How Yesim Built Effective Customer Support for Travelers

With the growth of the eSIM market and increased number of travelers that use our services, Yesim team realized how important it is to provide top-notch and efficient customer support. We developed a plan that helps us handle any number of customer inquiries successfully, and we’re excited to share what we learned.

1. Understanding Our Customers' Needs

The first step in creating a support system is knowing what our customers need. We did extensive research using data from our CRM systems, surveys, and by analyzing activity on our website and social media. This helped us identify key customer groups, from business travelers to tourists looking for the best eSIM options.

As a result, we created a knowledge base with frequently asked questions, allowing users to quickly find answers about things like activating their eSIM or changing their plans. You can create a similar knowledge base and automate other support processes with the helpdesk system.

2. Organizing Inquiries and Standard Responses

We found that organizing inquiries into categories speeds up response times. Each type of question—whether about activation status, technical issues, or pricing—was categorized and standardized. This allowed us to create clear guidelines for our operators, reducing the time it takes to solve problems and increasing customer satisfaction.

Setting Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

To evaluate how well our support service is working, we track metrics like:

• First response time: How long it takes from when a customer first contacts us to when an operator responds.
• Resolution time: How long it takes to fully resolve an issue.
• Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI): How happy customers are with their interaction with us.

3. Using Modern Technology

Yesim actively uses modern technology to improve customer support. We integrated our systems with CRM software so our operators can easily access customer interaction histories and respond quickly.

Automated systems help us manage inquiries and maintain order, even during busy times.

Additionally, we introduced chatbots that can handle simple questions, such as activating an eSIM or checking rates. This allows our operators to focus on more complex issues, boosting the overall efficiency of our support team.

4. Supporting Self-Service Options

Many customers prefer to solve their problems on their own. So, we created a comprehensive knowledge base and interactive FAQs. These resources help customers find answers without needing to contact support, making the process easier for them and reducing the workload on our team.

5. Employee Training and Development

One of the key aspects of our support service is ongoing training for our staff. We hold regular training sessions on new technologies and products, ensuring our operators stay informed and can provide excellent service.

6. Collecting Feedback and Analyzing Data

Yesim actively seeks feedback from customers after they interact with our support team. We conduct surveys and monitor online reviews, helping us identify areas for improvement and continually enhance our service.

7. Scalable Support Infrastructure

To ensure our support service runs smoothly, we use cloud solutions. This allows us to quickly adjust to increased inquiry volumes during busy periods, such as peak travel seasons.

8. Utilizing Analytics

Regularly analyzing our support team's performance helps us spot and fix issues fast. Our analytical systems track data on first response times, resolution times, number of inquiries resolved, customer satisfaction with specific agents, and more.

Most of these analytics tools are built into our inquiry management systems. Usedesk provides these capabilities as well, allowing us to quickly create reports that show how effectively our support team is working.

Conclusion

Building an effective customer support system has been a major goal for Yesim, requiring a well-rounded approach. By deeply understanding our customers’ needs, using modern technology, and continually training our staff, we’ve created an efficient and customer-friendly support service. As a result, our customers can expect excellent service, and we are confident in our success in the eSIM market for travelers.
