Community Updates

I've struggled to find the best option for a Companion site for CMAweekly. I decided to go with Circle.so as a content site, it seemed easier than WordPress. I had several volunteers offer to help me with testing. But almost immediately Zach from Tightknit reached out and we are going to work with his Slack focused app instead πŸ˜„

Tightknit will be a sponsor and we will hopefully have a much better process for Events (finally... sigh of relief).

I'll be adding our community to the Tightknit companion site this week. Please share questions, ideas, etc here.

I don't have one. I do have opinions though πŸ˜„

#announcements - June 27, 2025 at 04:36 PM

@everyone No call today, we had to reschedule.

Also no call next week. It's a holiday - enjoy your freedom!!

We are officially onboarding for a new site/platform, so our next planned event will be posted there πŸ˜„

Oooh, I didn't know about that @Kevin Lau, awesome.

#general - June 20, 2025 at 04:24 PM

@channel ⬆️ 2PM EDT lu.ma/cmaweekly to rsvp

#general - June 20, 2025 at 04:23 PM

We will still be discussing Reviews today!! Join us at 2PM EDT with questions, insights, and ideas. (How fitting that we can discuss the new acquisition of TrustRadius, too).

#general - June 20, 2025 at 12:56 AM

What is HG insights?

#general - June 19, 2025 at 07:08 PM

TY for sharing @Sarah McCoy - sounds like a situation for enablement.

#general - June 18, 2025 at 08:24 PM

LET ME KNOW if you want to do a call @Kevin Lau

#general - June 18, 2025 at 03:11 PM

This is a great topic about managing references but taking time off too. Thoughts anyone?

#general - June 18, 2025 at 03:10 PM

Was <@U08MBG24LRM>? What happened?

#announcements - June 18, 2025 at 02:54 PM

Hi all @everyone I'm working on setting up a new tool for CMAweekly. I need some volunteers!

DM me your email if you want an invite.

This will not replace Slack - but I will send some slack messages there as Top Content

Features included:
β€’ Profiles with your content - FINALLY - one of my fave people has wanted this for awhile πŸ˜‰ @Alexie Glover
β€’ Events with RSVPs, notifications, hosts, and sponsor areas.
β€’ Sponsor spaces to learn more about each of them.
β€’ Resources, recordings, automations
β€’ Ai for a knowledgebase, I'm hoping this will be based on our Slack
β€’ Space to go Live
β€’ Courses and more.
I'm setting it up now, and slowly adding content, but happy to invite some people to make suggestions.

TY!

Are you a Peerbound user? Someone has questions in <#C04KPMMKQSF|> (you must ask for access to be added, all discussions are confidential).

#10-community - June 18, 2025 at 01:58 PM

We didn't do this on our new community but if customers really wanted it, then we would have.

#general - June 18, 2025 at 01:57 PM

Oh that's so good to hear!

#10-community - June 18, 2025 at 01:57 PM

It does sound like the new company is going by their playbook. Strip out CS, add Ai, etc. With Influitive we also saw them over pricing for contract renewals and it felt like a manuever to get rid of the lower paying company customers.

#general - June 16, 2025 at 08:36 PM

If you were new to a company and had to choose a tool to collect all advocates info and their respective content; what would you use today? (Someone is asking in no-vendors)!

#general - June 13, 2025 at 06:02 PM

We are on at https://us06web.zoom.us/j/4029861639

#general - June 13, 2025 at 05:06 PM

Who's joining to talk about References today? 2pm edt https://lu.ma/rbe8p48i

Next Friday we discuss Reviews with a special guest @Camille Shortridge from Zoom

It's not easy to run a business, and in the tech world, things have changed so much in the last few years, a lot of companies are trying to get to profitability and can't seem to figure out the best approach to post sales success.

#10-community - June 12, 2025 at 02:41 PM

😞

#10-community - June 12, 2025 at 01:50 PM

This is frustrating to hear, I wish I could understand what drives companies to sell to this specific PE, but they must offer a higher payout, for a struggling company... not that I would even know how to define what makes the company struggle.

That said, I would recommend that anyone on Khoros start researching what comes next, how will they manage these things (as seen with Influitive):

  1. Major price increases
  2. Very little success support
  3. Very little or no growth, product map, etc
  4. Contract negotiations and demands months before the end date
  5. AI everything, for support, success, in their product, everywhere
  6. Finding an alternative solution and getting it set up quickly

#general - June 12, 2025 at 01:06 PM

I use Otter.ai

#general - June 10, 2025 at 06:51 PM

I'm so excited to see this #win - we need to share more of these. What is your win this month?

Congrats @Taylor Page - you bring such great insight to the community.

#jobs - June 10, 2025 at 06:24 PM

I have done some quilting. Is that what the company does?

#general - June 10, 2025 at 06:23 PM

I haven't heard of it. What do you like about their marketing or content that makes you interested?

#announcements - June 10, 2025 at 06:21 PM

It is being recorded πŸ™‚ TY for wanting to come @Rachel Bonistalli and ty for being on the call <@U08E9JC8TB4>

#10-community - June 10, 2025 at 06:19 PM

Feverbee is my absolute favorite resource site for Community. He puts into words the things I don't take the time to write. And I learn a lot from Richard too.

I follow this guide for creating almost every community. https://www.feverbee.com/strategy/

#10-community - June 10, 2025 at 06:05 PM

happy to help

#general - June 10, 2025 at 06:02 PM

We are on with Deeto and @ https://us06web.zoom.us/j/4029861639

#9-lifecycle-expansion - June 10, 2025 at 03:30 PM

Could either of you hop on a call soon? @shetal27 and @Rachel Ward, I can plan a roundtable.

#general - June 09, 2025 at 10:10 PM

I’d love that! @Emily Coleman

#general - June 09, 2025 at 04:27 PM

#jobs - June 09, 2025 at 02:22 PM

Thanks Ari, how are you? Do you know anyone at Swooped?

#jobs - June 09, 2025 at 02:22 PM

TY for sharing this! Salary negotiations can be so tough.

#general - June 06, 2025 at 06:02 PM

We are on for Open Discussion @here https://us06web.zoom.us/j/4029861639

#general - June 06, 2025 at 05:07 PM

Usually it’s someone who wants feedback from a customer. You know… the P2P aspect. 😁

#announcements - June 06, 2025 at 04:23 PM

Just sent an email for Subscribing to our Events - I hope the options help. πŸ˜„ See you all in an hour and a half, on Zoom - bring your topics.

#general - June 06, 2025 at 02:28 PM

We have questions about UserEvidence and ReferenceEdge in no-vendors! Can you help?

#general - June 06, 2025 at 02:28 PM

That is massive!!

#10-community - June 05, 2025 at 02:17 PM

Nice. Any program ideas come to mind?

#general - June 04, 2025 at 09:11 PM

I’ve heard of tools but you’d want to test them to see how you like the work.
