Design customer service operations including tiered support (L1/L2/L3), response templates, SLA definitions, escalation procedures, and complaint handling. Use this skill when the user needs to set up a CS team, create service standards, design escalation flows, or improve response quality — even if they say 'our CS is a mess', 'how should we handle complaints', 'set up support tiers', or 'create CS SOPs'.

IRON LAW: Tier the Support, Not the Customer
Every customer deserves quality service. But not every issue needs a
senior specialist. Route by ISSUE COMPLEXITY, not by customer "importance."
L1 handles 70-80% of volume (simple, repeatable)
L2 handles 15-20% (requires expertise)
L3 handles 5% (requires engineering or management)
Three-Tier Support Model
| Tier | Handles | Skills Required | Resolution Target |
|---|---|---|---|
| L1 (Basic) | FAQ, order status, password reset, simple returns | Script-following, product basics, empathy | < 5 minutes, first-contact resolution |
| L2 (Specialist) | Technical issues, billing disputes, complex returns, product defects | Deep product knowledge, judgment, negotiation | < 24 hours |
| L3 (Expert) | System bugs, legal/compliance, executive escalations, crisis | Engineering, legal, or management involvement | < 72 hours, case-by-case |
Case Categorization
| Category | Examples | Priority | SLA (First Response) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Critical | Service outage, security breach, safety issue | P1 | < 15 minutes |
| High | Payment failure, account locked, order error | P2 | < 1 hour |
| Medium | Product question, feature request, general complaint | P3 | < 4 hours |
| Low | Feedback, suggestion, general inquiry | P4 | < 24 hours |
Complaint Handling: LAST Framework
- Listen: Let the customer express fully without interrupting
- Apologize: Acknowledge their frustration sincerely ("I'm sorry this happened")
- Solve: Offer a concrete solution or next step
- Thank: Thank them for bringing it to your attention
Escalation Rules
| Trigger | Escalate To | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| L1 can't resolve in 15 min | L2 | Immediate warm handoff |
| Customer requests supervisor | L2 or Team Lead | Within 5 minutes |
| Issue involves refund > NT$X | L2 (approval authority) | Same interaction |
| Legal threat or media mention | L3 + Legal + PR | Immediate |
| Repeat contact (3+ on same issue) | L2 + investigation | After 3rd contact |

Gotchas注意事項
- SLAs must be MEASURABLE: "Respond quickly" is not an SLA. "First response within 1 hour for P2 tickets" is. If you can't measure it, you can't manage it.
- Warm handoff > cold transfer: When escalating, the L1 agent should brief L2 before transferring. Forcing the customer to repeat their story destroys satisfaction.
- Empower L1 with resolution authority: If L1 must escalate every refund, 70% of volume goes to L2 unnecessarily. Give L1 authority for refunds under a threshold (e.g., NT$500).
- Templates are starting points, not scripts: Robotic copy-paste responses feel worse than no response. Agents should personalize templates to the specific situation.
- Taiwan CS expectations: Taiwan customers expect fast LINE response (within minutes during business hours), polite and apologetic tone, and willingness to go the extra mile. The bar for "good service" is high.
