FAQ — Kundensupport
Can you cover 24/7?
Yes — split into two 12-hour shifts across Macedonia + Bulgaria (CET → US-East overlap during the day, EU evening + US-West overlap into the night). For genuine 24/7 we recommend pairing with a complementary timezone (e.g., a Manila or Buenos Aires partner).
What languages are deepest?
EN (universal), DE (very deep — Macedonian diaspora in DACH), IT (deep — coastal Albania + Montenegro), Albanian + Macedonian + Serbian + Bosnian + Croatian (native). FR and ES available but smaller pool.
How do you maintain quality?
Weekly QA on a sample of tickets + calls (Merot's team or yours). CSAT, FRT, AHT, FCR tracked against your goals. Quarterly business review.
Phone vs. chat vs. email — which is your strength?
All three. Phone takes the longest to staff well — voice C1+ English at scale is the bottleneck. Chat + email scale fastest.
Do you do tier-2 (technical) support?
Yes — typically requires hires with prior tech background (junior dev, IT support, network admin). Cost is 30–60% above tier-1.
How do agents access our customer data securely?
Standard: VPN to your environment, SSO via your IdP (Okta/Azure AD/Google), SOC2-compatible logging on Merot's machines, full-disk encryption. We can sign DPAs and BAAs (HIPAA).
Can we ramp up quickly for seasonal peaks?
Yes — Merot maintains a bench of trained support agents for Black Friday / Christmas / tax season ramps. 7–10 day notice for incremental headcount.
What does churn look like for outsourced agents?
Annual: 15–25% — comparable to in-house US support roles. We invest in quarterly career-path reviews + tier-2 / team-lead progression to retain top performers.
