    I would eliminate without a second thought any metric that encourages wrong behavior.
     
    AHT used as an "absolute goal"; agent pressured to be more agile; operation rewarding speed instead of resolution.
     
    This creates a giant cascade of effects:
     
    Agent interrupted customer;
    avoids investigation;
    quick transfer;
    ends early;
    forces poor self-service;
    creates recounts...etc.

    For me, CSAT is a very complex metric.

    Here in Brazil, I have seen many situations where CSAT is used to measure agent performance individually, but the customer often reaches the contact center already frustrated or angry because of a product or service issue.

    In those cases, no matter how well the agent handles the interaction, the CSAT score may still be low.

    That's why I believe CSAT should be used more as a company-level metric, not so heavily as an individual agent performance metric.

    Hi Andrea,

    For me, one pain point I'd love to eliminate is customers having to repeat information multiple times after transfers between teams or channels.

    Even with good routing and integrations, that still happens more often than anyone would like, and it impacts both the customer and agent experience immediately.

    I agree, few things hurt the customer and agent experience more than having a customer explain the same issue multiple times because the history, intent, previous steps, or channel context didn't carry over properly.

    Hey Andrea, 
    For me, it would be eliminating the need for customers to repeat their issue to multiple agents. Resolving everything in the first interaction would completely transform both the customer and agent experience.
