Telecom support team: 16 agents for 65,000 tickets/month
Telecom support is billing- and provisioning-heavy with high repeat-contact rates, making it a prime target for self-service deflection.
Verdict: Worth buying
- 1.7-month payback and 1.5x first-year return on a 7956/month platform fee.
- Headcount spans 21-42 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.

These figures assume 65,000 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.
