Why Your Support Team Is Your Most Underrated Growth Engine

Most companies treat customer support as a cost center. The best companies treat it as a growth engine. Support teams have direct access to what customers are struggling with, what features they wish existed, and what would make them leave for a competitor. That intelligence, properly captured and routed to product and engineering, is worth more than most user research budgets. Companies that invest in support tools, training, and feedback loops consistently outperform those that optimize support purely for ticket volume and handle time.
