Editor's Notes
- Iâm going to share with you a few words of inspiration that resonate with me in regard to my departmentâs experience and approach we take in using Zendesk.
- Sometimes you have to walk before you can run, in the beginning it can be awkward getting your footing and moving forward but when youâre determined youâll get there! What weâre committed to doâŚ
- We know customers are already using it, and will likely benefit from it being enabled from within the application.Positively impacts customer retentionEnabling self-service will allow us to respond faster, make knowledge more accessible, and will save precious time and resources to tackling more difficult questions and focus on being proactive with our customer base.
- We invest in our customers so that they feel confident building a relationship with us.
- When it comes to the initiatives we want to make our syndicated services more personable and our communications more transparent and proactive. This includes reaching out to clients for data and website issues that impact their use with the goal of being both proactive and as transparent as possible. Weâre also hoping to leverage new technologies to innovate in the way we interact with customers with the goal of building relationships and increasing retention.
- We know new customers will need to learn how to effectively use our products, so we nurture our customers with content showing them how to get value. Common resources includeOne SheetersTactical Step-by-step Nurture EmailsTraining InvitesPersonalized video messaging through Vsnap â working toward this with a PilotUsing Screenr to show customers how rather than simply telling them.
- These go out to new customers & are distributed to current customers alike.
- I know I shared a number of tips and tricks that my team has leveraged over the years, however⌠I thought Iâd throw in something weâve been collectively working on that might get you thinking about your company, your teams, and the impact that you can have on the experience of your customers and colleagues.
- These were some of the questions we answered together, from our answers we were able to vocalize some common themes. I then used these themes to articulate our team values.
