How do I improve response time without hiring more agents?
Three approaches: (1) Deploy AI to handle repetitive questions instantly, (2) Use smart routing to assign conversations to the right agent immediately, (3) Create templates and macros for common responses. AI has the largest impact, reducing average first response time by 80-90%.
