About SQM Group
Service Quality Measurement (SQM) Group is a specialist firm for assisting organizations in using voice of the customer (VoC) research data to measure and improve contact channel customer experience, operating costs and retention. Since 1996, SQM’s customer survey research and best practices consulting services have helped clients improve their contact center first contact resolution (FCR) and one contact resolution (OCR) performance. In fact, SQM enjoys a 95% retention rate with over 70% of our contact center tracking clients improving their contact channel FCR, OCR, and operating costs year over year. For the average contact center SQM benchmarks, a 1% improvement in their FCR performance equals $256,000 in annual operational savings. SQM benchmarks over 500 leading international contact centers on an annual basis in 15 countries around the globe.
SQM also benchmarks and tracks all the major contact channels (i.e., website, call center, IVR, email and site). Our site contact channels include branch, retail store, dispatching and service work. By conducting contact center benchmarking and tracking studies on these contact channels, organizations can get insights into customers’ experiences using these contact channels individually or using multiple contact channels, to get their inquiry resolved. For all the contact channel benchmarking and tracking studies, SQM focuses on the customer’s experience in achieving first contact resolution and one contact resolution. SQM annually conducts 1.5 million surveys with customers who have used a contact center, email, website, IVR or site contact channel service.
