What are Call Center Statistics?

Call center statistics are important metrics that gauge a call center’s overall performance from a business standpoint. They can also be used to measure individual agent performance. Monitoring these statistics helps leadership make better business decisions moving forward. They also provide team leaders with the information they need to better support agents that have room for improvement. Business intelligence and analytics software gathers and organizes data from different sources within a call center to create statistical reports. There are different metrics that are monitored to create a call center statistics report. A few examples of these metrics are net profit, total revenue, agent turnover rates, losses, and more. Call center statistics like these can guide leadership towards potential issues. Agent turnover can be a big problem for call centers. By monitoring agent turnover statistics, call center leadership can ensure that their hiring and training procedures are functioning optimally.

Call center statistics also help team leaders pinpoint specific areas that an agent may be struggling with. A few statistics that team leaders may monitor include Average Handle Time, Talk Time, Total Inbound Calls Answered, Total Outbound Calls Made, Sales Numbers, and Transfer Rates. If an agent consistently produces below-average numbers, supervisors can provide the coaching needed for them to get back on track. Other statistics, such as customer sentiment scores, provide insight into what customers may be feeling about the service they receive or about a company’s new products or offerings. Powerful AI-driven speech analytic tools can transcribe what customers say over the phone and determine whether their speech is positive, negative, or neutral.

What is the productivity rate in a call center?

There is no universal productivity rate benchmark for call centers because different industries, organizational goals, and customer service policies dictate differing results. That said, call centers typically aim for a productivity rate of 70-80%, meaning an agent is engaged in active conversations or calls for 70-80% of their working time.

What is the response rate for call centers?

The response rate in call centers refers to the percentage of calls that are answered by an agent within a specific period. Response rates can vary depending on factors such as the industry, time of day, and region. Generally, response rates for call centers are expected to be between 80-90%, meaning 8-9 out of 10 calls are answered by an agent.
