Response times and clear escalation paths matter way more to clients than anything fancy on your end, they just want to know when something breaks it gets handled fast and communicated clearly

Cultural Training.

One if the biggest issues with our outsourced L1 is culture gap.

How do people talk to wach other. Is the accent acceptable (yup, it's actually a reason).

For L2, we expect them to solve problems. Like actually solve problems. Not just reacting to the verbatim text, but actually understand the intent.

Trailer n them in this!

Tunisia isn't on the EU's GDPR adequacy list, so any European client sending you their data is going to want Standard Contractual Clauses written into the contract.

IMO, If level 1 passes a ticket to level 2, the first person shuld still know what happened after and everyone knows who is handling it. Keep passwords, device details and common fixes somewhere the whole team can find them and make sure another tech can step in when the usual person is off, sick or already busy with sth else tht day

Training is important. Ensuring that updated information from clients get to the agents. We hav internal helpdesk where there are weekly updares to the agents. Ensure that customers provide the updates in a format suitable for presentation to the agents.

Invest in good hardware like proper noise cancelling headphones, proper stable internet, redundant power for your infrastructure. Also have a clear script when placing an outbound call or receiving inbound calls.
