When I started, we were getting about = 600 to 800 support emails a week. Within a few months, it was over 2,000. A= t our peak, it was 20,000. I was drowning. We had eight people handling 8,000 emails a week at one poi= nt. Seeking advice, I got on a call with the support lead at Mailchimp. He = sounded so incredibly calm. I thought, =E2=80=9CHow is this man so relaxed = right now? All I do is work.=E2=80=9D It sounded like he was swaying in a h= ammock. It turned out they had the exact same email volume as we did, but t= hey had a team of 35 people. That one conversation broke the spell and fina= lly got me permission to hire more folks. But finding the right people is hard. I wasn=E2=80=99t looking to open a ma= ssive call center, or to hire reps who relied on a script. I wanted people = technical enough to wrap their heads around complex website issues, but fri= endly and engaging in writing. Most importantly, I wanted their own voice t= o come through. I wanted customers to be able to tell an email from Jennife= r apart from an email from Kenny. I ended up finding amazing, overqualified talent in unexpected places, like= hiremymom.com. Keep in mind, this was 2010, well before remote work was st= andard. I found a technical writer in Georgia who used to write documentati= on for archaic phone systems. I hired a college kid in Canada studying soft= ware engineering. They were brilliant. (Fun fact: because my remote support= team was the only group not in the San Francisco office, and we were using= AIM to chat, I ended up introducing this new thing called Slack to the com= pany.) I also learned that knowing what you=E2=80=99re doing matters more than ple= asantries. I had a phone on my desk, and sometimes it would ring and disrup= t my flow. I=E2=80=99d pick it up and just say, =E2=80=9CWeebly, what do yo= u want?=E2=80=9D The customer would be completely taken aback =E2=80=94 the= y expected a robot or a highly polished greeting. But while they were stamm= ering, I=E2=80=99d already used their caller ID to pull up their account, i= ssue a refund, and add six free months to their plan. They loved it. They w= ere calling for a solution, and I gave it to them immediately. But the real secret to scaling our support was a chain of trust. Early on, = our co-founder Dan sent automated plain-text emails to new users, and I sen= t a second blast. Because they looked like real emails, people replied dire= ctly to them. Once we hit scale, neither of us could keep up. So, I started answering Dan= =E2=80=99s emails as Dan. And my two most trusted hires =E2=80=94 the techn= ical writer in Georgia, and the engineering student in Canada =E2=80=94 sta= rted answering my emails as me. I more or less became Dan. They became me. That=E2=80=99s the lesson. When you bring someone on, don=E2=80=99t try to = forcefully scale yourself. Don=E2=80=99t try to clone yourself. Trust them = enough to let them take over, and bring other people=E2=80=99s humanity int= o your org. *************************** Justine and Kat explain Quo *************************** You made the hire. Now let them in. Justine Delgadillo Kathleen Buffington Justine Delgadillo Kat Buffington Your new hire doesn't need to become you. They do need access to your histo= ry with the customer: the conversations, the context. That=E2=80=99s why Quo has shared numbers ( https://support.quo.com/core-co= ncepts/team-collaboration/inbox-sharing?utm_campaign=3DAfter+Hours+issue+7&= utm_content=3DAfter+Hours+issue+7&utm_medium=3Demail_action&utm_source=3Dcu= stomer.io#inbox-sharing ). With a shared number, your new hire can call and text from the same number = your customers already know =E2=80=94 and they'll have the full conversatio= n history in front of them. No one has to start from scratch. Here=E2=80=99s how to set it up: * Add your new hire to your shared number: Go to Settings, Phone numbers, s= elect the number you wish to share, then go to Users, Add users. They=E2=80= =99ll immediately see the full conversation history. * Coach behind the scenes: If a new hire gets stuck on a call, message, or = voicemail, they don=E2=80=99t need to forward it to you. They can just clic= k the chat icon from the popup menu to start an internal thread. Right bene= ath the customer=E2=80=99s text, they can tag you with an @mention to ask, = =E2=80=9CHey, how should we handle this refund?=E2=80=9D You=E2=80=99ll get= a notification in your Activity feed; you can reply internally. Then they = can respond to the customer with confidence. * Track action items: Once the customer is taken care of, you can click the= three dots (=E2=80=A6) above any internal comment and select =E2=80=9CMark= as resolved=E2=80=9D to complete the action item. You can stay in the loop without being in the way, and they have what they = need to run with it. Richard didn=E2=80=99t have any of this in his AIM day= s! Watch this quick video to see how easy it is to set up shared numbers for y= our business: ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DzDqbmXh4-6s&utm_campaign=3DAfter+Hours+= issue+7&utm_content=3DAfter+Hours+issue+7&utm_medium=3Demail_action&utm_sou= rce=3Dcustomer.io ) *************** Founders Corner *************** How to make your next hire count Daryna Kulya At some point, every founder has to answer the same tough question: who do = you trust to take a critical part of your business and run with it? Richard talked about building that chain of trust. But before you can hand = anything off, you have to find the right person. Over the years, I=E2=80=99ve tracked every hire I=E2=80=99ve made at Quo. H= ere are two lessons I wish I=E2=80=99d learned earlier. 1. Identify the candidate=E2=80=99s =E2=80=98major=E2=80=99 and =E2=80=98mi= nor.=E2=80=99 The key isn't knowing every aspect of the role. It's identify= ing the two or three things that are truly critical for the next 18 months = =E2=80=94 and building your search around those. I think of it as a major a= nd a minor. Say you need a Head of Marketing, but you're really creating a = new category and need tons of market education. That's probably someone wit= h a major in product marketing and a minor in growth. That's a much sharper= profile than "marketing leader," and it dramatically improves your odds. 2. Ditch the 30-60-90 day plan. I used to ask every leadership candidate fo= r one. The answers were always too vague, and candidates were missing the c= ontext to say anything meaningful. What works better: pick one specific, re= al challenge the role will face and ask how they'd approach it. Something l= ike: how would you handle a customer who's threatening to leave over a pric= e increase? Or what would your first 30 days of outreach look like for our = core customer? You'll learn exactly how someone thinks, without any of the = fluff. And speaking of finding the right people, we=E2=80=99re hiring at Quo. If y= ou=E2=80=99re someone who cares about helping small businesses win, or you = know someone who might be, check out our open roles ( https://www.quo.com/c= areers?utm_campaign=3DAfter+Hours+issue+7&utm_content=3DAfter+Hours+issue+7= &utm_medium=3Demail_action&utm_source=3Dcustomer.io ).

