What is an SLA?

Call centers benefit greatly from Service Level Agreements (SLAs). SLAs are contractual agreements between a service provider and customer that define the level of service both parties should expect. Commonly measured metrics included in SLAs include response time, first call resolution rate, availability times, cost per transaction, and so on. By setting these guidelines in advance, call centers can monitor and adjust their operations to ensure they’re meeting these goals. This helps to keep customers happy and ensures businesses are delivering the highest quality of service possible.

Adopting an SLA for a call center also has several advantages for businesses. It enables the business to differentiate its services from competitors by providing higher quality standards, as well as allows them to create competitive pricing models based on levels of service offered. Additionally, it helps staff gain visibility into how their performance is influencing customer satisfaction rates. All things considered, implementing an SLA in the call center is essential for maintaining customer loyalty in today’s market.
