The Cost of Traditional Customer Support Models

Why reactive support models fail customers and overwhelm teams

Traditional customer support relies on phone calls, emails, and live chat staffed during business hours. This creates bottlenecks that frustrate customers and overwhelm support teams. When customers need answers outside business hours or have simple questions, they're forced to wait, creating negative experiences that damage satisfaction and loyalty.

Repetitive Questions

Support teams waste valuable time answering the same questions repeatedly instead of focusing on complex issues

Scaling Costs

Support costs scale linearly with customer growth, limiting profitability and business expansion

Business Hours Limitation

International customers face time zone barriers preventing them from getting timely assistance

Knowledge Silos

Valuable information trapped in individual agent minds and email threads, not accessible organization-wide

The Solution

A public knowledge base eliminates these inefficiencies by giving customers instant access to verified solutions anytime, from anywhere, while freeing your support team to focus on complex, high-value interactions.

Delivering Knowledge Where Your Customers Need It

24/7 self-service support that scales with your business

Accessible, Searchable Solutions

Salesboom's Public Knowledge Base transforms your organization's expertise into a searchable, accessible resource that serves customers, employees, and partners directly from your website. This self-service support approach saves time for both customers seeking answers and support representatives handling requests.

The system enables customers to access information 24/7 by providing them with reviewed, published, and publicly available solutions to common problems. All public solutions can be searched from your website or customer self-service portal, dramatically reducing the workload on customer support staff while improving response times from hours to seconds.

Solutions are created, reviewed, and published by support users directly from within their Salesboom account, ensuring content quality and accuracy.

Powerful Features That Enhance Self-Service Support

Everything you need for effective knowledge management

Intelligent Rating and Ranking System

Where knowledge gaps exist requiring new articles
Which articles need updating or clarification
Overall effectiveness of self-service strategy
