Similar indeed — glad you went the marketplace model 💯

Literally almost built something like this previously—congrats on getting it live 🎉

You could do a Slack Connect Channel between the two to bring workflow functionality into the channel, I believe, if it’d be helpful for you. Then you could use Slackbot or Channel Expert to help you likely recommend the best people/person to tag in a situation based on the items in this profile/submission to highlight their skills.

What about internally?

Do you use Slack at all?

Not just SEO but AEO 🤩

Immediate thoughts:

— events promoted, badges awarded, certificates delivered, posts on social with badges, etc. Not wordsmithing the whole thing for ya, Zach H.

I created a showcase channel for folks to share their use cases for a product of ours that’s data rich and a high value touch point for us with members. Maybe there’s something like that for them to share their strengths/tech used/etc. to highlight their skills to educate and inspire others.

I’d go the other way — let your partnerships team lead this initiative and explain how they’ll be meaningfully integrated into the community experience for users of your product — through a “team page” with member profiles, invited to speak, etc. **Unless you also own partnerships 😂
