Talk-to-listen ratio

How much of the conversation the agent spoke versus the customer.

A useful diagnostic, a terrible target. Very high agent talk time on a support call often means the customer never got to explain the problem; on a sales call it often means the pitch is being recited rather than adapted. But the "right" ratio differs by call type, and enforcing a number produces agents watching a meter instead of a customer.
