In India a missed call is not a lost lead — it is a conversation that should continue on WhatsApp. How to pair voice with messaging into one outbound workflow.
Average handle time, connect rate, abandon rate, occupancy — what "good" looks like for an Indian contact centre, and how to actually move the numbers.
