Warm transfers are here to save the day
Want to transfer relevant knowledge without the caller hearing it? That is the task for our superhero – warm transfer!
Perfect solution for:
- call center operator who wants to transfer one user to a specific agent but spare him the need to repeat the information she just heard

Make all customer calls awesome using modern telecommunications to their fullest – don’t make your customers repeat information they’ve just given to the first person on a line.
What is cold transfer and why it’s so out of fashion?
Well, it might be just that we as humans are warm-blooded and like the sun. But there’s more to it under covers:
- cold transfer (or blind transfer as it used to be called) is simply transferring the call from original agent to the new agent without the background information
- cold transfers happen without the live agent or live receptionist
- blind transfers well, kind of self explanatory, blind – transferred incoming calls to a destination agent, leaving him in complete ignorance about the customer’s query
- imagine a situation when caller reaches agent missing on the other end – then he will be transferred to voicemail
But remember, not all call transfers are created equal. Warm transfer is not always necessarily better than a cold transfer. For instance, when the agent answers and realizes that the caller reached the wrong department, she should just transfer a call to appropriate line.
