  • Onboard new reps using SOPs, macros, and shadowing.
  • Run weekly QA reviews, score tickets for accuracy, clarity, and completeness.
  • Provide corrective coaching, and enforce standards on ownership and communication.

  • Escalate risks early, backlog spikes, recurring incidents, customers at risk, process gaps.
  • Maintain a rolling “hot accounts” list, with status and next actions.
