Call Abandonment Rate
The percentage of inbound calls that are terminated by the caller before reaching a customer service representative. This metric is important for understanding customer patience and the effectiveness of the call center’s queue management.
Calculation Example:
Total Abandoned Calls: 50
Total Inbound Calls: 1000
Call Abandonment Rate: (50 / 1000) * 100 = 5%
