When we built the first Kayako, we wanted to create a customer service tool that had the customer at its heart. Something that would help us speak the customer’s language, tick their boxes, and voila — ticket closed. Happy customers, happy support team, right? But times have changed. Customers expect 24/7 availability and an uninterrupted conversation, even as they switch between their favorite channels—from Twitter to email, from email back to your Help Center—without thinking twice or w

Your brand is not what you think it is! It is what your customers think it is; its brand image, personality and its value to them. I was lecturing at Miami University a couple of weeks ago on brand image and personality. These are two vital elements of branding. They need to be clear and consistently represented in all your communications. If you’re having issues with your own brand in either of these areas, then you’ll find the following article both interesting and valuable.

That has been my intention behind my books, blog, speaking and work as co-founder of the Customer Experience Professionals Association.

One of the most vital components of any contact center is the training department. No matter what kind of center you operate, it’s critical that those interacting with customers possess and maintain a solid understanding of the overall business, as well as its practices and procedures.

When you have an opening on your customer support team, you can take all the right steps and still not know whether a prospective hire is going to be the right fit. Even when you’ve gone through resume reviewing, phone screening, and first round interviews, you may still be left with a handful of great candidates. Although this is a good problem to have, it can be stressful for any hiring manager.
