The percentage of calls that were abandoned by a caller after being placed in the Automatic Call Distribution queue and before being answered by a live organization representative. Abandonment rate is NOT measured as the percentage of calls that disconnect after 30 seconds when an individual (live person) would have answered the call. Calls are still considered abandoned if the caller leaves a voice mail message or accepts a call-back.
