Customer Support Specialist

I’ve worked in tech startup customer support for 7+ years and in customer facing roles for the majority of my career.

I can work with you to improve how your business helps customers when they get in touch. I can also help with training new managers in customer support and help create structure for them and their team to succeed.

Customer knowledge base strategy

Your knowledge base is the foundation of supporting your customers. It’s the first place customers, your team, and AI will refer to if they have issues. I’ll help you:

  • Audit and optimise existing documentation for clarity and navigation
  • Create any missing documentation to fix common questions
  • Review existing workflows and optimise them

Using AI in Customer Support

AI helps both customers and your team find the answers they need. I can help you:

  • Identify the right AI tools for your business
  • Develop strategies your team will actually use
  • Create guidelines for balancing AI automation with human responses
  • Measure the impact of AI and improve performance over time

Data collection and analysis

Data and metrics are key to making good decisions and see whether changes you make are effectively improving customer support outcomes. I’ll help you:

  • Start tracking support metrics
  • Create dashboards to analyse data you collect
  • Identify trends in customer contacts and make plans to reduce these
  • Turn support contact data into insights for product development and business strategy

Manager support and training

Managers play a key role in making customer service agents feel supported and help to identify talent that can progress to more complex tasks. I provide:

  • A framework for managing a customer support team and making sure all new hirers are trained effectively
  • Creating structure for managing a remote team and effective ways to build trust
  • How to use the data we collect to inform decisions and determine who is excelling in their role and who needs extra support
