Such a good read <@U09E7QN7R27> + Gemma! I hope you feel better, I'm in the same boat with COVID for the whole family 🫠

Sorry, COVID brain 😷 yes, 11/20. Agree, I was thinking of you Cheyenne, since Irving is a bit closer to Arlington/FTW.

Does that work for everyone?

#dallas - September 30, 2025 at 12:51 AM

Looks like we have an unanimous decision of November 20! Have y'all been to Fortune House in Irving before or Royal China off Royal Rd?

#dallas - September 29, 2025 at 03:40 PM

Cool! Looks like Thursday work best for us! Let's do a new poll with options for November/December. One moment πŸ™‚

#dallas - September 27, 2025 at 02:20 PM

Also, plz excuse my missing S on Wednesday 😭

Ekkk this was always a tough one to nail down but what I've done before is:
β€’ if there are no breakouts, then we record that with professional videographers OR we used to just record the audio on Zoom at another company
β€’ If there are breakouts, then assign someone from your org who isn't presenting to be the dedicated "scribe" and capture feedback into different categories: challenges, feature requests, feedback - support, opportunities, follow up actions, open questions, etc
Last time I did this, I created a new tab in a google sheet and added the name of the attendees as a drop down category so whenever someone captured something they said, we can attribute who said the thing to properly follow up with them

Also, inviting @Maria Colusi who lives in both Dallas and Chicago πŸ‘‹

#dallas - September 26, 2025 at 11:40 PM

Ooo looks fun! Thanks Cheyenne for the invite!

I wish I could make it but it's my birthday week (10/24) so I'll be at a Halloween carnival that evening.

We should do something before EOY again tho! How about Nov?

Love that @Alexie Glover! Do you still include info on what they want to talk about? Do you mention to the customer that it's a private networking with a prospect?

Hi @Shelly Ryder, I really align with your thought process β€” I followed a similar approach during my time at ThoughtSpot, where I authored 400+ KB articles.

Many of those ideas came from:
β€’ FAQs our community members asked across multiple threads
β€’ Common questions raised during office hours with our professional services team
That work eventually evolved into a branded β€œSpotGuide” page within our community, which highlighted best practices recommended by our CS and PS teams. It became a scalable way to drive digital customer success.

I also developed a β€œSuccess Series”, a weekly webinar where we’d dive deeper into popular topics from office hours and User Group events. Many of those sessions also turned into articles, creating a strong cycle of knowledge sharing.

In past roles, I’ve typically partnered with product teams on shaping these type of strategic questions to validate whether our planned product/company direction aligned with future-looming customer priorities.

For example, if we were considering an AI-focused investment in our products, we might ask: β€œHow much is AI currently incorporated into your XYZ strategy?”

Other questions that come to mind:
β€’ β€œWhich emerging technologies are you prioritizing in the next 12–18 months?”
β€’ β€œWhere do you see the biggest opportunities to improve business outcomes with XYZ?”
β€’ β€œWhat challenges do you anticipate as you scale your XYZ strategy?”
@Daniel Palay - I know this is fresh on your mind with our upcoming CAB

I use Descript for clipping longer videos into smaller clips for social. I know that there's a way to record a video directly within the system, but I don't think there's a way you can give customers guest access to the system to be able to do that.

I believe there is a way to create a "Room" and then invite people to that room, but it wouldn't be "self-serve" or "async".

I've seen other tools that have done these testimonial videos, Slapfive and Deeto are two I can think of.

Hey @Mary Green (Owner CMAweekly), the calendar invite shows up on Tuesdays vs. Fridays

#general - August 29, 2025 at 07:02 PM

Thanks Mary for hosting, great convos! πŸ€“

#dallas - August 27, 2025 at 03:08 PM

Yes! I'm still able to make it. Been looking forward to it!

#general - August 21, 2025 at 09:08 PM

+1 my last company had built a custom Reference object in Salesforce and were able to correlate that to opportunities in Salesforce. Wasn't 100% purpose built for it, but got a good amount of the job done.

Before then, I used to use Slapfive for this, as they had their own widget within Salesforce for References

#general - August 21, 2025 at 09:06 PM

I love that! Miro used to do some really great "celebrating a new year" report. I published this blog during my time at ThoughtSpot where I highlighted the addition of product ideas which was something that we crowdsourced via the community in the first place.

#dallas - August 19, 2025 at 06:33 PM

+1 that, thanks Bria! Excited to link up + Amanda

#dallas - August 19, 2025 at 02:08 PM

Congrats @Cara Peterson and to Commvault! They gained a star ⭐

#jobs - August 09, 2025 at 12:09 AM

I'm sorry that was your experience πŸ˜” That's not the typical experience they strive to provide. I hope you were able to provide them with feedback in a post interview survey

#general - August 08, 2025 at 08:20 PM

Also, gotta plug in @Joel Primack's Community-Led Growth Show which was my intro to the man, the myth, the LEGEND 🐐

#general - August 08, 2025 at 08:20 PM

During my newborn days, I was super big into IB4TL on Spotify. It's def more community based, but SO good and filled with lots of Templates and Guides.

#jobs - August 08, 2025 at 07:09 PM

But shameless plug that Grafana is amazing and has a great culture πŸ§‘πŸš€

#jobs - August 08, 2025 at 07:09 PM

Hi @Mary Green (Owner CMAweekly), it's under the DevRel team as Community Management and Customer Marketing/Advocacy are two separate teams πŸ™‚

#announcements - August 06, 2025 at 06:51 PM
