20% of your agents produce 80% of your revenue.
You’re not sure why, and not sure how to figure it out, so you’ve just accepted it.
But it’s not ideal, is it?
Historically, consumer finance teams have evaluated representative performance based on objective, easily measurable KPIs like:
Those are all useful metrics to evaluate performance that do often correlate with achievement.
But none of them tells you what you really need to know, which is exactly how agents are achieving those outcomes.
What, exactly, do representatives do and say that drive payments? Or customer retention? Or high scores? Or first-call resolutions?
Are there specific phrases top agents use that boost customer satisfaction?
Is it empathy or flexibility that increases payment rates?
We talked about some of these connections in our payments correlation report. Because Prodigal has analyzed over 300 million consumer finance calls, we can see patterns that pay off (both literally and figuratively).
And there’s so much more to uncover. What you need is the ability to pinpoint the actions behind the KPIs so you can help your entire team level up to the top performers.

But you have a chance to do better so your team can do better.
What you need is the ability to extract detailed information from your customer interactions. But in order to do that, you need something that can understand not just the basic words in the conversations, but the full context, including customer and agent sentiment.
