Peers Over Beers - Community Experts Podcast

Chris Detzel and Michael Sandoval talk about self-help. We believe that B2B customers prefer to self-serve in this digital age of the customer. Building an online community can help with this. We discuss the intricacies of what it takes to build a community that helps with support and what it takes to build a case deflected community. We also believe that if you are not on the first page of Google, when a customer asks a question about your product, you lose. On the other hand, if a customer searches on Google and does get the answer to the question they have about your product, then you win.

“With community, there’s a lot of opportunity from a digital standpoint, whether it’s helping your customers, powering SEO, or answering more questions.” Chris Detzel

“Without community, we would be in the exact same place as we were before – not really understanding our customers. We want to be where our customers are, and community allows us to help customers the way they want to be helped – in a digital way.”  Chris Detzel

“I want to make our community a hub using integrations, so that if customers want to create a case or look at technical documentation, it’s seamless for them. That’s a great digital customer experience. Instead, in a lot of companies like ours, customers have to go here, there, and everywhere to get some information. I see community as being that place that’s right in the middle.” Chris Detzel

"Let's understand where the community plays in the support story of your product." Michael Sandoval
