27 A Reference Point: Benchmarking Service Level versus Cost Quartile Service Level** Quartile Cost* Lower Service, Lower Cost 1 Higher Service, Lower Cost 2 3 Lower Service, Higher Cost 4 Higher Service, Higher Cost Service Level is the single best measure of Contact Center Performance! Along with First Contact Resolution it is one of the best predictors of Customer Satisfaction as well There are many demographic influencers: customer demographics, wage rates, level or technology, regulatory drivers, but there are also process, customer, and business influencers that can be controlledquality, process integrity, staffing alignment with call flow, link to self-service strategy to name a few! *Note: Cost proxy was Contact Center Cost per Adjusted Customer (from FL5) **Note: Service Level proxy was Service level including abandoned calls using a 30 second target but without IVR calls: overall (CT45.2) 27
28 Cost Versus Service Level Comparison Quartile Quartile *Note: Estimated Service Levels for Co. 29 and 30 based on ASA data provided Companies 23, 26 and 35 did not provide Service Levels or Cost or both and are not included here A snapshot when comparing the quartiles of the two given data points provided Benchmarking in this manner is directional, but it may also be reflective of your companies stated or unstated strategy This comparison is only for illustrative purposes, but lets look at bit deeper at where some of the correlations to practices are.. 28
29 A Further Look at Service and the volumes we are handling ü Cost is up ü Service Levels are up What levels of volume are we handling and through what channels? What contact volume are we handling? What channels are being used? How often do our customers contact us? Why do our customers contact us? 29
30 TOTAL INBOUND CONTACTS BY CHANNEL PER ACCOUNT * COMMODITY There is very little change in the use of channel Total Inbound Contacts per Account * Commodity Q Q2 Q1 Mean YE 2011YE 2012YE 2013YE 2014YE Mean 5.15 Quartile Quartile 2: 5.64 Quartile 3: 6.88 The trend is flat, with a slight increase over last year CT Page 22 CT305 30
31 Addressing Transactions versus look-up (or Informational) Activities: What counts as a transaction In the past 3 years, 1QC have sought to better capture and address completed transactions versus what we are calling look-up activities: Transaction = customer executes an actual transaction with the utility- an inquiry, an order, a request for service, payment, account set-up, credit action etc. Look-up = customer accesses a self-service channel, typically IVR, Web, or Mobile, to view general information (General Info) about the company or view Customer Service information about their account (Get Acct Info) but does not transact or conduct a transaction, e.g. it is informational Activities that represented a look-up, should have been placed in General Company Information category or Get Info. These should go in either the Web, IVR, or Mobile category What should not have counted as a transaction (by transaction category): Simple Web hits where the customer may hit the web site (and you capture it) but there is no transaction or you (the company) don t know the reason for the activity Accessing the IVR but then opting out to a CSR or Agent before completing a transaction (the Agent live contact is a transaction, the initial IVR entry and opt-out is not); Customer hang-ups in the IVR (no transaction) 31
32 TRANSACTIONS PER ACCOUNT * COMMODITY (NOT INCLUDING GET ACCT AND GEN'L INFO FOR WEB, IVR, MOBILE) Slightly over one contact has been removed Inbound Transactions by Transaction Type per Account * Commodity (Not Including Get Acct and Gen'l Info for Web, IVR, Mobile) Q3 Mean 4.2 Quartile Quartile 2: 4.1 Quartile 3: Q2 Q1 Mean YE 2012YE 2013YE 2014YE There is a 2 transaction gap between Q1 and Q3 CT Page 30 CT305 32

35 Understanding our Live Contacts a Benchmarker s look at our progress Do you understand why (the key reasons) your customers are contacting you? Do you understand the volumes of these types of contacts? Do you understand your ability to effectively handle these contacts the first time done once, done right through the entire process (not only what happens in your Contact Center), and identify where the failure points are? Can you measure your effectiveness in delivering contact resolution, as well as where you have training processes/needs etc. Do you have an actionable process to communicate performance and results for the above in a manner that enables and measures improvement steps and outcomes? 35
36 INBOUND LIVE CALLS BY TYPE 3 contact types make up 41% of our contact volume even with high % of Other % Live Contacts Sign up for services, 1% Other, 23% Credit, 16% Provide , 1% Low Income, 2% Make payment, 6% Gen l Company Info, 3% Get Acct Info, 6% Outage, 8% New Cust/ COA, 13% Billing issue, 12% Blended, 8% CT Page 37 CT305 36

40 COUNTING TRANSACTIONS FOR PURPOSES OF MEASURING SELF-SERVICE What counts? Out of industry perspective says only contacts that are entirely completed should count Legends All contacts that go into the IVR Contacts that are entirely completed Customer opts out to any agent while in IVR Customer hangs up while in the IVR Customer completes an IVR transaction then selects to transfer to an agent Customer goes through and listens to all prompts information but does not authenticate and hangs up Customer goes through and listens to all prompts information and authenticates then hangs up before completing a transaction SS Page 7 SS9 40

45 areas of Focus and Opportunity Volume Do you understand the volume of inbound contacts and transactions (by type, segment, and channel) Do you understand what contacts are driving rework? Driving multiple live calls? Cost Are the costs you are incurring helping attain an improvement in your process to deliver service or simply chasing the service you want? Service Are your self-service efforts resulting in reduction in contacts, repeat contacts? Are you handling live contacts with consistent quality aimed at resolution and repeat volume reduction Are you handling contacts in the appropriate channel? 45
