My first project was to switch our CRM from desk to Salesforce. I implemented Salesforce CRM and built a Salesforce community to host our help center website. I built the help center to be completely custom on salesforce, very few features are out of the box. I designed and worked with a team of front end developers to bring my self-service designs to life. I researched and designed self-service elements on the help center website to enhance search, customer effort, and self-service. I am proficient in front end web development on salesforce communities and helped to build and fix some of the custom components I designed. I implemented workflows within salesforce for article translations, updates, and new content requests. The self-service elements I designed for the help center took our Self-service scores from 55% to 80%. Meaning previously, 55% of visitors were able to find their answer on the help center without contacting support, and now 80% are able to find their answer without contacting support. This results in over a million dollars of savings on case work each year.
