Scaling is Simple
Help customers help themselves
Sometimes the best thing you can do for customers is get out of their way. Self-service with Zendesk empowers customers to get their own answers, which improves customer—and agent—satisfaction. But it can also impact productivity and profit. According to the experts at Gartner, setting up self-service can reduce support costs by up to 25%. So go ahead – let ‘em have it.
The Zendesk self‑service solution
The quickest way to quality content
A well-stocked knowledge base is the cornerstone of self-service, but putting one together can be a daunting task. Zendesk makes it easier by enlisting agents and your own customers to help. Customers can contribute directly via a Community, and agents can translate interactions within Support into articles in Guide using the Knowledge Capture app.
Automatically all about the customer
Customers expect self-service to be relevant, convenient, and fast. Delivering on those expectations is a constant challenge, but Zendesk makes it easy with simple point-and-click configuration. You can set up embedded content on mobile and web that serves up recommendations based on the customer’s recent history. Or fancier still, AI powered responses to questions that automatically match customer needs to the content that can help them most.
Self-service is the first step
Self-service works best when it’s seamlessly incorporated into the overall support experience. Agents benefit from easy access to knowledge they can use in responding to customers. And the business gets a complete picture of the customer journey, generating data to measure the impact of support and gaining insight into how they can improve.
