为什么建立社区对您有意义?原因有很多。一个强大的用户社区可以成为您的企业一笔宝贵的长期资产。这是不受时间和地理位置限制的重要知识来源。现在可以产生创意了 —— 例如功能请求和使用现有功能的不同方式。在线社区也是一种可扩展的方式,不仅可以帮助您与客户交谈,还可以在他们遇到疑问或故障时为其提供支持,当您的客户可以互相回复时,对您而言,这意味着有一个改进工单偏转的机会,从而降低支持成本。
在开启用户社区之前,有几件事需要做和考虑。
策略是什么?
您的业务目标以及您客户的目标最终决定了您构建社区的方式,以及社区所需的承诺和资源。例如,您的在线社区可以是公开的,也可以是排他的。无论如何,社区平台并不适合所有类型的客户和所有类型的企业,因此请务必考虑您要实现什么目标,以及要吸引谁。解决这个问题后,您将需要对功能和结构做出一些决定。您要:允许评论帖子和知识库文章、添加评论到公告和发布说明、开设一般社区问答、开设功能请求社区、创建提示和最佳实践社区吗?或者,您也可以像我们一样做到这一切!
谁来负责?
没有人在旁确保其保持高效工作,社区就不可能成功。换句话说,您将需要一名社区管理者。社区管理者应能够根据策略鼓励参与、推动增长并衡量成果。您的组织可能足够大,无法支持一个全职角色,但它更有可能由您的支持领导力兼任。就日常社区支持而言,您需要决定哪些专员将负责监测社区中发布的问题。专员可以自己提供答案,检查成员发布的答案是否正确,对于他们不知道的内容,他们可以指导特定的同事回复。可以是轮换分配,也可以是永久用户角色,但如果您不确定从谁开始,可以考虑寻找擅长互联互通的团队成员。
您将如何传达此目的?
当您准备好策略和资源后,您需要让每个人都参与其中。向组织中的其他有影响力的人解释您建立用户社区的目的,这样他们也可以出去引起对其他人的兴趣。成功的社区需要持续的市场营销来维持下去,因此要时刻做好推介工作。作为新员工培训的一部分,不要忘记谈论您的在线社区和期望。
审阅和指南怎么样?
如果您有一个小型社区,一个私密社区,或者您已启用内部客户的社区支持,则可能不必太担心不可靠的行为和审阅。只需要一份关于合理行为的声明即可。对于较大的在线社区,培养与最活跃的参与者的关系,并让他们承担一些审阅职责,可以获得良好的效果。考虑提供一个私密论坛,供您的审阅团队交流指南并开始讨论。
您是否营造了温馨的环境?
没有人喜欢在空无一人的房间里交谈,所以不要马上打开门。首先在您的社区中传播内容。完成后,邀请您的最佳客户早期采用者。当您向更广泛的客户群营销您的社区时,那里应该有足够的帮助内容和成员,这样他们就不会感觉就像是风滚草一样。
提示:如果您想向知识库中添加内容,请考虑使用“ 知识提取”应用 ,以将工单评论转为帮助中心文章。
是否有日常维护的流程?
您的支持社区是一个活跃的知识库,因此请创建一个定期维护计划。定期存档已过时的与服务相关的讨论串,并期望专员及时更新任何不正确的信息。
无论您要帮助的是企业内部还是外部客户,他们的个人背景和经历都有助于提高其同事的价值,并有助于您的组织学习。有针对性地建立您的客户社区,使其保持高效和有意义。

Hi 7269052973722, we also Zendesk for support and help center. We transitioned away from Gather for our community a few months ago but spent many years on it - I'd be happy to chat with you!

Hi! My support team uses Zendesk for support/Help Desk, but I'd love to see how we can upgrade and start using Gather. Any power Gather users out there that can lend 15 minutes to chat? I have been getting re-routed a few times through Zendesk and would love to chat with a human about this!

Hey Micah -
The user group pages are built on a different, third party tool. They're related in that both the Gather-powered forums and the User Groups are run by the community team and are different ways we offer our users to connect with one another. But the underlying technology are completely separate systems.

Hi Drew, thanks for getting back to me - those groups look great! One clarifying question: are these group pages ones that Zendesk has built separately and are unrelated to Gather functionality and actual community forum here?

Hey Micah B!
Happy to share info on all things, User Groups. You can visit our User Group site to find out more. If you're interested in joining a group, suggesting a chapter, or applying to become a Group Leader you'll find it all right there.

There are tons of great books on community building out there (People Powered, The Indispensable Community, Build Your Community, Building Brand Communities, and The Business of Belonging among them), and online training such as the CMX Community MBA.
Some things we've done (and are doing) here in our own community include hosting online events and publishing the recordings to YouTube, rolling out a Community page on zendesk.com, building and growing a group of external Community Moderators to help answer questions, working with our Customer Advocacy (support) and Product teams to improve responsiveness to questions and product feedback in our community forums, working on rolling out User Groups to provide new ways for our community members to connect, and last year we held our first Community Day event including awards for some of our most dedicated community members (stay tuned for another Community Day coming up). But one of the first things we did was to survey our community members to find out what was working for them and what we needed to improve on, which gave us great direction on where to focus our efforts.
Hope you find this helpful!

Any thoughts or resources you'd recommend when we are looking at revamping our Community, rethinking strategy, and giving this part of the tool more love so our users can benefit from it?
We are looking at a way to "revitalize" this part of Zendesk
Thank you!
