Great support: detailed and fast
by Jos Klever·2 years ago·1 reply
I don’t even use this plugin myself, but on behalf of my clients I had a question today (on a Saturday) and it was answered very fast and detailed by Tessa.
Not only were my questions answered, they also pointed out some extra things to keep an eye on, that I didn’t even thought of yet and took my suggestion for improvement in consideration, so they are a perfect example for other support reps. 😃
