Bailey Nelson cuts first response time by 96% and raises CSAT to 90–95% with Intercom
Bailey Nelson's previous support tool created usability problems for customers and agents alike, generating a backlog of 100–200 unresolved tickets, multi-day response and resolution times, and no real-time satisfaction reporting — all while failing to meet the expectations of a young, tech-forward customer base.

Outcome
Bailey Nelson reduced first response time by 96% — from several days to under three hours — and cut average resolution time from three or four days to about four and a half hours. CSAT climbed from around 75% to between 90% and 95%, and 11–12% of customers now resolve issues through self-serve. The historic backlog of 100–200 tickets was cleared within a month.