When I started, we were gettin= g about 600 to 800 support emails a week. Within a few months, it was over = 2,000. At our peak, it was 20,000.</p> =20 =20 <p style=3D"color: #ffffff; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 1= 6px 0;">I was drowning. We had eight people handling 8,000 emails a week at= one point. Seeking advice, I got on a call with the support lead at Mailch= imp. He sounded so incredibly calm. I thought, =E2=80=9CHow is this man so = relaxed right now? All I do is work.=E2=80=9D It sounded like he was swayin= g in a hammock. It turned out they had the exact same email volume as we di= d, but they had a team of 35 people. That one conversation broke the spell = and finally got me permission to hire more folks.</p> =20 =20 <p style=3D"color: #ffffff; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 1= 6px 0;">But finding the right people is hard. I wasn=E2=80=99t looking to o= pen a massive call center, or to hire reps who relied on a script. I wanted= people technical enough to wrap their heads around complex website issues,= but friendly and engaging in writing. Most importantly, I wanted their own= voice to come through. I wanted customers to be able to tell an email from= Jennifer apart from an email from Kenny.</p> =20 =20 <p style=3D"color: #ffffff; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 1= 6px 0;">I ended up finding amazing, overqualified talent in unexpected plac= es, like hiremymom.com. Keep in mind, this was 2010, well before remote wor= k was standard. I found a technical writer in Georgia who used to write doc= umentation for archaic phone systems. I hired a college kid in Canada study= ing software engineering. They were brilliant. (Fun fact: because my remote= support team was the only group not in the San Francisco office, and we we= re using AIM to chat, I ended up introducing this new thing called Slack to= the company.)</p> =20 =20 <p style=3D"color: #ffffff; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 1= 6px 0;">I also learned that knowing what you=E2=80=99re doing matters more = than pleasantries. I had a phone on my desk, and sometimes it would ring an= d disrupt my flow. I=E2=80=99d pick it up and just say, =E2=80=9CWeebly, wh= at do you want?=E2=80=9D The customer would be completely taken aback =E2= =80=94 they expected a robot or a highly polished greeting. But while they = were stammering, I=E2=80=99d already used their caller ID to pull up their = account, issue a refund, and add six free months to their plan. They loved = it. They were calling for a solution, and I gave it to them immediately.</p= > =20 =20 <p style=3D"color: #ffffff; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 1= 6px 0;">But the real secret to scaling our support was a chain of trust. Ea= rly on, our co-founder Dan sent automated plain-text emails to new users, a= nd I sent a second blast. Because they looked like real emails, people repl= ied directly to them.</p> =20 =20 <p style=3D"color: #ffffff; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 1= 6px 0;">Once we hit scale, neither of us could keep up. So, I started answe= ring Dan=E2=80=99s emails as Dan. And my two most trusted hires =E2=80=94 t= he technical writer in Georgia, and the engineering student in Canada =E2= =80=94 started answering my emails as me. I more or less became Dan. They b= ecame me.</p> =20 =20 <p style=3D"color: #ffffff; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 1= 6px 0;">That=E2=80=99s the lesson.

Here are two lessons I wish I=E2=80=99d learned earlier.</p> =20 =20 <p style=3D"color: #ffffff; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 1= 6px 0;"><strong>1. Identify the candidate=E2=80=99s =E2=80=98major=E2=80=99= and =E2=80=98minor.=E2=80=99</strong> The key isn't knowing every aspect o= f the role. It's identifying the two or three things that are truly critica= l for the next 18 months =E2=80=94 and building your search around those. I= think of it as a major and a minor. Say you need a Head of Marketing, but = you're really creating a new category and need tons of market education. Th= at's probably someone with a major in product marketing and a minor in grow= th. That's a much sharper profile than "marketing leader," and it d= ramatically improves your odds.</p> =20 =20 <p style=3D"color: #ffffff; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 1= 6px 0;"><strong>2. Ditch the 30-60-90 day plan.</strong> I used to ask ever= y leadership candidate for one. The answers were always too vague, and cand= idates were missing the context to say anything meaningful. What works bett= er: pick one specific, real challenge the role will face and ask how they'd= approach it. Something like: how would you handle a customer who's threate= ning to leave over a price increase? Or what would your first 30 days of ou= treach look like for our core customer? You'll learn exactly how someone th= inks, without any of the fluff.</p> =20 =20 <p style=3D"color: #ffffff; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 1= 6px 0;">And speaking of finding the right people, we=E2=80=99re hiring at Q= uo.
