12 months free use of Zendesk!

by Startacus Admin

Zendesk are offering selected Startacus members who own / found a technology or internet startup company, 12 free months access to a Zendesk regular account valued at over $1000!

When we started Startacus, one of our core objectives was to make starting a business...well just that little bit easier.

We know that there are great ideas out there - being dreamt up every day by people just like you. We know too that when it comes to doing anything with those ideas, and making your business work well, it can be a whole different story.

So we are delighted today to announce our link up with global customer service champions Zendesk which gives select startups 12 months free use of Zendesk!

Zendesk is the leading cloud-based customer service software solution…but to me and you on the high-street, that means Zendesk brings all your customer conversations (emails..social media...calls...live chat) all in to one handy place for you to effectively manage.

Bearing in mind that providing, and being able to provide first class customer service is key to any startup business, we think Zendesk is a fabulous cloud-based solution that gives you the peace of mind, to act as professionally as your business ambitions.

But what does this Zendesk link up mean to you?

Well Zendesk (the good folk that they are) recognise Startacus as a growing platform for the idea maker, startup, self starter (that’s our phrase guys!) to help further incubate those startup businesses. Of course, we’ve a long way to go before we hit the dizzy zen-like heights of Zendesk...but…

Zendesk are offering selected Startacus members who own / found a technology or internet startup company, 12 free months access to a Zendesk regular account valued at over $1000!
