SOP template
What a support SOP is
A support SOP is a repeatable workflow for a specific situation—triage, escalation, billing, refunds, onboarding, or general inquiries. Agencies and ops teams use SOPs to keep quality consistent across regions and shifts.
What sections to include
- Purpose and scope; when the SOP applies.
- Ownership, tools, and access requirements.
- Step-by-step procedures with escalation triggers.
- Exceptions, metrics, and review cadence.
Example SOP structures
Refund SOPs often branch on eligibility, payment method, and region. Escalation SOPs define severity, on-call roles, and customer communication templates—AnswerBee can cite those templates when drafting replies.
Why SOPs reduce inconsistency
When everyone follows the same steps, QA improves and onboarding accelerates. Store SOPs in your workspace so draft replies can align with approved procedures.
