Bosley Chooses UCN's inContact as Strategic Platform for Growth
Global leader in hair restoration turns to off-premises, hosted technology to improve customer satisfaction while lowering cost

SALT LAKE CITY, March 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- UCN, Inc. , the leading provider of network-based integrated customer contact center solutions today announced that Beverly Hills' Bosley, a world leader in hair restoration, has successfully implemented inContact(R) throughout its 120 agent contact center system. Bosley's selection focused on inContact's ability to easily deploy remote agents and its advanced CTI (Computer Telephony Integration) capabilities that makes possible Bosley's world-class localized service.

"Through inContact, our virtual consultations have become increasingly more effective in delivering the personalized, high-touch service that sets Bosley apart," said Brian Liebenthal, director of call center operations for Bosley. "Now, we can route calls from prospective clients to Bosley consultants working at home or in our local area offices. This local touch instantly increases the customer's comfort level and satisfaction," adds Liebenthal.

Bosley is now able to quickly pinpoint areas of frustration for customers using the platform's real-time reporting tools. "The first thing we noticed after implementing inContact, was a high rate of abandoned calls we didn't know we were missing," said Liebenthal. "Knowing that many of these callers actually call us back a few minutes or sometimes hours later is very reassuring to us."

"If you go with traditional systems, it's really going to cost you," explained Liebenthal. "UCN provides all the benefits without the high cost of ownership. For example, now we can address the challenges of calculating the ROI for marketing media buys spread over many toll-free numbers and regions. With UCN, for the first time we have 100 percent accuracy with our media codes. That's extremely important since media is our largest single expense and lever for growth. Additionally, agent handle time has dropped by one minute per call with improved efficiency, reduced costs and increased customer satisfaction."

Strategic Asset

According to Liebenthal, "UCN's inContact solution is much more than just a great call center system. The team of contact center professionals is now an integral part of who we are, where we want to go and how we plan to get there. 'inContact' has actually become a Bosley company acronym."

Said Paul Jarman, UCN CEO, "It is exciting to team up with companies like Bosley who are using our products and our experience to help transform their contact centers from cost centers to strategic assets that drive the bottom-line. Our company is looking forward to helping Bosley further improve its operations with a suite of additional agent performance optimization services available from our network-based platform."
