What Is A Service Level?  

A service level refers to the services provided to a customer within a certain period. Service levels are categorized and measured to track performance. In a call center, service level refers to the percentage of calls answered within a specific time frame.  

 

Impacts of Contact Center Service Level 

The service level, or SLA, provides important information about a contact center’s performance, such as:  

  • Percentage of calls answered within a certain time reveals data about efficiency, agent responsiveness, and performance 

  • Low service levels may indicate long wait times, poor customer experience, and technology or training gaps 

  • High service levels may indicate efficient automation, minimal wait times, and customer satisfaction
