If I wanted to just boost my call duration numbers, I'd just put the customer on hold and go grab a snack. Active listening is about being present and understanding the customer, not gaming the metrics.
Active listening is definitely a great practice. It shows the customer you're really paying attention and trying to understand their needs. Option C is the most relevant answer in my opinion.
Haha, 'deferring to the caller'? I think that's code for 'letting the customer walk all over you'. Active listening is about being engaged, not being a pushover.
I'm not sure about the 'average call duration time' thing. That sounds like it could encourage longer calls, which might not be the best for customer satisfaction.
