How we onboard a dedicated support specialist in 7 days
Instead of spending months recruiting, interviewing, and training on your own, our 7-day onboarding blueprint covers four steps:
Days 1–2 (Historical Ticket Audit)
We analyze your last 100 customer emails to categorize the top 15 questions and build a structured response macro library
Days 3–4 (Tool & Permission Setup)
Configure least-privilege access inside your helpdesk (Zendesk, Gorgias, HelpScout, or Gmail) and order lookup system
Days 5–6 (Shadow & Approval Mode)
The agent drafts replies to live tickets for your review so you can fine-tune tone and edge-case rules
Day 7+ (Live Autonomous Coverage + Weekly QA)
Full daily inbox and chat coverage with weekly response-time and satisfaction reporting
