Call Quality Monitoring Support Services

Make your customers see your business in a new & improved light after speaking to your call center executives by monitoring your call quality at rates starting at $8/hour

A superlative customer experience is essential to the success of any organization. We all know what defines a high-quality call - polite, professional, & understanding customer service representatives conversing with the customers and providing an acceptable, timely resolution to their problems. It all looks good theoretically. But how can you ensure the quality, efficiency, and effectiveness of your call center operations with respect to customer's expectations in the real-time?

The answer is 'Call Quality Monitoring'. It is the most effective approach to improving your customer service by keenly observing an agent's call and evaluating it across pre-defined KPIs keeping your customer's requirements in mind. Let's take a closer look into Flatworld's call monitoring services.

Our Call Quality Monitoring Support Services

FWS is a leading call quality monitoring support company and our call monitoring support services give you an overall picture of your customer service operations, by including KPIs to measure customer experience, agent experience, operational efficiency, & outbound dialer. We monitor the performance and efficiency of your call quality by benchmarking & tracking the following metrics to achieve better results. Our services include -

1. Customer Experience Metrics

   

   To check for any gaps in your customer interactions and learn if your customers are satisfied and willing to promote your offerings to their peers, we monitor and track the following metrics.

   1. Average Wait Time - This defines how long your customers must wait to reach one of your call center agents.

   2. Call SLA - Your customers need to spend less time waiting to speak to one of your call agents if the SLA is higher.

      Call SLA = What % of the calls are answered in X seconds

   3. Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) - CSAT measures how satisfied your customers are with your products/services. CSAT is generally measured by sending surveys after a ticket has been resolved following a phone call or live chat.

   4. Downtime - High downtime signifies poor service quality as it negatively affects customer interactions.

      Downtime = Minutes/hours your contact center software was down or unavailable

   5. First Call Resolution - High first contact resolution means that your agents were able to resolve customer queries at one go, without repeated interactions, which means happy customers.

      FCR = Number of customer issues resolved on the first call or interaction

   6. Net Promoter Score (NPS) - NPS surveys indicate the willingness of your customers to recommend your company/products/services to others.

   7. Self-Service Usage Channels - IVR is an example of a self-service channel. An intuitive & functional IVR that can help customers resolve their queries without engaging with an agent increases customer satisfaction greatly, as customers get faster results without having to spend too much time on the call.

2. Agent Experience Metrics

   

   Happy agents make happy customers, which is the foundation of ensuring optimum call quality. Therefore, it is imperative to define metrics to understand your agent engagement and find areas to improve agent experience. We achieve this by measuring the following KPIs.

   1. Agent Absenteeism - No agent, no customer service! So, it is understandable how important this metric is. It is the percentage of the number of days lost per year due to an agent's absence as supposed to the total number of contracted days.

   2. Schedule Adherence - This KPI tracks how often agents stick to their scheduled shifts, scripts, telephone etiquette, empathy, etc. So, lower schedule adherence means unhappy agents, or need of a better Workforce Management tool.

   3. Agent Attrition Rate - It measures how long agents stay in your company or how soon they leave your company. Contact centers spend a big portion of their revenue on agent training, therefore, reducing agent attrition rate is important to keep the costs in check.

   4. Call Center Shrinkage - It is a metric to measure the number of activities that prevent your agents from responding to customer service requests, which may be either a team meeting, company functions, or bathroom breaks, among others. Lower the call center shrinkage, higher the productivity.

3. Outbound Dialer Metrics

   

   Tracking the following metrics will ensure that your call center complies with regulations and achieves the desired business objectives. We track & monitor the following dialer metrics.

   1. Call Abandon Rate - Percentage of calls terminated between the IVR before an agent replies, is known as call abandonment rate. Simply put, it measures how often an agent is not available to take up a call when your outbound dialer connects. In case, the customer does not need to speak to a representative after getting his/her query gets resolved by the IVR, it will not be termed as call abandonment.

      Ideally, the abandon or abandonment rate for call centers should be below 3%, which signifies that the team is adequately staffed, call routing is optimized, and agents answer quickly.

      Abandonment rate = Number of abandoned calls / Total number of inbound calls

   2. Conversion Rate - The number of calls required to get a positive outcome is known as the conversion rate. The definition of conversion can be different for each company. Resolution of an issue, generating sales, filling out a form, downloading whitepaper, etc. are some examples of conversion.

   3. Calls Per Hour - The number of successful calls handled by your highest and lowest performing agents is tracked to define and analyze the overall efficiency of your call center operations. This metric defines how many calls are made or answered by your agents per hour.

4. Operational Efficiency Metrics

   

   Optimum resource utilization and keeping costs in check are essential to ensure the long-term viability of your call center operations. Operational efficiency metrics do just that - they help you understand how effectively your contact center resources are being utilized and if there is a scope to increase efficiency. We check the performance of your call center business operations based on the following KPIs and suggest solutions to improve its efficiency.

   1. Average Call Handle Time (AHT) - It is the total time spent by a customer to get a resolution or the total time a customer must spend on the call to get results. It includes wait time, hold time, call transfer time, after-call work, as well as the time spent with the agent on call until the issue is resolved.

      AHT = Total call duration + hold time + Transfer time / Total number of calls

   2. Average Talk Time - Most people confuse AHT with average talk time, as both metrics focus on the time spent by an agent/customer on a call. However, there is a key difference. Average talk time just determines the amount of time an agent talked to a customer and does not include the call hold/transfer/wait time or time spent on after-call work.

      Average Talk Time = Total Talk Time / Total number of calls Handled

   3. Call Wrap-Up Time or After-Call Work - After a call wraps up, an agent needs to document the call minutes or take notes related to the customer issue. This is known as call wrap-up time or after-call work. Higher after-call work signifies issues in CRM integration that need attention to ensure that the agents are available to handle calls faster.

   4. Cost Per Contact - As the name suggests, this KPI tracks how much cost each customer interaction is costing your call center.

   5. Service Level - Service level is one of the most important service quality performance metrics for a contact center as it measures how accessible a company is to its customers. It defines what percentage of the inbound calls are answered within the predetermined threshold time. This targeted threshold time does not include IVR flows or post greetings. Service level can be measured for any duration (minutes/hour/day/week) and each agent, department, team, or the entire company.

      Service Level = Calls answered within the threshold + Calls missed within the threshold / Total calls answered + Total calls missed

   6. Average Speed of Answer - Average time taken by agents to answer an inbound call is known as ASA and includes the time an agent's phone rings, excluding the time caller spent in queuing or IVR. Lower ASA signifies that customers reach the agents faster, resulting in higher customer satisfaction (CSAT), operational efficiency, and cost-efficiency. This metric indicates whether the agents lack the necessary setup and tools to reach performance levels expected of them or not, and if they need further training to improve performance.

      Average Speed of Answer (ASA) = Total time spent ringing / Total number of calls

   7. Forecast Accuracy - It is common for contact centers to experience seasonal spikes or drop in customer inquiries. This metric helps you to accurately forecast expected calls over a period allowing you to staff the required number of agents, ensuring optimum performance of your contact center.
