What are the newest KPIs for call center performance metrics?

These are very interesting KPIs. However, I believe we should also measure average waiting time of customers as a KPI. One major pain point customers face when calling call centers is the waiting time. You keeping waiting on the phone listening to some autogenerated voice messages and background music. Customer Waiting Time score (CWT) should be introduced to enable us measure waiting time and also find root cause to reduce long waiting time. When customers are delayed while waiting on the call, there is a high tendency for them to be impatient with Call Centre Agents. This will also help to achieve a higher ASAT.

Newer call center KPIs focus on customer experience and employee engagement, including Customer Effort Score (CES), First Contact Resolution (FCR), Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) by Channel, Net Promoter Score (NPS), Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS), Quality of Interaction (QoI), Adherence to Schedule, Average Speed of Answer (ASA), Service Level Agreement (SLA) Attainment, Agent Satisfaction, Customer Retention Rate, and Sentiment Analysis. Tailor metrics to align with specific goals for a comprehensive performance view.

As a customer, I like this score because it encompasses the entire call process in score. The score gives you a metric of the customers feel after interaction. Conversely, it may reflect low in the call center representative, but only because of the effort leading into their actual participation in the call.

The Customer Effort Score (CES) measures the performance of the call center in terms of how easy or difficult it was for customers to get their issues resolved by the call center agents. A Low CES score is a good reputation to your company than a high CES score.

Os mais recentes para métricas de call center s?o taxa de resolu??o no primeiro contato (FCR), que mensura a eficiência em solucionar quest?es durante a primeira intera??o; tempo médio de espera (TME) para avaliar a agilidade no atendimento ao cliente; e Net Promoter Score (NPS), que mede a satisfa??o do cliente. Além disso, a taxa de abandono de chamadas e o índice de satisfa??o para avaliar a eficácia do servi?o e a experiência global do cliente.

FCR helps in reducing operational costs for call centers. Resolving issues on the first call eliminates the need for customers to make repeat calls, thereby reducing call volume and associated expenses. Also when customers have their issues resolved promptly, they are more likely to remain loyal to the company and continue using its products or services. High FCR rates contribute to increased customer retention and reduced turn offs.

As a business, FCR is an absolutely great metric to use when looking for expansion in your market. One call and done is what customers want to see.

FCR saves time and resources as a customer doesn't need to make follow-up calls over the same issue as low FCR means that your agents are wasting time and resources on repeated calls and transfers and creating dissatisfaction.

A high FCR does indicate effective and efficient problem solving. However, it is important to understand that a low FCR does not necessarily indicate an agent wasting time or resources. Call center reps on average handle a lot of calls and have very limited breaks in between. If they are not provided with updated information and training on a continuous basis there can be a lag or inconsistency in the responsiveness of the agent which will reflect a low score. Weekly meetings and regular trainings give agents a chance to breathe in new information, ask questions and share information needed to keep staff elevated and on the same playing field. Mock testing in these meetings is a great way to assess the knowledge level of your team as well.

A First Contact Resolution, is where a CSR resolves a customers complaint or query first time without the need for any follow up calls. This also enables a better customer experience. Calls should be resolved in an adequate time by using call control, to not go over the specified KPI for call length.

Here's five ways NPS can be useful to any type of IT company: Customer Retention: By identifying detractors through NPS, IT companies can take corrective actions to improve their experience, thereby increasing customer retention. Product Development: NPS feedback can provide insights into product features that customers value, guiding the product development process. Service Improvement: NPS can highlight areas in customer service that need improvement, such as response time or issue resolution. Benchmarking: IT companies can use NPS to benchmark their performance against competitors and strive for improvement. Business Growth: A high NPS score can lead to more referrals, helping the business to grow organically.

NPS diz muito sobre onde seu negócio esta inserido, trará visibilidade para sua marca. é importante termos uma equipe de servi?o ao cliente e sucesso do cliente bem preparada para conseguirmos bons indicadores.

Hey all! Just started as a fractional CMO and we're shaking up call center KPIs. We're starting to hone in on improving Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) for real-time feedback, and First Contact Resolution (FCR) is key – because who loves calling back? Agent Occupancy and Average Handling Time (AHT) are on our radar too, balancing efficiency with quality. And of course, Net Promoter Score (NPS) to see if customers would recommend us. It's all about making every call matter and keeping our customer service on point!

