Nope. Nada. Zilch! Instead, you’ll be paid with time back, less stress and (cue disclaimer: we’re not medical professionals and cannot guarantee the accuracy of this claim) a longer, more productive and happier life!
You can (by why would you?). Simply click ‘delete account’ in the Settings screen. We ask only that you help us understand why by filling out the pop-up questionnaire that appears afterwards.
Great question! Until we’ve launched our own Teleperson chatbot, the best we can offer will be a digital voicemail product (currently early in our roadmap) which we can then send as an audio voicemail to the company. Feel free to also list here which companies you’d like a self-service option from and why. This will help us help you in building out this capability. Thanks!
Security
Data privacy is a critical consideration for us! We are in the process now of implementing enterprise-level compliance programs to ensure your data is secure. At our early stages, we are working with MX, a third-party data
provider. We are also exploring opportunities around integrating blockchain technologies to further ensure data transparency and security.
For more information, visit: how-we-secure.teleperson.com for more information about the Teleperson compliance program.
The two pieces of personal data we would really need are your first name and email. Beyond this, it’s really as much or as little as you like. The more information you can provide the better we are able to recommend companies, products or services to you—based not only on the companies you currently shop from but matched with other members on the Teleperson platform.
In future versions, we will be building in capabilities for you to even monetize your data to sell to companies interested in your profile, enabling you to generate revenue from the Teleperson platform. Stay tuned!
Concierge
The purpose of the Teleperson Concierge is to support you in whatever your needs are. This includes first deciding (through our AI engine) or inquiring (if not clear) which path—chatbot or human—is most optimal for achieving the specific objective. The Concierge will have a memory of each and every transaction across vendor buyer journeys; for example, remembering that a person’s ticket purchase on American Airlines last year was 23.3% cheaper
than Jetblue. The Concierge will provide a uniform experience across each Vendor in an end-customer’s Vendor Hub, from beginning of the call (“Hey Teleperson, I need to call AT&T”) to the end of the call (“John, how was the call with AT&T? Sounded like it went well! Anything else you’d like me to ask AT&T about?”). The Concierge will provide a consistent experience across all vendors, regardless of the vendor or transaction type. With each transaction, the Concierge will learn more about the end-customer’s behavior and preferred choices in different contexts. End-customers will be able to personalize the Concierge’s voice, creating a ‘personal assistant’ feeling to the full customer service experience.
Furthermore, the Concierge will be proactive in its customer service offering, allowing companies to reach out to individual customers based on past transactions or specific deals. An example of this: “Hey John, AT&T would like to offer you $10 off your next bill if you answer a few questions about the service. Any interest?” In addition, anonymized intelligence can be provided to Vendors based on their customers’ behavior (e.g., 62% of customers prefer to speak with an agent when interested in new products). Importantly, for SMBs, the Concierge will provide a voice AI capability which SMBs lack and which larger enterprises can leverage in winning market share or providing more enjoyable experiences. Teleperson’s Concierge will ultimately encourage more use of the application and ultimately provide a consistent and enjoyable experience for the consumer.
Wow, well, where should we start? How about these:
1. Contextual Routing through AI. behavioral routing, based on the specific issue, history, context, sentiment and customer preference with each call);
2. Direct-to-Human. Teleperson’s Concierge brings customers directly to available representatives;
3. Voice / SMS based on Customer Preference. Chatbot functionality combines voice with text, for the fastest
means of communication;
4. Concierge Everywhere. Engage with your Teleperson Concierge through mobile (via Teleperson application), mobile or SMS post-call;
5. Support from Dial-up to hang-up. Teleperson’s Concierge is “with” the customer from first pick-up to the end of the call with full transcription and complete call memory;
6. Multilingual Capabilities. Teleperson’s Concierge speaks multiple languages with automatic translation between customer and Vendor.
Not quite yet. Unfortunately while the Direct-to-Rep piece is ready Day 1, leveraging a company’s existing phone tree (with Teleperson simply mowing down the labrynth for a direct path), the Teleperson chatbot will be limited to the integration we’ll have with the companies you do business with. Our aim is to integrate with every company on the planet so that YOU, the consumer, can decide whether or not to handle your need through chatbot or with a live person. In the beginning stages though, our chatbot, once launched, will help provide general information about the company and its products.
If interested in having a self-service option from the companies you do business with, please let us know which companies and we’ll be sure to let them know!
Great question! Here are just a few:
1. Vendor-Specific Auto Dialer. The Teleperson app will automatically dial the appropriate division based on the need of the customer
2. Greater Human Engagement. Integration with social media network for human representatives will increase the ‘human face’ of Vendors
3. Multi-platform Engagement. Engagement with the appropriate individual can occur across video, audio, or text
4. Wait Experience Decided by Customer. Customer can decide who to speak with and how they want to control the call: either wait for the representative to join or have them call the customer back
5. Relationship Memory. Teleperson will remember which representative was spoken with in previous discussions, providing a more consistent experience with the Vendor
6. Call Analysis & Transcription. The entire call will be analyzed and transcribed, the latter of which will be provided to customers and saved in their accounts
Venders hub
The Teleperson Vendor Hub provides a single place to manage all your vendors. These could
include companies from various industries, including Insurance (home, auto, boat, etc.), Finance (credit cards, bank, etc.), Subscriptions (streaming, news, magazines, audio, etc.), Television (cable, satellite), Recent purchases (furniture, home improvement, electronics, etc.) and Public Utilities (gas / electric, water, trash services, etc.), among others. Once added, you can then manage all of his account management needs through the Teleperson app.

