World class call center management “ The art of having the right number of agents in their seats, at the right times, accurately answering a correctly forecasted call load at the appropriate service level and at the lowest possible cost while delighting the majority of callers.’’

Call Center Metrics Internal Metrics External Metrics You get What You Measure

Internal Metrics Measuring the Heartbeat of the Call Center

Automatic Call Directory Call frequency. Caller tolerance ) acceptance ( for waiting in the queue. Telephone activity by agent.

Integrated Voice Response Unit Who is calling the call center. What are they calling about. What did they access to get what they wanted.

Voice Network Services Who is Calling the call center. What are they calling about. Did they get through to the call center.

Data Network Services What telecommunications equipment is in use. What telecommunications Equipment is out of service. What software databases are being accessed.

Line Monitoring Devices What was discussed? How well it discussed? When was it discussed?

Data Terminal Monitoring Devices What software was accessed? When was it accessed? How was it accessed?

Adherence Monitoring Devices Which agents are logged on? Are they working on telephone calls? Are they working as planned?

Computer Assisted Telephone Surveys Was the caller satisfied with the call experience? Would the caller recommend the call center to others? Did the call center build loyalty?

Adherence Definition of Metrics Measurement of agents in their seats as scheduled. Adherence is calculated as a percentage equal to (actual time a TSR is logged into the system ready to answer the telephone) divided by the total time the TSR is scheduled to be ready to answer the telephone) times 100

Adherence Data Capture and Reporting The data for the percent adherence is taken from the ACD and should be reported on daily and tracked both weekly and monthly Suggested Goal for Metric Best Practices dictate that individual agent adherence should be 92% or better

After Call Work Time (Wrap-up Time) Definition of Metrics This is the time after a call is completed that the TSR needs to complete administrative work related to the call

After Call Work Time (Wrap-up Time) Data Capture and Reporting Wrap-up times by call center overall Very helpful and they are available from the ACD. This metric should be tabulated by group and individual daily, weekly, and monthly. Appropriate comparisons to past trends should be made graphically . Suggested Goal for Metric The average for wrap-up time is 60 seconds . We suggest a goal from 30 to 60 seconds.

Average Abandonment Time Definition of Metric This is the average in seconds a caller waited before abandoning a call. Unless there is a specific industry need tracking

Average Abandonment Time Data Capture and Reporting This is gathered by ACD and should be reported daily and weekly Suggested Goal for Metric Across industries the average for this metric is 60 seconds. We suggest a target range of 20 to 60 seconds

Average Handle Time (AHT) Definition of Metric ( AHT) The sum of talk time and after call work time Data Capture and Reporting AHT is provided by the ACD. It should be run daily and investigated weekly and monthly. There should be an AHT report formatted by call center.

Average Handle Time (AHT) Suggested Goal for Metric The AHT goal would depend on call center type. We suggest targeting the average between 3 and 10 minutes (+) or (–) 15%. It’s probably best if you can develop a range based on call types and shifts. By Creating a range that is acceptable you avoid the single number target issue

Reducing handle time using the stoplight method Stoplight Color Call volume Process Green Normal call volume Normal call process including marketing programs Yellow Long queue / peak periods Accelerated call process with reduced or no marketing, reduced or no tracking or data collection Red Call overload / Emergency New revised call process

Reduce talk time and after call work time

Average Hold Time Definition of Metric Is the average number of seconds that a TSR places customers on hold. Data Capture and Reporting The ACD can report the hold time by TSR and give an average number of seconds. This metric should be reported daily, weekly, and monthly.

Average Hold Time Suggested Goal for Metric Across industries hold time average 60 seconds. We suggest targeting hold time between 20 and 60 seconds.

Average Number of rings Definition of Metric This is the average number of rings the customer hears before the call is answered by the system whether by a TSR or IVR.

Average Number of rings Data Capture and Reporting This data is gathered by the ACD. Reporting should be daily Suggested Goal for Metric Across industries, the average number of rings is 2 or 3, We suggest targeting the numbers of rings between 2 to 4

Average Queue Time Definition of Metric The average number of seconds the caller spends waiting for TSR to answer telephone after being placed in the queue by the ACD

Average Queue Time Data Capture and Reporting The ACD can give data by application or call type for all calls for the center. It can be posted daily, weekly, and monthly for all call center employees to see. Suggested Goal for Metric Across industries the queue times average 150 seconds. We suggest targeting queue times to between 30 seconds and 90 seconds.

Average Speed of Answers Definition of Metric The equal to the total time in queue divided by the to the total number of calls answered.

Average Speed of Answers Data Capture and Reporting Available directly from the ACD and should be reported in half hour increments (increase ) and plotted (plan ) for trend detection. Suggested Goal for Metric This metric called ASA and it’s targeted to be less than 20 seconds.

Average Talk Time Definition of Metric Total number of seconds the caller was connected to the TSR Data Capture and Reporting Talk time is gathered and reported by the ACD and should be assessed weekly and monthly .its helpful for management as a tool.

Average Talk Time Suggested Goal for Metric Across industries, talk time average 330 seconds. For technical support calls, this can be 6-10 minutes. We suggest targeting talk time between 270 and 360 seconds.

Monitoring Scores Definition of Metric The result of qualitative grading of TSR calls by quality assurance specialists.

Monitoring Scores Data Capture and Reporting Monitoring scores do not have one common measurement system, It is recommended that agents be monitored four to five times per month. Suggested Goal for Metric A general goal is not applicable for this metric.

Employee perception of monitoring

Service Level Definition of Metric The formula for service level is = (calls answered on less than X seconds) / offered calls times 100.

Service Level Data Capture and Reporting The data to calculate service levels is readily available from the ACD. Service levels should be monitored on a continuous basis since this is leading indicator of problems. Suggested Goal for Metric The goal through industries is 80% of the calls answered in 20 seconds.

External Metrics Measuring the Heartbeat of the Caller

Definition of External metrics This are usually characterized as soft” numbers as they are the collected attitudes, opinions, and emotions of customers or other interested parties. The data may be collected by surveys.
