DQ PERFORMANCE INDEXSM

Are you a Directory
Enquiries (DQ) provider, a carrier, a DQ system supplier or a data aggregator?  If so, shouldn't you know:
How your DQ quality compares with that of your competitors?
How your DQ call quality is being affected by your speech recognition system?
What level of quality your DQ provider is giving your end user customers?  Or, who could  do a better job for you?
If DQ providers using your retrieval system are fulfilling more customer requests than those using other systems? AND
How your aggregated DQ data quality stacks up to that of other data aggregators?
Statistically significant, process-based, across-the-board quality results ARE available today for our industry.


These results can be used for quality benchmarking, marketing and competitive/ customer intelligence. 

Paisley 118 offers an industry-wide DQ quality perspective that is broad, meaningful (recognised by all and used by many) and based upon a definitive, DQ-specific quality measurement process.


 The Index provides the following quality metrics:
Customer FulfillmentSM which identifies how often customers receive a correct listing report and if they do not, whether the error was caused by listings missing or wrong in the database or because the agent made an error.
Customer CareSM which identifies how effectively agents are balancing customer advocacy and call-handling efficiency based upon such timeless DQ elements as acknowledging, listening, suggesting, questioning and identifying differences between the listing requested and the one being given.
Average operator work time which identifies "live" on-call agent time.

A "Special Topic" section which, in previous issues, discussed such timely DQ topics as:

  • LEC Data as the Gold StandardDQ Automation (3 views)Enhanced Services
  • Deregulation
 How are the audits done? 

Using the Customer FulfillmentSM and Customer CareSM measurement processes, Paisley 118 auditors place 300 "mystery shopping" test calls (via the public telephone network) to each company being measured using a test sample which is based upon a
real-life DQ call composite (correct percentage of residence, business, government, enhanced services, valid no-finds, etc.).  The listings are requested following scripts created from an accurate DQ customer composite (customer can/can't spell call details; customer requests listing in actual/nearby locality, etc.).  The sample is validated by calling the listing owner (business and government listings). Where reports match, the request is fulfilled; where discrepancies are found, all differing reports are verified with the listing owner.
