Call Centre Metrics

Here’s a nice little source for ideas on how to measure telephone service:

http://www.the-cma.org/?WCE=C=47%7CK=227275

it explains 10 call centre metrics, amongst which:

Abandon Rate: the number of calls that hang-up before connecting to an agent. This number does not include those calls that receive a busy signal.

Calculation: Abandoned Calls / Total Incoming calls

Service Level: usually defined as the percentage of calls answered within a predetermined number of seconds.

Average Speed of Answer: (commonly referred to as ASA) is the average number of seconds it takes for a call to be answered.

First Call Resolution: measures the percentage of customer issued calls that are resolved the first time.

Calculation: Number of FCR calls / Total Number of Calls
