Hiring considerations

Support quality depends on product knowledge. Budget for real training time and give the assistant a test account to use. For go-to-market roles, define your ideal customer profile and provide examples of good outreach before starting.

Example workflow: onboarding

1. A new customer signs up.

2. The assistant sends a welcome message and offers an onboarding session.

3. They walk through core setup and log questions.

4. After thirty days, they check in and pass expansion signals to sales.
