Peer-based customer service
Many of the people who know your products best happen to be your customers. Jive service communities tap that collective experience, providing a place where customers connect, share their knowledge and answer each other’s questions. In effect, they become a part of your service team. Which means you can deploy your reps more strategically, focusing on the toughest cases and highest-priority accounts.
Case deflection
Support forums usually leave customers to fend for themselves, sifting through endless threads and documents in search of solutions. Not Jive. Built-in intelligence points users to the most helpful resources, surfaces the best responses in discussions and suggests answers to customers’ questions – before they create a case.
Team community
Give your team the same advantages you give to customers. Jive for Customer Service includes an internal community where your service reps can work together, share expertise and make everyone as smart as the smartest member. And thanks to Jive bridging, reps can easily pull in issues from the customer community, collaborate internally to solve them, and push the answers back to the public.
