Put data towork High-performing support teams are better at tracking key metrics to understand customers’ issues and make updates to improve operations.

Build in collaboration and automation Enabling the right workflows across teams is essential to get customer requests solved effectively. 60% of agents said they’re collaborating across Customer Service, Sales, and Marketing teams to get customer requests resolved. High performers are more likely to lean on automations and advanced features to handle requests efficiently, meaning more triggers, more automations, and more macros. Triggers remind agents of important workflow steps, and macros optimize workflows by automating responses that can be answered with a single, standard reply.

An even lower share of companies using Zendesk are actually relying on analytics: Only 40% of companies using Zendesk have enabled analytics to track performance. Companies that are truly investing in analytics are reaping the benefits. High performers are more than twice as likely to be using Zendesk Explore, which provides analytics for businesses to measure and improve the entire customer experience. When we looked at companies that are most sophisticated in their use of Explore compared to everyone else, we found that top companies are 44% faster to respond to customers and spend 60% less time keeping customers waiting, all while handling more than six times the volume of tickets.
