With so many priorities competing for attention, it can be daunting to ensure your customers receive top-grade service without detracting from an already strained budget and timetable.
Data shows that, for global businesses, providing support in multiple languages is well worth the effort. Nearly three quarters of people search online in their native language, which means that if you’re only communicating in English, for example, you’re probably losing customers and adding layers of inefficiencies for your agents.
For many larger businesses, it can often be difficult to keep up with the flood of support tickets and customer issues that flood in – even with a powerful helpdesk.

Making customer support personalized, then continually improving upon the experience is what truly shows your customers that they are a top priority for you.
Growing a successful business requires a strong understanding of your target audience. Beyond knowing the basic demographic information of the ideal customer, marketers also need to be familiar with their needs, interests, and decision-making process. After all, earning loyal customers doesn’t just mean getting your brand in front of a specific group of people.
Measuring and analyzing customer support performance can be challenging. The quality of a customer’s experience with your team is a bit more subjective than, say, the ROI of a marketing campaign, or the sales of a new product.
Customers want personalized support, but they also want quick support. These are two needs that don’t always go hand-in-hand. When a customer reaches out for support, the agent typically needs a plethora of information to tailor the support to said customer.
