A podcast for CX leaders scaling ecommerce support

CX After Hours is a podcast for heads of customer experience, support managers, and ecommerce founders who actually have to run the function. Every episode is an unfiltered conversation with an operator who has scaled a CX team: the real decisions behind AI automation, helpdesk migrations, team structure, retention, and the trade-offs that do not show up in a case study.

We cover the topics CX leaders spend their weeks on: automating customer support without wrecking CSAT, reducing ticket volume with AI agents across email, chat, Instagram, and SMS, choosing between Gorgias, Zendesk, Kustomer, and Salesforce Service Cloud, structuring a team that can scale from 10k to 100k tickets a month, turning support data into insight the rest of the company uses, and why the best customers churn before they complain.

If you lead a customer experience function at a DTC or retail brand, this show is built for you. New episodes drop every two weeks. Subscribe below to get each one in your inbox.
