/7 customer support and an increased staff. &#8220;We determined that we needed to reduce customer hold times. The difference between having to wait ten minutes or fifteen seconds to speak with a representative can make all the difference in the world,&#8221; said Bogitch. <\/p>\n<p> The results have been dramatic. Our hold times have decreased by 65% and caller abandonment rates have plummeted by 70%, creating a substantially more pleasurable experience for our consumers.<\/p>\n<p> By month&#8217;s end, CheapoAir.com plans to unveil an enormous multi-national call center to allow for continued staff increases. In November, the company will also launch a state-of-the-art phone system with the ultimate goal of completely eliminating customer hold times &#8212; an ambitious feat for any large business.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;We believe that superior customer service creates a far more loyal user base, and CheapoAir.com isn&#8217;t backing off its pledge to create the industry standard for customer service.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p> &#8220;CheapoAir&#8217;s customer service goal is One Call &#8211; does it all, to make finding cheap flights a hassle-free experience. We&#8217;re confident the steps we&#8217;ve taken to improve customer service will help our customers achieve this goal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> CheapoAir.com is a NYC based consumer travel web site offering low airfares to its 3 Million plus customer base.
