Integrate Your Vanilla-Community With Salesforce to Deliver Seamless, Efficient Support

According to a survey conducted by Gartner^[i], 62% of millennials and 75% of GenZ customers prefer self-service instead of seeking assistance from support reps. As a result, online communities that enable self-service are brimming in 2022.

Customers Love a Relevant Community That Makes Them Feel Heard

Millennials know what they want, and they’re vocal about their expectations from companies. In fact, more than 67%^[ii] of customers agree to prefer self-service option to calling or emailing support reps. Thus, the demand for digital, streamlined, mobile-friendly assistance is increasing.

Building and nurturing communities is essential for customer-facing businesses. But, customer needs are ever-evolving and an engaging community becomes essential to meet the changing customer needs. Thus, a vibrant Vanilla community can be your best bet. It can serve between 40-60% of your customers, raise the Net Promoter Score (NPS) by 20 points, and increase the overall customer experience.

Improving customer experience results in tremendous financial benefits. According to studies^[iii], more than 49% of organizations rely on their communities to cut down their customer support costs by 10% to 25% annually.

However, online community platforms can get overwhelming at the price of human assistance. “If you only work on the digital side and have understaffed, under trained, grudging customer support for the moments where your customer wants the human touch, the human insight, you will drive customers away as well,” writes Micah.

Your customers still need human assistance, especially if they are paying for support services or acing complex issues with elusive resolution.

One way to assist your consumers with expert help is to connect your community with CRM.
