What is call volume?

Are you wondering what the call volume is? In telecommunications, “call volume” is the total number of minutes you spend answering calls within a given time period. 

Most answering services and call centers tend to bill their customers on a monthly basis. If an answering service administers their billing cycle differently, then your call volume must be calculated accordingly.

How to determine call volume:

How many calls does your office or business receive on average? Say, within a day? Study your call volume closely and you’ll be able to determine how many minutes you spend every day, week, month and even year. 

Choose a specific time period for observation depending on the nature of your business and customer call traffic. It’s important to record your call minutes over a sufficient period of time. You will always have busy and quiet periods, so it’s important to get a good scope of your overall usage.

Why call volume is important?

Tracking your call volume is good practice. Knowing how much time you spend on the phone to engage callers helps you see patterns and trends that impact your customer service goals. For instance, 6 out of 10 calls to a business go unanswered. If you see such a trend in your phone call records, you will know where the leak is coming from. By identifying and resolving customer call problems, you can extend  your opportunities for growth.