Good question as this is the core of the Teleperson platform. There are two ways:
Manual or Automatic.
How to Manually Add Vendors
Simply add the company’s name and URL into the fields. The URL is critical as it will enable Teleperson to both confirm if we have the company already in our database and, if not, immediately enhance information on the company leveraging third-party APIs such as SalesIntel and Clearbit. Once the company has been added to the system, our team will begin mapping out the company’s call tree to enable the direct-to-rep functionality and make the customer service experience awesome.
How to Automatically Add Vendors
Ah, this is much simpler and more time-efficient!
Working with MX, a third-party, secure platform that works between apps, like Teleperson, and consumers’ financial information, simply add your account information of bank accounts from whom you pay the companies you’d like to add, and our system will then automatically populate your Vendor Lounge with those vendors. In the Vendor Lounge, you can then decide which companies you would like to add to your Vendor Hub account.
Of those vendors our team has already mapped, they will show as active. If there are vendors that are new to our system, they will show as inactive until our team has mapped out the call trees.
No! Only the companies you want. In future versions, you will be able to ‘archive’ companies in your Vendor Lounge, which essentially means that following new transactions the vendors you decide to archive will not re- appear. You can check in your settings to un-archive vendors so they re-appear in your Vendor Lounge.
We’ve added several different type of Vendor Screens.
They include:
My Vendors. These are vendors you’ve added directly from your Vendor Lounge. These are the vendors our team will be actively “mapping” (i.e., building the Direct-to-Rep power; find out about the benefits of the My Vendors page here).
Community Vendors. These are vendors who are not in your Vendor Hub but are in the Vendor Hubs of your community members (i.e., your “community” is defined by those with whom you share at least one shared vendor. For example, you and Lisa have added Burger King to your Vendor Hubs, but Lisa added Staples to her Vendor Hub while you added Office Depot. Therefore Office Depot will be in your Community page while Staples will be in Lisa’s Community page). The Community Vendor page is also a great way to discover other Vendors out there (find out about the benefits of the Community Vendor page here).
Trending Vendors. These are vendors that are receiving top customer service scores on the Teleperson platform. They may or may not be already added as part of your my Vendors page (find out about the benefits of the Trending Vendor page here).
Recommended Vendors. These are vendors that have been automatically recommended based on the vendors you currently have in your Vendor Hub or who are popular vendors among those within your community who you share specific profile characteristics (e.g., demographics). The more we know about you the better our system can recommend vendors for you. These are NOT paid for by vendors who have officially joined Teleperson (those vendors will be visualized as “Sponsored Vendors”; find out about the benefits of the Recommended Vendor page here).
Other Vendors. These vendors will be vendors not included in My Vendors, Community Vendors or Trending Vendors.

Nope! You can add as many as you like!
The more vendors you add to your Vendor Hub, the less need you’ll ever have to suffer through a call tree! Even if you’re not an active consumer of those vendors, by having that vendor be part of your Vendor Hub, you will have an enhanced ability to engage with that vendor as well as other consumers of that vendor. Neat, huh? 🙂
Easy! We’ve added a toggle at the bottom of each vendor image to easily remove. In future versions, we’ll likely remove this but for our initial launch we wanted to emphasize the power of choice & control consumers have on the Teleperson platform.
Community
This means that you share at least one other vendor. In future versions of the platform, you will have the opportunity to choose the number of companies you share (for example, only show me people with whom I share 10 companies).
Of course, you can decide not to be included in other people’s communities by simply going ‘incognito’ in the settings page. This means you will be seen in the community page of fellow Teleperson members with whom you share at least one vendor
A messaging application is next up in our roadmap for early 2023. Through this chat capability, you’ll be able to message either individual members, entire consumers belonging to select vendors in your Vendor Hub, or with select groups (for example, on the “Healthy Eaters Unite!” channel).
Stay tuned for the roll-out of this feature later in 2023!
YouZack
With Teleperson’s YouZak, customers can choose to engage with various content, coupled by contextual recommendations (e.g., based on estimated wait time: 10-15 estimated wait time will lead to recommendations of media that fit that period, such as Ted talk or article). When the human representative is available to speak, the consumer will receive a pop-up alerting him to join the human representative. You can set various media to default through their Teleperson settings. Media accounts can be synced to provide further information with Teleperson and the system’s AI can recommend specific media from each account with the appropriate timeline. YouZak will provide integrations with multiple media outlets.
There are many!
1. Multi-format media hub. While waiting on the line, customers can enjoy a broad range of media, making the time feel like its flying by
2. Contextual media recommendation. Media is recommended by Teleperson based on the estimated wait time of the call itself
3. While-you-wait notifications of human rep activity. While customers enjoy their media, they receive continual updates on the estimated time and activity of the human representative
4. Extended product trial. Through YouZak, premium members will receive discounts on products together with extended trails of each product / service
5. Sync with existing subscriptions. Customers can sync their current media subscriptions with Teleperson app, creating a seamless experience both on and off the Teleperson app
6. Return to content post-call. When the call has completed, customers the option to return to media on the app or directly the media app
In our love for clever portmanteau’s, YouZak is a combination of “You” and “Muzak” (think, elevator music!), except YouZak will be your personalized media hub across all of the media you engage with, whether video, podcast, songs, radio, meditation apps, games, and more!
