Why Product Support Really Matters (And Why It’s Getting Harder)
Let’s be honest here. Your product support team is basically the face of your company after someone buys from you. They’re the ones who turn frustrated users into loyal customers, and they’re the ones who hear about problems before they blow up on social media. But finding people who can actually do this job well? That’s getting tougher every year. You need folks who can handle technical questions without sounding like robots, who genuinely care about solving problems, and who can stay calm when customers are anything but.According to a 2025 study by Qualtrics XM Institute, 72% of U.S. consumers say they would pay more for a premium experience when doing business with a company.1, so getting this right isn’t just nice to have anymore.
Here’s what we’ve learned working with companies across the US, UK, Australia, and Canada. The best product support specialists aren’t just tech-savvy problem solvers. They’re people who actually enjoy helping others figure things out. Our teams in the Philippines bring something special to the table.

And yes, they speak fluent English and understand Western business culture because they’ve been working with international companies for years.
