Improving cost savings in a contact center

Whether you operate a call center or a full-service contact center, Communication Strategies can help reduce costs and improve overall contact center profitability.

In one example, let’s assume you have a call center consisting of 100 agents, with each handling 100 calls per day, or 10,000 total calls per day. If each agent could save just 10 seconds per call on average, that would represent over 1,600 minutes per day. Assuming 260 work days per year and an average loaded hourly cost of $25 per agent, simple math shows that the expected annual cost savings could exceed $180,000 a year!

So how can we assist to shave the seconds?
