- 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.
