Why this exists

The workbook tells you what to do. This hands you the how.

After the 90-day roadmap, recurring operations still need clear documentation: SOPs a new hire can follow, a structured first-hire decision, and a tool-selection process aligned to team size and budget. Support Ops in a Box packages all three.

SOPs
structured procedures for recurring support operations.
5
helpdesk platforms compared side by side — by team size and budget.
1
hiring rubric that turns 'first support hire' from a guess into a decision.

What's inside

One box. Three structured operating tools.

  • A structured SOP library designed to support a first hire after your team reviews and adapts it
  • A scored hiring rubric and interview kit for the first support role
  • A tool-selection matrix comparing Zendesk, Freshdesk, HubSpot, and more by team size and budget
  • A companion to 90 Days to a Real Support Function — not a replacement for it
Day 91 and beyond

Build the function around written systems and clear ownership.

The SOPs are structured for consistent team adoption. The hiring rubric supports a clearer first-hire decision, and the tool matrix compares helpdesks by team size and budget. Those are the three operating tools included for the work that follows the 90-day roadmap.

The SOP Library

Structured standard operating procedures for triage, escalation, onboarding, incident response, and reporting — written for practical team adoption.

First-Hire Hiring Rubric

A scored rubric and interview kit for your first support hire — empathy, writing, technical depth, and ownership — so you hire on signal, not gut.

CRM / Helpdesk Tool Matrix

Zendesk, Freshdesk, HubSpot, Intercom, and others compared by team size, budget, and the workflows you actually run — so you pick the tool that fits your stage, not the one with the best logo.
