Support Driven hosted a fireside chat event for Support Operations - register above to check out the recording.
Any kind of high-quality support is hard to scale, but scaling support for highly technical products can be particularly challenging. Even small issues are often time-sensitive. Larger problems routinely business-critical. Customer experience issues come from a myriad of edge cases, and require in-depth expertise to triage and resolve.
So how do you scale a technical support team from just a handful of specialists to 20 in a company growing from 40 to 400 over just a few years, all while supporting a fast-growing and demanding customer base?
In this fireside chat, our speakers discussed things such as:
The story of support at Vercel
Lessons learned in building the team
Maintaining high service levels when everything is on fire
Building support expertise in an environment where new products launch and existing ones evolve all the time
Keeping a customer-focused culture in a high-growth environment
