SAN FRANCISCO, CA — (Marketwired) — 10/07/14 — Get Satisfaction, the leader in online community platforms, today announced that Prezi is delivering rapid self-service support to its rapidly growing customer base using Get Satisfaction.
Prezi–s interactive, cloud-based presentation platform helps presenters connect more powerfully with their audiences. Prezi is able to scale its customer support and deliver the same fast resolution time — approximately 24 hours — to freemium users that paying customers enjoy from internal support staff.
Prezi reports that Get Satisfaction–s tight integration with the Zendesk help desk solution also helps reduce the overall number of support tickets. Premium subscribers are entitled to email support, but they often visit Prezi–s community when they have a quick question that–s better addressed with self-help. Likewise, freemium customers who come to the community to get their question answered can be directed to promotional content encouraging them to upgrade to the premium plan if they want additional support.
Today there are more than 40 million people using Prezi–s presentation software to improve how audiences see, remember, and understand a presenter–s ideas. When Prezi launched its community in 2009, it had the foresight to embed a Get Satisfaction community into its strategy. The then startup wanted an easy way to capture and act on product feedback from its users. As the company grew, the community–s strategic role grew with it, expanding into critical areas of customer support and peer-to-peer idea sharing. The community–s knowledge base contains 45,000+ topics that are instantly accessible for frequently asked questions. Today, Prezi has a dedicated team of community managers who oversee an English-speaking community with close to 60,000 members and two newer communities in Spanish and Portuguese.
“For many customers, the community is the first place, and sometimes, the only place they go,” said Georgina Spitzer, Support Manager, Prezi. “The wealth of information shared within our community helps to shape our decisions, discover new aspects of the product, and come up with new ideas,” said Spitzer.
“Prezi–s early adoption and evolutionary journey from a simple portal gathering product feedback to a vibrant community engaging and serving thousands of customers is almost a textbook example of the critical business role online communities have assumed,” said Rahul Sachdev, CEO, Get Satisfaction. “Customer support, product ideation, and product feedback ranked high among the findings of our recent on the benefits of online customer communities.”
