Published documentation Better onboarding Preventing recurring problems Clear scope

THE PREVENTION POINT

Fixing the cause of recurring requests reduces load permanently.

WHAT TO ANALYSE

Which requests recur most.

Then address the cause.

COMMON RECURRING CAUSES

  • Clients not knowing how to do something: document it
  • Sites breaking from lack of maintenance: offer maintenance
  • Email configuration: publish a guide

WHAT TO CONSIDER OFFERING

A paid maintenance service.

That converts support load into revenue.

WHEN TO ADD CAPACITY

When response times consistently exceed your targets.

WHAT TO DOCUMENT FIRST

Your playbooks, so someone else can use them.

WHAT NOT TO DO

Accept declining response times as inevitable Take on clients faster than you can support them

WHAT TO PROTECT

The service that made clients choose you.
