What is Cold transfer?
A cold transfer (blind transfer) connects the caller to another person or line without briefing them first, so the next person picks up with no context.
What it means for your business
It is faster than a warm transfer but often makes callers repeat themselves. An AI agent can soften it by sending a short written summary to the person or CRM as it transfers.
