However otherwise, ive had many agents,, supervisors, and Global support agents refuse to change marketing carrier. If I call in and they're KL coded, they keep KL codes, if DL they keep DL.
As I think someone else mentioned, the proportion of marketing codes influences the revenue split slightly. It makes sense because if KL serviced 100 tickets and DL serviced 5, KL incurred more of a cost.
