Service LevelSLThe percentage of inbound calls answered within a target time threshold (default: 20 seconds). For example, an 80/20 service level means 80% of calls are answered within 20 seconds.
Abandonment RateThe percentage of inbound calls where the caller hung up before reaching an agent.
First Call ResolutionFCRThe percentage of calls where the customer's issue was resolved without requiring a follow-up call. Requires disposition tagging.
Talk TimeThe duration of actual conversation between the agent and the caller, excluding hold and wrap time.
Hold TimeThe total time the caller was placed on hold during the call.
Wrap TimeThe time an agent spends on after-call work (notes, disposition, CRM updates) before marking themselves available again.
Missed Call RateThe percentage of calls routed to an agent or queue that went unanswered.
Ring TimeThe duration the phone rang before the agent answered or the call was missed.

How Metrics Are Calculated

  • All time-based metrics (AHT, ASA, talk time) are calculated as arithmetic means unless stated otherwise.
  • Percentages (service level, abandonment rate, missed call rate) are calculated as the count of qualifying events divided by total events.
  • Date range filters apply to the call start time, not the call end time.
