Professional services · 16-40 people · 40,000 tickets/mo · very slow AHT · full potential
Professional services support team: 23 agents for 40,000 tickets/month
Professional services queues skew toward scheduling and quoting, where a single missed handoff costs far more than a slow reply.
Verdict: Worth buying
- 0.3-month payback and 4.8x first-year return on a 16320/month platform fee.
- Headcount spans 12-21 agents across your industry's handle-time range. Measure your real AHT for two weeks before you budget - the band is usually wider than anyone expects.
- We phased the saving in over 12 months via attrition. Cutting 11 people on day one would cost roughly $271,682 in severance and is usually worse than phasing it.

This is one example. Get yours calculated.
These figures assume 40,000 tickets/mo. Leave your email and a person replies within one business day with the same evaluation for your actual ticket count and AHT — free, and fine to ignore if it is not useful.
