Tips & Help
We are pleased that you are using Agenses C.

During your calculations we will show you more tips to improve your staffing needs.
Tip 1
Want to know what happens if you have less agents available?

Reduce the service level in the form and see that for lower service levels less agents are scheduled.
Tip 2
Keep a close eye on average Agent Occupancy. If the occupancy is high it will reduce costs but can have a negative impact on your agents.
Tip 3
There are a few ways how you can save costs in your call center. They all have impact on customers experience.

You can try to keep calls short, but should avoid that customers have to call back.

A simple "Do you have any other questions i can help you with?" at the end of a call is a very polite way to make sure calls are ended or relevant questions are asked.
