Why Do Agencies Teams Have Different Ticket Volume Benchmarks?
Client relationships are the product. Agency support is not about resolving tickets — it is about demonstrating strategic value in every interaction, because clients who feel managed leave for competitors.
Agencies must provide white-glove service to multiple competing clients simultaneously, each expecting to be the top priority — managing perception and response quality across accounts is a constant balancing act.
