Finding Excellent Customer Support Agents in Unlikely Places
About this episode
The best support specialists can sometimes come from the most unexpected places!
We're getting into what really makes a great support team and exploring the unique, non-traditional paths that led each member of the Buzzsprout podcaster success team to provide remarkable customer support.
You’ll hear from everyone on the Buzzsprout podcaster success team as we share the skills we developed long before we ever worked in support—skills like representation, empathy, relationship-building, communication, adaptability, and staying calm in high-pressure moments.
This episode is for anyone hiring support specialists, building a support team, or looking to transition into customer support, and wondering how their past experience fits. We talk about what to look for beyond a resume, why loving to help people matters more than years of experience, and how diverse backgrounds can create a better support team.
We’d also love to hear from you! If you’ve picked up an unexpected skill from a past job that now helps you in customer support, or if your path into support wasn’t a straight line, text us and tell us your story!
We want to hear from you! Share your support stories and questions with us at [email protected]!
