Initial Contact reflects each person who has contacted Entrypoint Perth within each individual month, and excludes repeat contacts made by the same individual, unless the repeated contact was made in a different month. Initial Contact includes phone calls, online enquiries, message bank, in person contact, formal referral, and third-party contacts.
Telephone calls includes all answered calls, and excludes calls that went to voicemail, abandoned calls, or out of hours calls.
Following an upgrade to the Entrypoint telephone system, details of the number of calls received by Entrypoint are now available from October 2019. This data was not previously available.
Any Initial Contact may generate several phone calls to liaise with and update the client and coordinate supports with third party services.
