How many techs do you think is enough to handle large loads of clients via live chat and helpdesk?

I think you need to state how many people you plan to support etc etc. I handled over 400 by myself just fine. I believe if I ever want to see the sun or the outside world again, I will be hiring soon when more people come on board.

Hope this helps

I currently have 3 techs available, but we want to be committed to answering all requests in less than 45 minutes :)

How many customers do you think 3 techs will be able to handle comfortably.

3 techs available Hmm going on my stats I would say 1200 maybe more. But it all depends on your clients. And how much they know. It also depends on your FAQ's and online answeres etc etc

Hi!
Here's how we put it.
100 tickets per tech per day... This is reached after about 3 months of training and experience...

Also if you want 24x7 you'd need a minimum of 6 techs. Here's how it works.
3 shifts.. 2 per shift. As there are 6 people there would be 12 holidays per week. So for those 8 x 12 hours there would only one person. Otherwise 2 people...

However, remeber when you are starting do not over spend. Just get a little flexible and keep maximum holidays on days with lesser loads... And have someone on backup on those days.

I hope this helps.

Have a great day :)

Regards
Amar
