Out of Hours Call Centre Contracts- SLA's
Good Morning All,
Interested in hearing your experiences on outsourced call centre contracts. Currently looking at renewing a call centre contract and with it implementing a number of SLA's that target the following area's:
-Abandonment rate
-Maximum wait time
-Average wait time
-MI report submission
To maximise value for money I'm looking to impose financial penalties where a provider goes below/above a pre-determined threshold. The penalties will be a percentage discount which would be applied to the following months invoice balance. The penalty amount would start from 1% and go all the way up to 10% for each measured area.
Would appreciate any views and successful experiences you've had with SLA penalties and what levels of penalty you've used.
Regards
Josh Chiplin
