Best Practices When Transferring a Call

Some best practices for call transfer are: Always inform callers before transferring, use warm transfers when context matters, and avoid unnecessary redirections that frustrate customers.

Do’s

Use warm transfers when context is important, so customers don’t repeat themselves.

Inform customers politely before transferring them to another agent or department.

Test call transfer workflows regularly to ensure successful connections.

Combine call transfer with call notes or CRM logging for better context.

Train agents on when to use warm vs. cold transfers for maximum effectiveness.

Dont’s

Don’t transfer calls without confirming the receiving agent is available.

Don’t perform excessive transfers that frustrate the caller.

Don’t transfer blindly without context when the situation requires explanation.

Don’t ignore analytics — review transfer patterns to optimize workflows.

Don’t leave customers on hold for too long before completing a transfer.
