Why Lovepop turned to PartnerHero for seasonality
The challenge: Prior to appearing on Shark Tank, Lovepop had made attempts to create an internal customer support team. They employed several strategies, including involving their retail and headquarters teams in universal support efforts. Unfortunately, they faced obstacles related to scheduling, communication, and consistency. The team struggled to maintain regular hours, particularly since everyone was based on the East Coast. Bhav Raju, Senior Manager of Customer Happiness Operations, reflects, “When we participated in Shark Tank, we were told, 'You'll need a large customer support team. After the show airs, you can expect a significant influx of customer inquiries.' We required a solution that could scale with our growth.”
The solution: As Lovepop expanded, its collaboration with PartnerHero became increasingly advantageous. According to Bhav, it was more than just simplifying payroll management for a global team. “PartnerHero handled recruitment, training, and managed the entire onboarding process,” she explains. “Trying to manage that internally demands a substantial amount of resources.” Their success with PartnerHero in customer support led them to expand the partnership to include assistance with wholesale, B2B operations, and their finance team.
The results: PartnerHero has empowered Lovepop to address the rising demand for customer support while enhancing the quality of service overall. For more details, visit: https://www.partnerhero.com/customer-stories/lovepop.
