Ask someone who has configured it before you pay someone to configure it
Zendesk is not hard to buy and it is easy to end up with a version of it nobody understands. Triggers added by people who have left, macros nobody uses, service level policies that do not match the hours the team works, and dashboards that get exported to a spreadsheet anyway.
The mentors on this page run Zendesk day to day. They are not resellers and not implementation partners: they are support and customer experience leaders whose own teams live in it. They have done migrations in both directions, built help centres in Guide, and worked out which of the AI features are worth turning on.
Bring the specific thing. A trigger tangle you are afraid to touch. Business hours and service levels that do not reflect reality. A help centre with two hundred articles and no structure. A migration you have been asked to scope. Whether to add AI agents, and what to measure if you do.
Thirty minutes with someone who has already done it is usually cheaper than a statement of work. Your first call is free.

Questions people ask before booking
Is the first call really free?
Yes. One 30 minute call with any mentor, no card and no trial to cancel. Membership after that is one price for unlimited calls.
Are these mentors Zendesk partners or resellers?
No. They are support and customer experience people who use Zendesk in their own teams. Nobody on this page is paid by Zendesk or takes a referral fee.
Can a mentor go into our instance with us?
A session is a video call and most mentors are happy to look at a shared screen. They will not ask for admin access to your instance, and you should not give it.
We are choosing between Zendesk and something else. Can they help?
Yes, and several will argue against Zendesk for your case. Mentors CX also has a page of Intercom mentors if you want the other side of the same question.
