Best practices
Reducing ticket volume without reducing service
The only sustainable way to handle more customers without hiring proportionally.
Find the top five
Sort your categories by volume. In almost every business, five topics generate a third of all tickets, and they are boringly predictable.
Write those five articles properly
Not a paragraph — a genuine walkthrough with screenshots. Then link them from the canned reply your agents already send for that question.
Put them where the customer already is
In the chat widget, in the ticket form as suggestions while they type, and in the acknowledgement email. A knowledge base nobody can find deflects nothing.
Measure it
Watch that category’s volume over the following quarter. A fifth is a normal reduction; a third is achievable.
WAS THIS HELPFUL?
If this did not answer your question, open a ticket and a person will reply. In your own installation, an unhelpful vote can open a ticket automatically.
