Call Rates

Post by shepherdess »

Can the call rate be changed? I was speaking to the planner and i dont agree in the call rate of 81%. I believe it is quite higher

The call rate can be changed to whatever figure produces the required number of duties to match the budget cuts

88% is the current standard at my D.O

I can see RML going for a lower figure when we have our big revision. :hmmmm

Conduct your own call rate analysis over a week or two for your walk, noting down each delivery point thta gets no mail on any given day. You then have something "concrete" to show their estimates are way off the mark!
