Agent performance

Hi, I’m Conviner, your call center terminology assistant. Today, let’s learn about agent performance.

“An efficient coaching program can increase agent performance up to 30% in the long run.” - McKinsey

Why Agent Performance is Crucial for Your Contact Center’s Success

• Agent performance impacts the efficiency of customer interactions.
• Directly tied to customer satisfaction and business growth.
• Key to reducing operational costs and improving the customer experience.

Essential Metrics to Track Agent Performance

Track these key metrics to assess and improve agent performance:

• Conversion Rates: Measures how often an agent successfully turns a lead or inquiry into a sale or resolution.
• Call Handling Time (AHT): An agent's average time on a call; shorter times with quality outcomes are ideal.
• Customer Satisfaction (CSAT): Customer feedback indicates how well agents meet customer expectations.
• First Call Resolution (FCR): This tracking system determines whether an agent resolves a customer issue on the first call, reducing follow-ups and improving satisfaction.

What is an Agent Performance Report?

• A detailed document tracking agent metrics over time.
• Includes data like call volume, AHT, CSAT scores, and more.
• It helps managers identify strengths, weaknesses, and coaching opportunities.

Key Strategies to Improve Agent Performance

Continuous Coaching and Training

• Leverage automated coaching systems for personalized feedback based on real-time performance data. 
• Ongoing training sessions boost skills, reduce errors, and improve customer interactions.

Leveraging Peer-to-Peer Learning

• Use peer-to-peer coaching to let top agents share best practices. 
• Incorporate high-performing agent conversations into training modules for others.
