Using the conference feature to consult a colleague
In an onsite contact center, agents frequently use the Hold feature to temporarily hold a
customer call while they consult a colleague. This consult could be speaking to some
one at the next desk, or using the DN key on the telephone to place a call to an expert.
Offsite agents using a single line telephone will not be able to place a call on hold and
then originate another call.
To temporarily hold a customer call and consult a colleague, use the Conference feature
on Agent Desktop.
Prerequisites
• You are on a customer call.
• You know the number of the person you want to consult.
