Whether you're on the "assisting" or "being assisted" end of customer service, you know how painful a three-and-a-half-hour live chat about a software glitch that takes an entire SWAT team of reps to figure out can be. Nobody has time for that.

Whether you've got an all-hands chat that never sleeps or project discussions that stretch across time zones, nobody has the time to hunt through endless threads to find what matters most. Or to realize that they tagged in the wrong @grace and you didn't need to read those 75 messages about that sales call after all (true story!).

After going through a special kind of misery sorting out a medical claim discrepancy—complete with tinny elevator hold music and templated email responses with placeholders mistakenly left in—I've had plenty of time to consider all the ways support teams can use their support software's built-in tools to improve their workflows.

Customer support is a tough job—and making sure your customers are taken care of without burning out your support team is even tougher. Whether it’s keeping the team on target, handing off customers to other teams, or just maintaining ticket hygiene, the tasks can quickly pile up and often lead to points of friction or wasted effort.

One of the things we were chatting about was how many first-time entrepreneurs have grown up digital natives so have a really good intuitive feel for technology & design but don’t yet have the business basics down.
