There is...one measurement is "talk time" the other is "revenue per call"....typically in most travel call centers the person with the highest revenue per call and lowest talk time is considered superior but thankfully Chisholm has always been taught customer service is more important than either of these two measurements (which I suspect is one reason every elite call was offered the opportunity to rate the agent)
