16 Questions With Obiex Support Team #CustomerServiceWeek

😁

We asked our Obiex Support Team a bunch of random questions, and their answers were...interesting, to say the least.

Customer Service Week is a worldwide celebration of the people who support and serve customers daily. Customer service, support and success are integral to any company, brand, or institution. However, we tend to forget that there are real people with hopes, dreams, feelings, and emotions behind the customer service departments and teams.

So, for Customer Service Week, we asked Monkey D. Luffy*, Sheila* and Precious* (*not their real names) from the Obiex customer support team 16 random questions to get an insight into how they think, feel, dream, and live.

Answers have been edited for clarity.
