Your customers aren't leaving because of your product; they're leaving because no one made them feel supported enough to stay. I make sure they stay. I'm a Customer Success and Support Specialist with hands-on experience across SaaS and e-commerce, the two environments where customer experience directly drives revenue. I work at both ends of the customer journey: setting users up for success from day one through structured onboarding, and protecting that success long-term through proactive account management, retention strategies, and fast, empathetic issue resolution. Across every contract I've taken on Upwork, I've maintained a 5-star rating and 100% Job Success Score, not by doing the minimum, but by treating every customer touchpoint as an opportunity to build loyalty. I've designed onboarding workflows that reduce friction and speed up time-to-value, managed post-sale account health across multiple customer segments, and built feedback systems that flag churn risk before it becomes a cancellation. Whether I'm onboarding a new account or resolving an escalation, my approach is the same: understand the customer's actual goal, not just their surface request, then act on it fast. I communicate proactively, document everything, and flag issues before they become your problem. Clients don't chase me for updates. I bring the updates to them. HubSpot · Gainsight · Salesforce · GoHighLevel. Zendesk · Gorgias · Gladly · Intercom · Shopify · Amazon Seller Central · ShipStation. Brightpearl. If you need someone who can own your customer experience, from first login to long-term renewal, send me an invite. I'm available and ready to start.

Customer Support & Customer Success Specialist for SaaS, AI, Tech & E-Commerce | Reduce Churn, Resolve Tickets & Keep Users Coming Back. Most SaaS founders don’t lose customers because of a bad product. They lose them because their help desk has no system, no speed, and no specialist managing it. If you are a founder still answering support tickets yourself, this profile is for you. Every unanswered ticket, every confusing onboarding email, every “I couldn’t figure it out” is a cancelled subscription you didn’t have to lose. That’s exactly what I fix. I am a Customer Success & Technical Support Specialist helping SaaS, AI, Tech, and E-Commerce companies improve user retention, reduce churn, and deliver 5-star customer experiences without the founder drowning in support queues. Here’s what working with me looks like: ◆ Help Desk & Ticket Management — clear, empathetic responses that resolve issues the first time, not after 3 follow-ups, while keeping response time and CSAT targets on track. ◆ Onboarding & User Retention — I walk new users through your product so they activate, engage, and stick around instead of churning in the first 30 days. ◆ Technical Support & Troubleshooting — I handle complex support issues, manage escalations properly, and make sure no ticket falls through the cracks. ◆ Knowledge Base & Documentation — SOPs, knowledge base articles, FAQs, and help desk documentation that cut ticket volume and reduce recurring questions. What I work with: Zendesk | Freshdesk | Intercom | HubSpot | Gorgias | Zoho | Salesforce | Google Workspace | CRM Systems | Live Chat | Email Support | Chat Support | Ticketing Systems | Live chat software | online chat support | Live agent | Product knowledge This is the right fit if you are: ◆ A SaaS, AI, Tech, or E-Commerce business scaling your support function. ◆An Operations or Customer Success leads who need a reliable specialist, not a coordinator. ◆A team that measures success in retention rates, CSAT scores, and churn metrics not just ticket counts. I don’t just answer tickets. I build the support infrastructure that keeps your customers and your revenue intact. If that is what you are looking for, let’s schedule a conversation.
