What Customer Support Teaches a Marketer

Before digital marketing and business projects, part of my career was spent in customer support and analytical reporting. It's the part I draw on most.

Lessons that carried over

• The customer's words are the best keyword research.
• Response speed is part of the product.
• Complaints cluster — so do opportunities.
• Reports matter when someone acts on them.

Marketing dashboards show conversions and drop-offs. Support teaches you that behind each one is a person with a question you could have answered better.
