Typical tasks for a Customer Support team

Task

How Accoil Analytics Helps

Identify friction points

  • Monitor User Behavior: Detect declining and engagement scores that indicate where users struggle within your platform.

  • Analyze Customer Queries: After identifying patterns in your data, track and categorize customer queries.

Track engagement

  • Engagement Metrics: Measure and track how actively customers are using the platform with engagement scores and adoption.

  • User Activation: Visualize user paths to understand where drop-offs occur by looking at the activation and adoption filters.

  • Segmentation: Pipe your account health scores to your support system. Identify segments of users with varying engagement levels to tailor support efforts.

Proactive solutions

  • Knowledge Base Enhancements: Use data insights to update and expand your knowledge base with relevant, timely articles.

  • Preemptive Outreach: Reach out to users showing signs of disengagement before issues escalate.

  • Personalized Support: Tailor support interactions based on engagement and account health scores.

Predictive Support

  • Preemptive Solutions: Utilize Accoil Analytics to predict common future issues. For instance, if analytics show a trend of users encountering issues at a certain stage, create support materials or training sessions to address these proactively.

Enhance user experience

  • User Training Programs: Develop training materials based on common user challenges identified through analytics.

  • Account Health Monitoring: Use data to assess account health and provide support tailored to user capabilities and system understanding.

Check-In with Purpose

  • Timely Assistance: Offer timely, relevant help based on user engagement data. For example, if a user is exploring a new feature, send them tips or offer a quick check-in to assist with any questions they might have.

Feedback Loops

  • Proactive Outreach: Use Accoil Analytics to identify users who might be unhappy. Reach out to them for feedback and show them you're committed to improving their experience. For example, if a user’s engagement drops, initiate a feedback request to address any issues.

Monitor New Customers

  • Suggest More: Track how new customers are progressing and suggest additional services or features. For example, if a new customer is using basic features effectively, recommend advanced features that align with their usage patterns.

Anticipate Needs

  • Proactive Solutions: Anticipate customer needs using data. For example, if data shows a user often accesses support for a specific feature, proactively provide additional resources or offer a personalized training session.

Measure Success

  • Track Progress: Use engagement metrics to evaluate the success of your interventions. For instance, track whether a drop in churn rates correlates with new onboarding practices and adjust strategies accordingly.

Trend Analysis

  • Identify Patterns: Analyze long-term trends to understand common issues and replicate successful strategies. For example, if you identify a feature that consistently leads to higher engagement, cross promote its use via your support queries eg “By the way, do you know about our latest feature?” when answering an existing query.
