The Companies metric refers to the number of organizations or businesses that have contacted your customer support for any type of assistance within a specific period of time.
In essence, it measures the unique entities that have sought help from your support team, regardless of which channel they reached out through.
This metric encompasses data such as tickets raised, average support response time, customer satisfaction, the number of reps assigned to a company, and more.
By tracking it, you get insight into which companies interact with support teams the most, their needs, and what issues they’re facing, which allows you to fine-tune your support team’s overall approach.
To calculate the companies metric, you need to determine the total number of unique organizations or businesses that have interacted with the help desk during a specific time frame.
Keep in mind that this metric is not based on the total number of interactions or tickets but rather on the number of unique entities seeking support.
The formula is straightforward:
Companies Metric = Count of unique companies or organizations that interacted with the help desk
Let’s say a business wants to calculate its companies metric for one month and has seen these interactions during the period:
To calculate companies for this month, we need to count the unique companies. In this case, the unique companies are A, B, C, and D. Company A appeared twice in the interactions, but we only count it once since we are interested in unique entities only.
When we use the formula above, we find that the companies metric equals 4, meaning four different organizations sought help from the help desk.
If the number of unique businesses you have reaching out to is increasing, it indicates an expanding customer base and that your customer support team needs to be ready.
Ideally, your help desk should be able to meet the diverse needs of various businesses while maintaining high levels of customer satisfaction.
Let’s explore some effective support strategies to help you improve the companies metric and boost your help desk’s performance.
