The challenge: Elevating service offering by recommending best-in-class customer support tools
As part of TalentPop’s mission to provide an exceptional customer service function to its clients — which in turn helps drive its own growth — the agency always seeks to recommend the best customer support tools available. Clients using traditional help desks like Zendesk faced several challenges that reduced customer support efficiency.
One major issue was the clunky interfaces of these older help desks. TalentPop’s clients often found them difficult to use and lacking crucial integrations with other business systems and apps. This forced agents to juggle multiple tabs and manually copy-paste data, leading to inefficiencies. These limitations slowed down routine query resolutions and reduced the time agents could spend on more complex issues or proactive support.
Another significant pain point was the lack of robust data analysis and reporting features. Clients couldn't easily track and analyze ticket trends, making it hard to identify recurring issues and improve service quality. This lack of insight created gaps in customer support and missed opportunities for enhancing and personalizing the customer experience.
These challenges highlighted the need for a more integrated, user-friendly, and advanced customer support solution that TalentPop could confidently recommend to its clients. To strengthen its service offering, TalentPop entered into a strategic partnership with a top-tier customer support platform it was already a fan of using — Gorgias.
“Before partnering with Gorgias, our offering was missing a key ingredient. TalentPop excels at working within any tech stack, but we wanted to provide our clients with best-in-class solutions while building out their customer service operations.”
— Olivia Parker, Senior Partnerships Manager at TalentPop
The solution: A strategic partnership with Gorgias leverages mutual values and objectives
TalentPop found a powerful solution for its clients in Gorgias, a user-friendly, unified customer experience platform with advanced automation features and a wide range of integrations. The partnership between TalentPop and Gorgias was a natural fit, given their shared ideal customer personas and commitment to enhancing customer support.
“We always recommend Gorgias because of its easy-to-use features, quick installation, and native integrations with Shopify and multiple communication channels. Plus, they consistently add new features and products.”
— David Noller, Customer Success Manager at TalentPop
The partnership onboarding process was seamless, thanks to TalentPop’s existing familiarity with the Gorgias platform. They focused on how best to collaborate over key business objectives, prospective clients, and leveraging the strengths of both partners.
“Having a dedicated Partner Success Manager from Gorgias has allowed us to focus on supporting our mutual objectives and has truly strengthened our partnership together.”
— Olivia Parker, Senior Partnerships Manager at TalentPop
TalentPop has helped hundreds of clients use and optimize Gorgias as part of its key service offering to deliver exceptional, seamless customer experiences and drive revenue from customer support.
Enhancing efficiency with intuitive layout and functionality
Gorgias’s intuitive interface and functionality are standout benefits for TalentPop’s clients. Clients transitioning from other help desks immediately appreciate the simplified navigation and enhanced efficiency.
Gone are the days of constant tab-shuffling and manual copy-pasting. Gorgias’s integrations with Shopify and social media platforms, Macros, and ticket insights provide centralized, joined-up data, streamlined processes, and data-driven insights.
“Our clients are excited when we show them Gorgias’s integrations and features, especially the ability to dive into the data. They appreciate valuable tools like ticket insights which enable prioritization and tracking.”
— David Noller, Customer Success Manager at TalentPop
Automating simple tickets to boost agent productivity
Gorgias Automate is particularly impactful for TalentPop’s clients. By automating responses to common, straightforward queries, agents can focus on more complex issues and higher-value customer conversations. Meanwhile, Automate’s instant answers improve response times and overall satisfaction.
For instance, the order tracking and management portal addresses a significant portion of customer inquiries. Quick Responses, multi-step Flows, and Article Recommendations further streamline customer interactions, providing immediate, helpful answers and valuable insights into customer needs.
Real-world success example: Silky Gem
After TalentPop persuaded Silky Gem to switch from using Zoho Mail and no help desk to Gorgias, they were able to automate 40% of the 5,000 monthly tickets Silky Gem receives. Michelle from Silky Gem praised TalentPop's exceptional team and Gorgias' transformative impact on their customer service.
Boosting sales with Gorgias Convert
Gorgias Convert has been another game-changer for TalentPop’s clients, increasing revenue generation. Strategic campaigns for abandoned carts and personalized shopper experiences have helped both small and large brands boost their sales.
Convert contributes up to 20% of daily revenue for small-to-medium brands, while larger brands benefit from personalized campaigns that increase average order value (AOV) through targeted product suggestions.
“Clients are constantly surprised and delighted by how effective Gorgias Convert is for revenue generation. They especially appreciate that Convert can be used to target a diverse range of customers across the entire purchasing journey.”
