Revenue per agent

Revenue per agent measures how much money each seat on the floor brings in. Take the total sales value a campaign generated over a period and divide it by the number of agents who worked it. It is a quick way to judge whether a team is earning enough to justify its cost, and it gives owners a single per-head figure they can compare across campaigns, sites, and months.

The number is driven by three things: how many conversations each agent has, their Conversion rate and Close rate on those conversations, and the average value of each sale. Improve any one and revenue per agent rises. High Occupancy helps too, because idle time is seat time that earns nothing — an agent stuck waiting for the dialer to feed them a call is a fixed cost producing zero revenue in that minute.

Reading it in context

On its own, revenue per agent is only half a story. Pair it with Cost per acquisition and you see margin, not just sales: a team with high revenue per agent but a sky-high CPA may be spending most of what it earns just to earn it. Together the two tell you whether a campaign is genuinely profitable, which is the question that actually matters when you decide where to put more seats.

Break the figure down on the Agent performance report to find who earns most per shift, then study their habits — script delivery, objection handling, time management — and teach them across the team. Just be careful to compare agents on the same campaign and the same Lead list, since fresh leads and high-value products flatter the number on their own and can make an average agent look like a star. The same caution applies across time: a strong revenue-per-agent month on an unusually good batch of leads is not a baseline you can fairly hold the team to once those leads run out.
