I believe in providing the kind of support that's so good your customers will tell their friends about it--and providing you the tools you need to make this happen. Looking for assistance in getting your help desk, CRM, or sales software configured from A-to-Z? I'm here for you and your business! I have more than 10 years of experience implementing customer service software for projects large and small--including for teams using phone, email, social media platforms, and chat. In addition, I believe customers judge us not on the mistakes we make, but on the type of resolution we provide for them. Often times, how we fix a customer's problem is an opportunity to gain their trust for life. I love digging into an existing implementation and looking for ways your team can be more efficient while still keeping personal touches. I excel at automation and workflow configurations and improvements. I have expertise in all major customer service systems, including Gorgias, Hubspot Service Hub, Freshdesk, Intercom, Zendesk, Front, eDesk, Zoho, Helpscout, WordPress, Podio, Pylon, and more. I also specialize in channels like Slack Connect, LinkedIn messaging, Instagram and Facebook messages, SMS, phone, voice, and more. I am also an expert at sales CRMs, including Pipedrive, HubSpot Sales Hub, Freshsales, Zendesk Sell and Zendesk Sales Suite, Salesmate, and more. Additionally, I have expert-level experience in implementations of Shopify, ShipStation, ReCharge Apps, Bold Subscriptions, ClickUp, Asana, Google Keep, MS Office, QuickBooks, WaveApps, and numerous other cloud-based solutions. I also have substantial expertise in Zoom, Skype, Microsoft Teams, and Slack for any remote team/work consultations. Finally, automation with systems like Zapier and Make are one of my key specialities. They connect anything to everything! If you can dream it, I can build it. Some popular platforms I connect are phone systems like Aircall or Justcall and signing platforms like PandaDoc. One of my key projects has been leading a customer service team for a startup coffee subscription company, which experienced 450% growth in its first year. I also personally provided, for several years, luxury customer service for an independent hotel that, according to TripAdvisor, is one of the "Top 10 rated" properties in its country. One white-glove service I also offer, on a limited basis, is expert-level customer service for high-end clients for short-term events (such as before, during, or after a Kickstarter launch). I also have a separate team of people providing fractional customer service--please ask me about this! No matter your product or service, I will study all documentation you send me to become an expert so that I can provide exemplary, tailored service for your project. I do not shy away from projects that require technical knowledge, either. In addition, I am a native English speaker and a fluent Spanish speaker. Whenever I take on a project, I work to meet and exceed all expectations and requirements, and I always meet or beat a deadline. Let's provide your customers with support they'll rave about to their friends.

When your clients churn, your onboarding stalls, or your CRM is held together with workarounds — those are the problems I've spent 18 years fixing. I work with SaaS companies, fintech platforms, and growing businesses that need someone who can own the full client lifecycle. Onboarding, CRM setup, workflow automation, technical support, retention, renewals, and everything in between. Not as a generalist — as someone who has done all of it deeply, across real companies, for nearly two decades. At Bluroot, I onboard mortgage brokers and financial advisors onto a Zoho CRM-powered platform. I configure integrations, build workflow automations, set up triggers and scheduled actions, and stay with each client until the system actually fits their business. I don't hand over a manual and disappear. I stay until adoption is real. Before that, I spent five years as a Technical Support Analyst and Team Supervisor for Microsoft OneDrive and Office 365 at the enterprise level. I managed escalations, led root cause analysis, wrote KPI reports tracking CSAT and NPS, and implemented process changes that cut resolution time by 20 percent. I know what a broken support system looks like from the inside and I know how to fix it. At Manulife and John Hancock, I managed 150 or more corporate 401(k) plans for US-based clients inside a strict compliance environment. That trained me to handle high-stakes client relationships and sensitive conversations with precision that most customer success roles never require. I've also built and managed communities from scratch for three Web3 projects across Discord, Telegram, Twitter, and Reddit — handling pre-launch campaigns, live minting events, AMA moderation, and post-launch retention. I know how to build trust at scale. What you get when you work with me: clear communication, thorough documentation, consistent follow-through, and someone who treats your clients like they are my own. I've supported clients across six continents. Time zones are not a problem. Accountability is non-negotiable.
