Insights Response Time
Technical overview of customer service metric tracking and performance evaluation methodologies, exploring how response times and satisfaction measurements are calculated across different communication channels and support teams.
When tracking performance metrics, understanding how response times are calculated is crucial for accurate performance evaluation.
Response time tracking follows specific rules:
- Initial ticket creation triggers the initial time tracking
- If a ticket is reassigned between advisors or teams, the metrics will transfer to the assigned advisor or team
The following forms of response from the advisor triggers an immediate response value:
- Answering inbound calls
- Placing an outbound call
- Text messages
Key metric assignment principles include:
- Metrics will remain associated with the last team/advisor who handled the ticket
- Ex. Advisor A responded to a ticket in under 60 seconds. The ticket is handled and closed but then reassigned to Advisor B. Advisor B will be associated to the ticket metrics and Advisor A will not.
