Before joining ClickUp, I had a clear understanding of what it takes to excel in customer support: patience, tech-savviness, and a knack for interpersonal connections. Unfortunately, those qualities didn’t exactly describe me.
My background in customer service was a mishmash of experiences, from retail gigs at a gothic boutique to serving tables at a sports bar straight out of a mob movie. In those roles, I quickly learned that the customer isn’t always right, but keeping quiet usually meant better tips and commissions.
Needless to say, I had some digging to do to understand how ClickUp’s Customer Support Team mastered the art. Turns out, it’s a blend of genuine enthusiasm for the platform and a sincere desire to help others boost their productivity.
So, whether you’re aiming to elevate your own customer service skills or simply curious about how ClickUp’s team achieves such excellence, let’s dive in together!
Understanding Customer Support at ClickUp
Even if you’ve never been on the frontlines of customer service, you’ve experienced the stark contrast between good and bad support.
Bad support involves endless hold times, bouncing between exhausted reps and automated systems, and ultimately realizing your issue is unsolvable, leading to frustration.
On the flip side, great support means timely assistance from empathetic humans who stick with you until the problem is solved, leaving you feeling confident and supported.
According to research, stellar customer service breeds loyalty, while poor service drives customers away. ClickUp understands this, evident in their valuation growth and commitment to user satisfaction.
To truly appreciate ClickUp’s Customer Support, you must understand the company’s core values, which are deeply ingrained in every interaction with users:
These values anchor the Customer Support department, guiding them in delivering exceptional service. But it’s not just about values; it’s about building a product designed to serve users’ needs.
Addressing Customer Support Needs
Regardless of industry, the goals of a customer support representative are consistent:
- Provide timely, empathetic assistance.
- Answer questions with clarity and kindness.
- Help users maximize product usage cost-effectively.
- Ensure users feel confident in their decision to use the product.
Despite these straightforward goals, many companies fall short by neglecting to equip their support teams adequately.
Speaking with ClickUp’s CS team, I learned that prior to joining, many had grown disillusioned with the tech support industry due to unsupportive leadership and outdated tools. ClickUp changed that narrative, providing the resources needed to excel.
