“How to Measure Voice Bot Success”

In this episode of the AI Voice Bot Podcast, host Dave—a veteran voice tech expert with over 20 years in the industry—dives into the surprisingly complex world of measuring voice bot performance. While voice bots handle over 2 billion customer interactions daily, most companies still don’t know whether their bots are truly helping or hurting the customer experience.

Dave explores key metrics that matter, including:

First Call Resolution (FCR) – Every time a customer has to repeat their issue, satisfaction drops by 15%. But bots that get it right on the first try can actually outperform human agents by up to 20% on routine tasks.
Token Usage – Think of tokens as the currency of AI. Efficient bots use 40% fewer tokens, making them faster and cheaper to operate.
Average Airtime – The ideal conversation length is 2-4 minutes. Longer calls tend to frustrate users and drop satisfaction levels.
Customer Preference – For simple tasks like balance checks or scheduling, customers prefer bots over humans by about 25%, thanks to their speed and consistency.
Escalation Rate – The best bots know their limits. Top performers escalate 15-20% of calls to humans. Bots that try to do everything see conversion rates drop by up to 45%.

The key takeaway? Voice bot success is all about balance—between automation and human support, between cost savings and customer experience. Companies that use these metrics to continually improve their bots can reduce operational costs by 30% while actually boosting satisfaction.

Dave wraps up with a reminder that voice bots aren’t just a tech tool — they’re part of the evolving customer service landscape. And getting them right starts with smart measurement and thoughtful design.
