Outsourcing Assistant guide
Review support macros with a Philippines-based assistant
A topic-specific guide for a support lead maintaining saved replies for recurring customer questions, focused on finding answers that have drifted from the current approved policy.
Tie every macro to a policy source
Saved replies drift when no one can identify the approved rule behind them. Pair each macro with its source, owner, review date, and the customer question it is intended to answer.
Test against real tickets
Have the assistant compare a sample of recent tickets with the macro and mark outdated promises, missing conditions, or language that implies an exception. The task is comparison, not policy creation.
Escalate consequential wording
Refunds, delivery guarantees, regulated advice, and admissions require the support owner. Preserve the ticket context and explain the exact sentence that needs approval.
Keep the library usable
Remove duplicates only after confirming which owner and source remain authoritative. A small review log prevents the same outdated reply from returning under a new label.
Keep planning
