The Importance of Trusting Our Entire Support Team

Stressed Worker

When engaging Approved Systems Services, you are receiving support from our entire company, not just a single individual. From time to time, our team members need to take leave, recharge, or focus on other tasks. While having a familiar person assist you can be beneficial due to their retained knowledge, relying solely on one individual can lead to burnout and delays in service.

Our team is comprised of highly trained professionals, all equipped to handle your needs efficiently. By trusting any member of our support staff, you help ensure a smoother and more effective support experience for everyone. Here’s an example to illustrate why it’s important to utilize our entire team:

A Story of Why You Need to Accept Help from Other Approved Systems Staff

Imagine this scenario: A customer, let’s call him Alex, is facing a technical issue and calls our support line, specifically asking for Fred. Fred is known for his expertise and has assisted Alex in the past. However, James, another capable support staff member, answers the call.

“Hi Alex, how can I help you today?” James asks.

“I need to speak with Fred. He knows what I need,” Alex insists.

James tries to assure Alex that he can assist, “I have access to all the previous notes and can help resolve your issue.”

But Alex is adamant. “No, I’ll wait for Fred. He knows exactly what to do.”

As the morning progresses, Fred, who has been handling a lengthy support call, finally takes a short break to clear his mind. During this time, Alex calls twice more, still insisting on speaking with Fred. When Fred returns, he now has to handle a pre-scheduled, high-priority call with another customer, a Gold-level client, which runs over time due to its complexity.

Fred finishes the call, exhausted, and takes a brief lunch break to recharge. Meanwhile, Alex is growing increasingly frustrated, feeling that his issue is being ignored because he hasn’t been able to speak with Fred.

Finally, Fred returns from lunch and calls Alex back. It turns out that Alex’s issue was a simple feature enable request that James could have handled quickly and efficiently. Alex is upset about the delay, feeling that the service was not delivered promptly. James, on the other hand, feels undervalued and unappreciated. Despite his willingness and ability to help, he was repeatedly turned away.

This scenario highlights a critical issue: by insisting on speaking only with Fred, customers inadvertently overburden him and overlook the capabilities of other skilled team members like James. This not only leads to delays in service but also affects the morale of the support team. When staff members feel underappreciated, they may seek opportunities elsewhere, leading to a loss of valuable talent from our support team and leaving Fred with a larger workload to bear, now having to spend time seeking new talent.
