Call Center KPIs

Improve call center KPIs with conversation analytics

The CallMiner Eureka conversation analytics platform enables greater context center efficiency by analyzing 100% of interactions to support real-time coaching and drive business improvement.

Call center KPIs help drive continuous improvement

Your contact center is the heart of your relationships with customers. Optimizing the performance of agents is key to delivering exceptional customer experiences – and to driving efficiency, productivity, and profitability.

Measuring and monitoring call center KPIs – and taking action to improve them – is essential to achieving your performance goals. However, extracting meaningful measurements from thousands or millions of hours of contact center calls is an enormous task. Conversation analytics provides a highly efficient and automated solution that can capture and analyze 100% of conversations rather than sampling to provide the fullest possible measure of call center performance metrics and agent performance.

The CallMiner Eureka conversation analytics platform provides all the tools you need to analyze conversations, track call center KPIs, and support real-time coaching that drives productivity and improvement to agent performance.

How conversation analytics can optimize performance

Conversation analytics takes the unstructured information trapped in phone calls, texts, emails, and social media streams and turns it into structured data that can be searched and analyzed. By analyzing 100% of conversations between customers and agents, analytics delivers greater insight into customer and agent behavior and sentiment while tracking a wide range of KPIs. It enables managers to validate information, identify patterns, find root causes for performance problems, and develop action plans for improvement.

Conversation analytics also enables automated in-call decision support and next-best-action guidance, optimizing each agent interaction and improving call center KPIs. Customer service analytics can help to improve First Call Resolution (FCR) by identifying the reasons for repeat calls. Analytics can also help to improve Average Handle Time (AHT) by uncovering the topics and agents with the longest handle times and identifying specific issues that cause longer AHT. With this data, you can enhance agent training, optimize call routing, and monitor agent performance to drive improvements to handle time.

Frequently asked questions.

Call center Key Performance Indicators, or KPIs, are metrics that evaluate the performance and efficiency of contact centers. Organizations may track call center KPIs for individual agents, groups, and the contact center as a whole. By continuously tracking KPIs, call center supervisors can better monitor performance and take proactive steps to improve it.


While the most important KPIs vary from one call center to the next, certain metrics are common to most contact center operations. First Call Resolution (FCR) is a KPI that determines the percentage of customer issues that can be resolved on first contact, which is one of the most important drivers of customer satisfaction and loyalty. Average Handle Time (AHT) measures the amount of time that agents engage with customers – a lower AHT score indicates greater contact center efficiency. Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) tracks how satisfied customers are with their interaction with a brand and its contact center, providing a strong indicator of customer loyalty.


Conversation analytics is a technology for capturing and analyzing interactions with customers across multiple channels, including phone, chat, social, email, web, SMS, and surveys. Conversation analytics uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to convert the unstructured data in conversations into structured information for analysis. Through conversation analytics, organizations can determine the meaning of a speaker’s words and the emotion in their voice, revealing insight into the mindset of customers and enabling companies to improve experiences throughout the buying journey.
