Ineffective one-size-fits-all support approach
Etsy, a globally recognized eCommerce marketplace with over 60 million active buyers and 3 million active sellers, was struggling to maintain customer satisfaction due to inconsistent support interactions. Despite a large team of over 500 agents providing assistance via phone, email, and live chat, the customer experience team faced the challenge of delivering consistent and high-quality support. The primary approach relied heavily on email scripts and templates, suitable for general efficiency but inadequate for the unique needs of diverse buyers and sellers. This one-size-fits-all method resulted in declining customer satisfaction scores (CSAT). Recognizing the limitations of their current methods and the diverse requirements of their community, Etsy aimed to elevate their support quality by revisiting their training and QA processes. The realization that QA on its own wasn't sufficient led to the exploration of more tailored solutions.
