Mission: Agent CX initialized | Take a look at your operation briefMission Brief

Not all secret agents wear perfectly tailored suits and gizmos. Some wear hoodies, business casuals, and headphones. Like secret agents, the job of support agents can be demanding and is often not appreciated enough. They blend in with the background, though they deserve the limelight. This month, we’re initializing 🕵️ Mission Agent CX, a series of operations to empower and throw the spotlight on customer service agents like you and celebrate all the incredible work you do! Bring out your thinking hat because we have a bunch of missions for you to take the lead on. Here’s a look at the operation brief: 🎯 Mission 1:  Confessions of a brilliant mindYour first mission, should you accept it, is a test of your product intelligence. Show off your acumen by sharing a unique use case of any feature in Freshdesk.

Meet Agent Royale  Ben Ford (@Crocus_Benford), CS Development Manager, Crocus, and his sidekick, Nova, as we explore a day in his life, and learn from his easy tips and tricks.   ⏰ What’s the first thing you usually do when your shift starts? I start by reviewing the previous days’ reports, checking performance and trends. 📝 How do you usually prioritize your tasks for the workday?I rank my task priority by: 1 = Time dependent or critical issues to resolve. 2 = Current project work and day to day tasks. 3 = Continuous improvement. 📧 As the tickets come in, do you have any shortcuts/hacks/principles you follow to keep your inbox light? Automate as many easy tasks as possible.
