    I’ve worked in customer service software companies for the last 30 years, and one thing I can tell you is that average handle time is not a good metric to decide your success or failure on.

    Having a low average handle time is easy. Just hang up on the customer. Or show them quickly that you won’t do shit for them so that they hang up on you.

    How about showing us those customer satisfaction and first call resolution scores?
