Overview

Call Center Metrics, Analytics and Reporting training course introduces attendees to the scientific and mathematical practices underlying today's best run contact centers.

The discipline of performance management through metrics goes far beyond Erlang and traffic formulas, KPIs, and costing metrics that report acceptable or unacceptable results.  Contact center engineering is a process of constructing metrics that identify the causes of problems and generate solutions you can implement to change the results.  Attend this training course and learn how to use metrics to affect solutions for your call center or help desk.

Participants of this course will go back to work with practical, real-world knowledge of how to prepare information for effective contact center reporting.  You will not be overwhelmed with baffling rules, frustrating formulas, and confusing tables that may be useful only in theory.  Instead, you will discover the proper tools to use at the right time to achieve maximum benefit.

The course is taught by James Abbott, the industrial and service engineer who literally wrote the book on the subject: The Executive Guide to Call Center Metrics, the most widely read book on this topic.  Contact Center Metrics, Analytics and Reporting is like no other course you have ever attended.

"These classes have been the best, most applicable, I have attended since becoming a Call Center Manager." — Paula Mezo, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN

"The instructor gave great explanations and examples [of the formulas] to clarify how to apply them to a real-life situation. [He] taught the practical application of statistics, which I found very useful." — Stacey Love, The Hartford Insurance Group, Hartford Connecticut

"Outstanding class! I appreciated the quality of the materials and the instruction. I particularly valued the caliber of the instructor and his ability to answer questions and convey complex concepts. Going over examples and applying concepts specific to my business was helpful as well."

"When I first sought out classes on call center management and metrics, I thought that I needed to focus on theories and concepts... of course such an approach can become quickly outdated. The approach of this class, however, provided tools that will not become obsolete and will afford not only initial, but ongoing assessment of operations. I [see] the lasting value of [my] investment!" — Patricia Scott, Northside Hospital, Atlanta, Georgia

"Excellent! A good guide for me to know where to get started and how to go about it."—Laurie McIntyre, Hydro One Networks, INC. Toronto, Ontario
