Metrics shape the way support teams work, but not every metric tells the full story.

In this episode, we’re joined by Meghan Gallagher, Support Operations Consultant and Founder of MG Consulting, to talk about how support teams can measure what actually matters. We discuss why common metrics like CSAT, first response time, and average handle time can be misleading when they’re used on their own, how speed-focused goals can create bad habits, and why support leaders should use data as a starting point for better conversations.

We also dig into better ways to measure support’s impact, including recontact rate, replies to resolve, customer sentiment, retention, product feedback, and team bandwidth. 

Plus, Meghan shares practical advice for telling a clearer story to leadership, motivating your team without burning them out, and revisiting your metrics as your support team grows and changes.
