Some of the most telling KPIs to monitor include: High Average Handling Time (AHT): Indicates that calls are taking too long to resolve, often due to inefficiencies or complex issues. Low FirstCallResolution (FCR): Suggests that customers frequently need to call back to resolve their issues, which is a clear sign of low productivity.
This requires moving beyond outdated metrics like call volume or average handle time and focusing on what really mattersfirst callresolution, customer satisfaction, and long-term trust. Beyond just addressing issues, AI helps agents upsell, cross-sell, and create memorable experiences that leave customers delighted.
Unlike inbound call centers where all incoming calls are being answered, outbound call centers are just the opposite. In outbound customer support, a call center agent will make calls to customers on behalf of its clients. However, to accomplish this goal, both call centers use various methods and technologies.
In this case, the inbound call center can be a game changer. More Room for Cross-Selling and Upselling Opportunities Cross-selling means selling related or supplementary products to customers. Upselling means selling higher-end variants of a product to customers.
Personalizing phone calls in a call center enhances efficiency and productivity by tailoring interactions to individual customer needs. It reduces call handling times as agents have relevant information readily available, minimizing the need for extensive probing.
During busy times when sales or support agents are having lengthy conversations, a predictive dialer will slow down making outbound calls until there are more agents available to accept calls. For sales reps working in a call center, making more calls allows them to generate qualified leads quickly and spend more time closing sales.
