SaaS Companies 90-day fee/work pause

Your best engineer is answering 'how do I reset my password?'

Tier 1 support is 70-80% of your ticket volume — password resets, billing questions, feature how-tos. Your engineers shouldn't be answering these questions.

AI workers take over the routine work of this role, while your team keeps the judgment calls. AI workers handle support tickets, onboarding questions, and billing inquiries with managed routing and escalation.

Target go-live: about 30 days from kickoff. Your timeline is set in your SOW.

01 70-80% Tier 1 Ticket Volume
The challenge

Your support reality

Tier 1 support is eating your engineering bandwidth and your budget.

01

Tier 1 support is eating your engineering bandwidth

Your best engineers are answering "how do I reset my password?" instead of building features

02

Onboarding is manual and inconsistent

Every new customer gets a different experience, and 20% churn because they can't get started

03

Billing inquiries consume 15-20 minutes each

Your CS team is manually updating Stripe when 80% of requests are standard

04

A 6-8 person CS team still cannot keep up

Ticket volume keeps rising, with churn partly caused by slow support

Handled by AI workers

Routine workflows, handled by AI workers with a named person for exceptions

We don't assist with support. We handle it completely.

Tier 1 Support Resolution
Before — manual

Customer submits ticket → Agent reads → Agent searches docs → Agent composes response → Agent sends → Customer asks follow-up (3-4 tickets/hour)

After — handed to AI

Customer submits ticket → AI searches docs → AI synthesizes answer → AI responds with links → AI flags for review if needed (instant)

Customer Onboarding
Before — manual

Customer signs up → CS sends welcome email → Customer has questions → Back-and-forth emails → Customer forgets to complete setup → 20% churn (2-3 days to complete)

After — handed to AI

Customer signs up → AI sends personalized onboarding sequence → AI checks progress → AI sends reminders → AI handles questions → Human reviews exceptions

Billing Inquiries
Before — manual

Customer asks about invoice → Agent checks Stripe → Agent checks internal records → Agent composes response → Agent updates if needed (15-20 min per inquiry)

After — handed to AI

Customer asks → AI queries Stripe → AI drafts the answer → AI handles simple updates → AI escalates complex issues

Tools vs. workstreams

Why not just use [industry tool]?

Good question. Here's the difference.

Intercom Fin / Zendesk Answer Bot

AI chatbots for customer support

— Deflects simple questions but doesn't close tickets — customers still need human agents to resolve issues
Leverwork

Leverwork closes tickets completely — AI resolves billing questions, onboarding issues, and feature questions without human handoff.

Stripe Billing portal

Self-serve billing management

— Handles self-serve billing but doesn't help with onboarding, feature questions, or general support
Leverwork

Full integration with Zendesk, Intercom, Stripe, and HubSpot. End-to-end customer support automation.

Offshore support teams

Human support

— Timezone handoffs, quality control, training, and turnover make consistency hard to maintain
Leverwork

AI follows the same support policies and escalation rules on every ticket.

Illustrative scenario

A $14M ARR SaaS company with a customer success team buried in tier 1 tickets — password resets, billing questions, feature how-tos — could expect Leverwork to take over tier 1 support, onboarding questions, and billing inquiries, with CSMs focused on strategic accounts and engineers out of the support queue.
Illustrative scenario
Honest fit

Is Leverwork right for you?

Honest answer: sometimes we're not.

This works best if…

  • SaaS companies with $5M-$50M ARR
  • Companies using Zendesk, Intercom, or Freshdesk
  • Teams spending 40%+ of CS time on tier 1 tickets
  • Products with high support volume relative to account size

Not ideal if…

— Products with fewer than 200 support tickets/month, highly complex enterprise software requiring dedicated CSMs, or products where most support requires live debugging. Also not ideal if you want AI to assist (not replace) your support agents.

Put AI to work. Keep your people leading.

A full-time AP / bookkeeping seat costs about $68K–$74K a year in wages and benefits (our estimate from BLS 2025/2026 data). Your assessment estimates the numbers for your business. 90-day fee/work pause on agreed SOW metrics

A 20-minute call. We'll show you which seats AI can take over — and where humans stay essential.
