Top 5 Slack Communities for Customer Success Professionals

If you work in the tech world you’ve certainly heard of Slack even if you haven’t used it before yourself. Slack has transformed business communication. It’s the leading channel-based messaging platform, used by millions to align their teams, unify systems, and drive their businesses forward.

When we think of Slack, we usually think of it as an internal communication tool, however many people do not realize it can also be used for external communication as well. Thousands of user-created Slack communities exist that allow people to virtually meet and discuss a certain topic or practice.

There are a number of Slack communities that have been created specifically for Customer Success professionals. These Customer Success communities are used to discuss emerging CS topics, share best practices and resources, and even provide networking and job posting capabilities.
