Will your support team work from a central location or virtually?

If you find yourself in the position of needing to expand your support team, one important factor will be whether you want your agents to work from a central location or a dispersed workforce.

Freshdesk+Freshconnect: Support Customers as a Team with Better Context

Providing good customer support is a team game. Large or small, established enterprise or scrappy startup, support agents need to collaborate and work together to get answers. For example, customers often contact e-commerce vendors to check where their packages are. Support agents do not always have enough context to get this answer immediately. These agents check with their Inventory team to see what was ordered by the customer.

The Lesser Known Benefits of a Customer Support Software

When it comes to the customer service industry, one of the most useful tools a support agent can have at their fingertips is a good customer service software. Now, the most obvious reason for this is how a helpdesk software improves an agent’s efficiency. This is because the software organizes the tickets an agent receives and expedites the response process. One of the most obvious advantages gained by using a customer support software is the ease with which you can track the status of a ticket.
