Celebrating Thanksgiving: Honoring Customer Support Heroes with Zoho Desk
Thanksgiving is a time for gratitude, reflection, and appreciation. As we celebrate this thanksgiving, it’s important to recognize the unsung heroes of customer service—the Agents who tirelessly serve as the bridge between the organization and the customers. They play a critical role in embodying a company’s values, ensuring every customer interaction leaves a positive impression.
While technological advancements have revolutionized processes, nothing can replace the warmth of human-to-human interaction. The demands of customer service involve creating a balance between the organization and customer satisfaction. This requires agents to give their time, energy, and absolute focus.
The Challenge of Customer Support
Customer support is known to be one of the most stressful jobs globally. Agents not only solve customer queries but also represent the company’s values, often under immense pressure to meet tight deadlines and resolve complex issues. Despite their pivotal role, many agents feel underappreciated, leading to burnout and reduced morale.
ZylkerShop faced this challenge firsthand. With a growing customer base and a constant influx of queries, their support team delivered excellent resolutions. However, over time, agents felt their efforts went unnoticed, leading to exhaustion and demotivation.
Gamification: A Solution to Boost Morale
To address this, ZylkerShop’s admin explored Gamescope, a powerful feature within Zoho Desk designed to motivate agents and enhance productivity. Like the Gamification option Gamescope uses gamification principles to recognize and reward agents for their contributions.
Here’s how ZylkerShop leveraged Gamescope:
1. Setting Points and Trophies
First Response Trophy: Agents responding to tickets within five minutes received a trophy.
Quick Resolver Trophy: Agents closing tickets within an hour earned the Efficiency badge.
Happiness Rating Points: Agents achieving high customer happiness ratings were rewarded with 100 points, reinforcing the value of customer satisfaction.
2. Customizing Recognition Levels
Trophies were awarded for resolving tickets, preventing escalations, or conducting remote sessions to resolve issues quickly.
Badges were introduced to recognize agents who handled higher volumes of tickets or resolved more complex issues.
3. Encouraging Knowledge Sharing
Agents who published helpful articles for customers were awarded badges, promoting a culture of learning and knowledge sharing.
The Impact of Gamification
With these initiatives, ZylkerShop’s support team experienced a surge in motivation. Agents felt valued and appreciated, resulting in higher productivity and improved ticket resolution times. By fostering a sense of achievement, Gamescope transformed the way agents approached their roles.
Faster Ticket Resolutions: Tickets were resolved promptly, often without carryovers.
Improved Morale: Recognition boosted agent confidence and morale.
Enhanced Customer Satisfaction: A motivated team ensured customers received swift and effective solutions.
How Can You Leverage Gamescope?
If want to replicate ZylkerShop’s success, start by configuring the Gamescope option within your Zoho Desk platform. Here’s what you can do:
- Create customized trophies and badges for key milestones.
- Recognize actions like timely responses, high ratings, and innovative problem-solving.
- Use data-driven insights to refine your recognition programs continuously.
A Thank You to All Support Heroes
As we celebrate Thanksgiving, let’s honor the dedication and hard work of customer support representatives, who work tirelessly to be the bridge between the organization and customers, ensuring both parties thrive.
From all of us at Zoho Desk, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to support agents worldwide. Your efforts make all the difference.
Happy Thanksgiving from the Zoho Desk to your Desks!
Best Wishes,
The Zoho Desk Team

Mail, live chat, telephony, social media, web forms—there are so many support channels out there. Trying to pick the right channels to offer your customers can get pretty confusing. Emails are most useful when the customer wants to put things on record. However, escalated or complicated issues should not be resolved over email because it's slow and impersonal. When you need immediate responses, live chat is more suitable. It's also quick and convenient, so it's the go-to channel for small issues.Welcome to Zoho Desk Community - Say hello here!

Adding hyperlinks in CRM emails time automatically
It may just be me, but when I am writing an email to a lead, I find inserting a hyperlink very time consuming.

So since there was a way to quickly add records in the system no matter how many they are, we are also wondering if there is a quicker way to update these records to the correct "Lead Status".
