Evaluate metrics like first-call resolution , customer satisfaction score, abandonment rate, and averagehandletime to measure performance, and compare them to your competitors. During peak call volume periods, make sure you don’t understaff as this leads to overwhelm for your agents and long waittimes for customers.
If you get this far, enter the dreaded waittime; “Your call is important to us. Your approximate waittime is 16 minutes.” If you speak too soon, you’ll hear; “I’m sorry, I didn’t understand that response, please try again.”. Please stay on the line and your call will be answered in the order in which it was received.
There are many other metrics such as AverageHandleTime (AHT), Schedule Adherence, Attrition, Cost per Contact, and AverageWaitTime (AWT). Kelli speaks at call center seminars around the globe to share her industry knowledge and insights with her peers.