Customer Lifetime Value (CLV), which is a metric that represents the total revenue a business expects to earn from a customer throughout their entire relationship. CLV considers factors such as the customer's purchase frequency, average transaction value, and the duration of the customer's relationship with the business. It's a crucial metric for assessing the long-term profitability of customer relationships and guiding strategic decisions.

ASAT is just a tip of an iceberg. And simple system of scoring agent/employee satisfaction is not good enough. We have to think about many other variables that contribute to the general level of satisfaction such as: - motivation - being appreciated and recognised - space for development & growth - inclusive environment - team spirit & collaboration - support of colleagues and leadership - work-life balance Shift might be needed from simple Agent Satisfaction to creating Employee Experience (EX).

ASAT is an incredibly valuable KPI for measuring fiscal business success. Employees who do not feel well respected, well-supported or adequately paid for their role cannot be an asset to their company and in turn may even become a financial liability due to health problems turnover and lack of engagement.

Der Fokus auf die Zufriedenheit und das Engagement der Agenten ist von gro?er Bedeutung, da sie ma?geblich zur Qualit?t des Kundenservices beitragen. Ein hoher ASAT-Wert spiegelt wider, dass die Agenten motiviert und engagiert sind, ihre Aufgaben nicht nur zu erfüllen, sondern auch einen exzellenten Kundenservice zu bieten. Dies deutet darauf hin, dass sie nicht nur ihre Aufgaben erledigen, sondern auch bestrebt sind, ihre F?higkeiten zu verbessern. Auf der anderen Seite warnt ein niedriger ASAT-Wert vor potenziellen Problemen. Insgesamt betrachtet halte ich die Einführung des Zufriedenheitswerts der Agenten für eine fortschrittliche und notwendige Entwicklung im Bereich der Callcenter-Leistungskennzahlen.

é claro que o CLV dá diretriz ao nosso negócio, pois um indicador desse baixo mostra que seu produto n?o é um bom produto para o cliente. Estudos de casos normalmente contém um indicador desse alto, pois s?o rentáveis a partir que contratam seu produto.

Big fan of the addition of CLV here - it's something we talk about all the time and have tried for years to get more focus on with our clients - perhaps having it in the broader conversation more will give it some additional oompf - thank you!

I find it interesting that this article uses the term "newest KPIs". Nothing here is new. This is an interesting challenge in CX. While there are sometimes new metrics like the Net Trust Metric, the measurements we've used for decades still add a ton of value to most organizations. But here's the rub...most organizations don't really consider the purpose of their measurement. Additionally, so many don't use these metrics for the right purpose either. It is more important to ask the question, "why are we measuring?" The biggest consideration of that question is whether you are focused on measuring the customer experience, or trying to measure agent success. It is extremely hard to do both effectively. Your KPIs need to match that purpose.

Average call handling time AHT is an important part of call center metrics as it gives you a view of how many calls on an average answered by 1 cc agent, basis that if there is a forecast of call volume it will help to understand how many resources will require to fulfil the forecasted call volume. Same way if there is a difference in volume due to weekends or festivals, you can optimize resources by understanding how many agents will require to cater that less or incremented volume

Like any KPI's, these metrics should be used to gather insights and then take action. And some organizational cultures use metrics as punishment instead of education. Why did we get that result and what should we do about it? Those are the key questions to ask.

While traditional KPIs like CES, NPS, FCR, CLS, and ASAT are staples, consider these evolving metrics: Customer Emotion Score (CESc): Gauges the emotional impact of service interactions, crucial for loyalty and advocacy. Proactive Contact Rate: Measures proactive communications from the call center, reflecting a shift towards anticipatory customer service. Cross-channel Efficiency: Assesses the effectiveness of integrating multiple service channels for a seamless customer experience. Employee Empowerment Score: Evaluates how empowered agents feel to make customer-centric decisions, key for effective service. Predictive Resolution Time: Uses AI to forecast query resolution times, optimizing resource allocation and customer expectations.

Employee Satisfaction (ESAT): Gauge the satisfaction of call center agents, as happy employees often contribute to better customer experiences. Tailor these KPIs to align with your call center's specific goals and objectives for a comprehensive performance evaluation.
