I'm Timo Rein, co-founder and ex-CEO of Pipedrive. AMA!

Hey Ravi, thank you!

Yes, at least 2 days for any role.

15% of the total staff.

It has definitely had its impact over the years.

  • First, doing support creates more awareness about the impact of not building the right features and helps tighten the bridge between product and operational teams - quicker feedback on customer wants and needs and better preparation ahead of any launch.
  • Second, it helps marketeers better understand our customer personas and communication style.
  • Third, roadmap will be impacted especially when there’s something off with a specific feature that requires improvement.
  • Fourth, product organization now has access to support conversation categories and knows in a quantitive way what product related questions and topics are coming in. That is always being accounted for during any product roadmap discussions.
