Balancing Inbox Coverage and Support Projects with Chase Clemons
About this episode
We’re exploring how to balance inbox work with long-term projects on a support team! Chase Clemons from 37signals returns to share how his team uses six-week cycles to manage support coverage, build new initiatives, and avoid burnout while still delivering exceptional customer service.
In this episode, you’ll learn how 37signals structures their support team to thrive in both reactive and proactive work. Discover how they balance daily inbox demands with meaningful project work, the benefits of hiring “managers of one,” and why project days are key to team longevity. Chase also shares how cycles promote clarity, protect focus time, and allow support pros to contribute far beyond the queue
