Jenny, 25 years old.
Looking for shoes to wear ather sister’s wedding.
Doesn’t want to end up bare footbecause the shoes are killing her.

This is a review taken from Zappos’ website
Customers can rate «comfort» and since everyone has different feet they can also describe how the shoes fit

ONLINE SUPPORT COMMUNITIES
Forums where customers can ask the community about issues they encounter with a product

I.T BRANDS ARE ALREADYreally good at it
they allow people to connect in different ways (so it is not all about doing customer service’s job)
and they congratulate most engaged users
![Page 16: Back to the future of customer service / Part 1: Peer to Peer customer support](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060108/554cf687b4c905ae138b4f79/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

PEOPLE TRUST THEIR ONLINE PEERS MORE
79% trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations

MADE MISTAKES... and some of them
agents that don’t have a good grasp on the
language
call centers management methods putting quantity
before quality difficult coordination with other company’s departments
![Page 23: Back to the future of customer service / Part 1: Peer to Peer customer support](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060108/554cf687b4c905ae138b4f79/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
CUSTOMERS ARE SURPRISEDNow,
when the agent on the phone
SPEAKS GOOD ENGLISH

The only thing they do is
REWARDING TOP CONTRIBUTORS
USING GAMIFICATION
That’s another trend
![Page 29: Back to the future of customer service / Part 1: Peer to Peer customer support](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060108/554cf687b4c905ae138b4f79/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
WHAT IS GAMIFICATION?
.oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
10 pts
Everytime the customer posts a useful review...
... he gets a point...
... and the more points he has, the better his ranking in the community
![Page 30: Back to the future of customer service / Part 1: Peer to Peer customer support](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060108/554cf687b4c905ae138b4f79/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
FROM VIRTUAL POINTSTO REAL DISCOUNTS
Rewards can vary,
Discounts can create more engagement but lower quality of content (so you have to monitor the answers a bit more)
![Page 31: Back to the future of customer service / Part 1: Peer to Peer customer support](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060108/554cf687b4c905ae138b4f79/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
For example, Lithium includes gamification through «kudos» in its social
(P2P) support solution

BUTyou CAN’T delegate allcustomer service issues
to your customers
![Page 34: Back to the future of customer service / Part 1: Peer to Peer customer support](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060108/554cf687b4c905ae138b4f79/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
THINK ABOUT IT THIS WAYHow can you bring value through
customer service?
IN OTHER WORDSWhat will make customers come to you
and not their peers?
![Page 35: Back to the future of customer service / Part 1: Peer to Peer customer support](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060108/554cf687b4c905ae138b4f79/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
