Here’s what you need to know.

Plan early

It is important to begin strategizing for your customer support goals as soon as possible, as this helps you prepare to face challenges, identify roadblocks, and craft solutions.

This also gives you time to train your staff to use the appropriate tools and software – delivering a seamless omnichannel experience to your customers.

When planning, it is important to avoid common pitfalls like setting unrealistic goals and neglecting team involvement in your customer support strategizing.

Unrealistic goals can lead to burnout and lower team morale, while getting your customer support team involved is the best way to build strategies that will work practically in your organisation.

Also ensure that you use an omnichannel approach throughout the process, as this ensures everyone has access to all the tools and data they need – no matter how the client contacts you.

Failure to do this can result in fragmented support systems that reduce the customer experience.

Build a self-service centre

A self-service centre is crucial for customer support and benefits both customers and employees.

This involves curating a knowledge base for common questions and SOPs, and updating this content regularly.

Your customers expect quick and easy resolutions to their queries, and a self-service centre makes it easy for these individuals to get answers without having to interact with one of your agents at all.

This leaves your customer support agents to focus more attentively on clients with more complex issues the self-service centre does not cover.

The self-service centre also helps your agents to source easy answers to customers’ challenges – enhancing efficiency and streamlining the support process.

Empowering employees for success

Empowered employees are vital for superior customer support – and in 2025, tools like Zendesk are the best way to help your customer support agents.

Zendesk provides tools for efficiency, automating repetitive tasks, and involving your team in tech decisions.

By equipping your employees with top-tier technology for customer satisfaction, you will keep your customer support agents happy while also stimulating business growth.

Furthermore, Zendesk supports an omnichannel approach that is essential for seamless customer interactions across platforms such as email, chat, WhatsApp and phone.

This is available through a single AI-powered system that can identify customer-preferred channels, connect them effectively, and maintain a consistent voice.

The benefits of this are extensive, including improved customer satisfaction and more brand loyalty.

Collecting this data from various interactions also gives you the ability to analyse it for insights into customer and employee behaviour – which can then be used to refine your customer support strategies.
