Customer Service Benchmarking Service
Delivering a great customer experience is proven to result in improved business outcomes such as higher customer retention, increased spending, and an increased Customer Lifetime Value (CLV).
And well-managed contact centres are also significantly more efficient to operate – with quicker calls, less customer call backs etc providing significant savings and less customer frustration, reducing the risk of negative customer sentiment and higher churn which, again, are desired business outcomes.
So it makes good commercial sense to ensure your business is providing a great experience via your contact centre operations, whether its via the phone channel, email or live chat.
In addition to our cost-effective fixed-price Contact Centre CX Benchmarking that compares your contact centre performance against a minimum of 5 of your peers for a fixed price, we also provide our Customer Service Benchmarking Service.
The ACXPA Customer Service Benchmarking Service provides a range of flexible services to help you assess the performance of your contact centre across phone calls, emails and live chat, as well as your competitors if required.
And perhaps even more critically, we also provide you with the expertise and resources to help you to improve your results, whether its to improve customer service, increase sales conversions, or both!

Reporting that really matters
With copious amounts of data captured during Quality Assessments and Customer Benchmarking, it can be quickly overwhelming trying to interpret complex dashboards and data sets that are not only often confusing, they add a considerable expense to the cost of the service.
With decades of experience running contact centres, we’ve refined our reporting to ensure we only provide you with the information that matters, in conjunction with actionable insights that can be used to improve the quality outcomes of your centre.
Each report includes:
- Your overall score and trends using the ACXPA Contact Centre Insights Score (ACCIS) Quality Insights Score (QIS) and Contact Centre Accessibility Score (CCAS) where relevant.
- Your performance against each of the five competencies and 18 specific call-handling behaviours.
- Your Top Five Priority Recommendations with insights, tips and examples on how to close the gap on your worst-performing metrics.
- Access to all your call recordings and scoresheets (includes notes on each individual call)
The reporting insights are designed to represent an individual, team or organisation’s performance in delivering premium sales and service experiences. The scores, insights and recommendations (i.e. the outputs of our program) are all geared to function and serve as the main input into your coaching & continuous improvement initiatives.
Quality Insights Workshops
In addition to our standard reporting that provides powerful insights and recommendations, you can also choose to receive a quarterly Quality Insights Workshop facilitated by the General Manager of our Quality Insights Programs, Simon Blair.
These workshops have proven invaluable for our clients to gain direct access to Simon to demystify the requirements for achieving the standards for specific call competencies and behaviours, and provide additional insights and explanations that are much easier to articulate and digest live, than by reading a report!
Additionally, senior stakeholders within your business (that you choose to invite) can use these workshops to assist in the process of developing the ideal strategy and tactics for both short and long-term continuous improvement in building internal capability and performance within the Contact Centre.
Training courses that deliver results
Having data is one thing, but it means nothing if you aren’t using the data and insights to improve your performance!
We provide a range of training courses that are designed and delivered by our General Manager of Benchmarking, Simon Blair, purpose-built to move the dial on your quality performance.
The training is directly aligned to the five core competencies and 18 call-handling behaviours that we use to assess performance and that are directly related to improved customer and business outcomes.
This enables you to invest in training with confidence that will result in a measurable improvement to your quality assessment scores across any metric you use to assess performance (i.e. NPS, CSAT, Sales Conversions etc).
The training is delivered via our key partner, CX Skills which has an average customer review score of 4.9/5.0 over the past four years and has provided training to over 170 Australian companies across sectors including Public Sector, Finance & Insurance, Transport & Travel, Healthcare & Community, Education, Retail, Business Services, Manufacturing & Utilities and lots more.

With our decades of experience, we can help remove the complexity for you and we’ve got a range of flexible options to enable you to purchase the service that provides the best outcomes for your business.
