3 min read · Tags: bfcm, support

The problem

Your normal team handles 60 tickets a day. BFCM weekend you'll see 600. Last year you collapsed.

Our solution

We pre-staff Black Friday through Cyber Monday with surge agents, pre-train on your macros, and run 24/7 coverage.

The problem

Our solution

Plan staffing in September, not November

Quality surge agents are booked by mid-October.

Macro library is the bottleneck

If your macros aren't tight, surge agents go off-script. We tighten them in October.

Post-mortem the Monday after

Capture every issue while fresh. That's how next year is better.
