Support team meeting template
The support team's weekly meeting: the numbers, the problems customers kept writing about, what needs passing to product, and anything that would make next week easier.
The agenda, with a time for each part
- The week in numbers5 min
- How many tickets, how fast did we answer, and how happy were customers?
- What customers kept asking about8 min
- Which questions came up again and again?
- What goes to product or engineering7 min
- Which problems should be fixed rather than answered?
- Help articles and saved replies5 min
- Which answer should we write once and reuse?
- What would make next week easier5 min
- What slowed you down?
How the notes read afterwards
A made-up example, so you can see the shape. In a real call each line carries the words that were said and who said them.
Numbers. 610 tickets; first reply in 3.5 hours; satisfaction 92%.
Asked again and again. How to change a billing email (48 times).
To product. Let customers change the billing email themselves.
Saved reply. Written for the new export (Dana).
Running it well
- Bring the top five questions of the week with counts. A question asked forty times is a product problem.
- Give the product team one list with numbers, not a stream of messages. They act on patterns.
- Ask the agents what slowed them down. They know which tool, process or missing information costs the most time.
Ways to change it
When to skip it. Never for long: support teams that stop meeting stop passing problems on.
