How Can We Manage Customer Requests More Effectively?
Asked by

My brother and I started a small tech product business in mid-2024, and we've been managing everything ourselves. Initially, things were slow, but now we're getting a steady stream of orders. Recently, we've been overwhelmed with messages across WhatsApp, Instagram, and chat popups, mainly about order statuses, shipping queries, and product questions. With just the two of us, it's been tough to keep up with all the inquiries. We've set up a basic automation tool through Profichat to gather everything in one place, but it's still a bit chaotic. I'm wondering if there's a smarter way to handle customer chats and how others managed similar situations during their early stages.

You might want to consider using an AI bot for customer interactions. Tools like Copilot Studio let you customize a bot to handle frequently asked questions and filter out the messages that actually need your attention. It'll save you a lot of time and let you focus on the more important stuff.

I've been in a similar boat. With just two of us working crazy hours, we often missed messages. What worked for us was setting limits—we replied to messages twice a day instead of scrambling to respond instantly. It turns out, most customers are understanding once you set those expectations! Don't push yourself too hard trying to be available all the time.
