Top-notch Support

In recent weeks I have transitioned from the Presales team building prototypes to the Support and Professional Services Team assisting our existing customers and it really got me to thinking about Support.  When I was first learning Excel, I had to rely on my colleagues to get my questions answered.  I was limited in expanding my skills by what my colleagues knew.  Sure, I could have gone to Excel training but I was already working long hours and certainly couldn’t fit in training to my schedule.  I could have Googled my question and tried to sift through the hundreds of answers that came up.  But generally, when I had a question about a formula or how best to design my process, I really would have liked to call up an expert or click a link and started a chat to get my question answered quickly and easily.
