• Revenue, AUM, Pipeline, MQLs, Leads: How much of these metrics were generated by the customer service team? Which engagement channels seem to be the best lead or revenue generators?
• Share of Wallet: Have you been able to identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities with existing customers using the digital omnichannel solution?
• Customer Churn: Has your customer churn rate reduced? Are customers who engage with you on one or more channel at a lower risk of churning?

Handle times might also differ across channels, such as live chat vs. video chat. Ask yourself: Has your handle time gone down? And how does that relate to customer satisfaction?
• Time in Motion: Ask yourself: Has the amount of time your customers spend getting transferred increased or decreased? With intelligent routing, you can expect your time in motion to
