Step 1: Ensure that you know who the product is for and why people will want to use it.

In the not-too-distant past, customer support was viewed as a cost center – a necessary, but non-profitable, part of a business. Today, more and more businesses are realizing the true bottom-line value that incredible customer service brings to a business – customer loyalty , retention, and advocacy to name but a few. In fact, customers don’t just seek out higher quality service – they’re willing to pay more for it.
