“It’s essential to remember that behind every question or issue is a person with their own experiences and feelings.” Some sage advice from this week’s Response Time guest, Christian Sokolowski, Vice President of Customer Support at Rebuy Engine. This installment includes insights on why empathy is intrinsic to the customer support function, the uniquely human advantage of emotional intelligence, and a story involving a customer, a Batman impression, and an unpressed mute button 🫢 Christian also shares his thoughts on the meaning of customer support: “Our role is not just about addressing issues; it's about genuinely supporting people by offering guidance, teaching, and becoming a trusted advisor in our business.” But that’s not all Christian had to say – read the full interview on the Intercom blog (🔗 on the last slide)

This week I shared my thoughts on burn out in the latest edition of The Ticket – Intercom's all-things-customer-service newsletter. (Click the link in the comments to subscribe and get it in your inbox!) The thing about Support is that most Support people care deeply -- it's really hard for us to not care and not take things personally. This is what makes us good at helping others, but risky when overdone. And one of the most important things you can do as a support leader is prioritize keeping your team happy, healthy, and engaged. It’s undeniable that a great team experience makes for a great customer experience – but more importantly, being burnt out sucks and as leaders we all want to care about our people and see them do their best. Here are a few things we’ve done with our CS team at Intercom to fend off burnout: 🤔 Regularly ask what’s not working At least once a quarter, we meet with our teammates and ask them what’s making it hard to do their job and what changes they’d like to see us make. Taking the time to engage one-to-one, actively seek out ideas, and then do something with the feedback has been a great way to build trust and move forward as a team in a way that actually means something to the people on it. Even better, empower that person and give them time and space to own and go fix the problem. 🦾 Use AI to make work easier No surprise here! We’re obviously enthusiastic adopters of FinAI Copilot, and it's a much better teammates experience to have the information and context you need to do your job, vs. scrolling through a million tabs and docs. Having the time and tools to full help customers feels good. ✨ Use and develop different skills It takes a certain type of person to absorb strangers problems and energy all week. And while it's fulfilling, it can also be tiring. We’ve made it a point to build time into our capacity planning for non-inboxing activities, like updating knowledge hub articles, teaching and QA, and programming internal tools. It's important to have folks stretch their brains and learn new skills, while still adding value to our team's goals. 🤩 Have fun! Everyone -- especially weird CS folks -- enjoy doing something lighthearted and quirky. We have a dedicated “Culture and Recognition” team to make sure we actually do this. Whether it’s our annual “Spirit Week” with dress ups and activities, fun events like ice cream day and book swaps, we try to prioritize having some fun. This should be casual and chill fun, not "forced fun". Life is short, you career life is shorter. You deserve to be looked after the same way you look after your customers. What did I miss? let me know!

It’s Friday, so that means it’s poll time! Last poll we ran, everyone who voted was *instantly promoted, 23% more attractive to prospective employers / romantic partners and also got limited edition +8 UNO cards for life. ‘Do more with less’ has sent shivers down every #CS leader’s spine for the past ten years. But now with #AI, it’s genuinely possible without tanking your #customerexperience. DONE! So, what should our team solve for you next? Best answers will actually win some custom +8 UNO cards, so vote, share or tag a CS friend who has a product wish list. *your mileage may vary

Ok. So we might be biased, but working in a #support team at an #AI-first #Customer #Service company gives you a pretty unique vantage point when it comes to your career (hi Leanne Harte 👋). #Optimism doesn’t come easy when this much change is happening, so this episode of The Ticket podcast is worth a listen if you need some coming into the weekend.
Absolutely loved this recent chat I had with Ruth O'Brien about Customer Support teams using AI to drive efficiency, and how the future might look when we embrace this technology (spoiler: I'm pretty optimistic!). Great way to celebrate my 8th year at Intercom 🎉

The 4th is a day for our North American friends, colleagues, customers and competitors to celebrate independence. Whether you’re from the US or not, independence is something we’ll celebrate with anyone who wants it. So here’s to the independent thinkers, dreamers and doers who felt compelled to push beyond the limits of convention. The renegades that climbed inch by inch past the naysayers so we could all stand on top of the mountains we do today. Here’s to the true pioneers 🫡
