According to the Marketing Agency Growth Report 2018, 15% of businesses do not customize their service offering and fail to deliver services on time. While acquiring new clients is always hard for almost 60% of the companies, 16% of these businesses face client retention problems as well. While the sales staff for about 79% of companies feel confident about closing new deals and clients, an alarming 23% of them fail to meet client expectations!
While the above numbers are not specific to SaaS-based companies, they are still very relevant. For SaaS-based solutions, onboarding a customer is of paramount importance. On-boarding process documents are vital to avoid multiple rounds of communications with the customer. Once the customer is on-boarded, the primary focus shifts towards delivering these services to the customers. MagicBox has a MagicBox Professional Services (MBPS) team that looks after the queries/issues reported by the customers.
Tier Support
Tier 1 Support
MBPS team provides Tier 1 support to the end users (Students, Teachers, School Admins, District Admin) to resolve their issues/queries within the defined SLA by communicating directly with the team member.
The support tool is integrated with all the apps (iOS, Android, Mac, Windows) through which users can directly log the ticket to the support portal by simply visiting the Help link from the app. This integration allows the user to chat with the member of the MBPS team to get the responses in real time.
This support tool allows for the (MBPS) team to eliminate the process of asking a user for their device information, preventing a time-consuming and frustratingly ambiguous situation from occurring.
The integration of the support tool is helpful to get the meta information about the device as the app captures all the relevant information except the password that helps the dev team to debug and fix the issue in a short span of time. The meta information contains OS version, username, device name, device type, etc.
In tier 1 support, the support team generally handles the troubleshooting and customer queries by communicating directly with the end user.
