💡 3 Actionable Insights from Alex Jorgensen
1. Run Internal Roadshows to Build Buy-In Across Teams
Quarterly internal updates aren’t just nice—they’re necessary. Hosting regular roadshows with teams like Sales, Product, and Customer Success helps them understand how community supports their goals and keeps community top-of-mind when decisions are being made.
2. Use an Unanswered Question Program to Spark Engagement
If your forums are collecting cobwebs, it’s time to clean house. Regularly pull reports on unanswered posts, then loop in subject matter experts or active members to respond. Add gamification—like leaderboards or small incentives—to keep internal contributors engaged and accountable.
3. Audit Before You Migrate Platforms
Before signing on the dotted line with a new community platform, conduct a full audit of your current one. Know what content is worth keeping, what features actually matter, and what your members need most. Don’t migrate the mess—migrate with intention.
