problem

The operating gap

Support teams often treat service calls as isolated tickets. But billing issues, technical problems, complaints, and account behavior can reveal retention risk or appropriate upgrade opportunities if handled carefully.

build

What gets built

Applied a structured support approach: diagnose the issue, de-escalate frustration, resolve the customer need, document accurately, and identify relevant retention or cross-sell options only when they fit the account. This model can be translated into scripts, CRM prompts, support AI, and QA dashboards.
