Average Speed of Answer (ASA) This metric measures the time it takes for an agent to answer an incoming call. In the call center industry, the standard time to answer is 20 seconds or less. A lower ASA improves the contact center experience by reducing waittimes.
Reducing Operational Costs Higher customer satisfaction and better agent productivity both lead to fewer and shorter calls: Happy customers dont call in with problems as frequently and productive agents can process more calls per shiftso you trim operational costs without lifting a finger! But which is it?
Unusual Call Volume Peaks: Sudden surges in contact volume without corresponding seasonal drivers could point to underlying process errors or inadequate resources. For example, spikes in call volume related to billing queries could indicate unclear invoicing processes.
Workforce planners: These specialists forecast call volume and customer demand, and optimize agent scheduling to ensure adequate staffing levels and minimize customer waittimes. Enable real-time insights and responses Workforce planning doesnt end with the creation of the schedule.
Reporting on a NetPromoterScore (NPS) month after month that doesn’t vary too dramatically can create a sense of complacency. For example, share a good or not-so-good real customer story, a customer callrecording, or a social media example. But after a while, those numbers become less compelling.
