Expert Program

What is the Xfinity Expert Program?

The Xfinity Expert Program consists of Xfinity customers who are passionate and knowledgeable about Xfinity products and services.  Our Experts are recognized for their high level of technical expertise, their breadth of knowledge, willingness to help, and the ability to interact with other members in a helpful and engaging way.

Our Xfinity Experts are independent of Xfinity and come to the forum to share their thoughts, opinions, and experiences. Xfinity Experts come from a variety of backgrounds and have a wealth of knowledge they are willing to share with other members. Their varied backgrounds help to shape the Expert Program as well as the community as a whole in a positive and constructive way.

These Experts have spent many years in our community actively engaging with other customers. They volunteer their time just for the pleasure of helping others. Although it is not a requirement, our Experts also spend countless hours in the forum assisting our Official Employees. They go above and beyond for customers and are able to provide insight into what our customers are experiencing, keep us informed of hot topics, and ensure the community continues to meet the needs of our customers.

What I like helping with: Email

Bio: I started in the forums as just another customer, answering questions about email and browsers that I knew the answer to.  That went on and off for quite a while.  Then I was asked to become an Expert, and I accepted.  I have no formal IT background of any kind; I'm just someone who happens to like working with, and learning about email and things related to it.  I consider my work in the forum to be the same as any other volunteer work.  I was also a volunteer literacy tutor for 4 1/2 years.  Originally from Michigan, I am retired, and currently reside on the Gulf coast of Florida.

What I like helping with: Email, browser and related basic computer issues, and Xfinity Mobile Android.

Bio: I'm a former federal employee, retired since 2008. Got started on the web in the late 90s with a WebTV (later MSN TV). I bought my first computer, a Dell Dimension, in 2004. It had 512 MB of RAM and a 120 GB hard drive and was $1800.00!

I've always enjoyed helping others. I've been participating in various web forums for many years, and have found I tend to respond to more posts than I initiate. I've also learned a lot from answers to questions asked by others. My former job included time spent helping people all over the country. Now I get to volunteer some of my time doing that here in the Xfinity forums as a recognized member of the team.

I love tomatoes and black-capped chickadees.

Why would you want to be an Expert?

• Support Others – Many of our posters have tried multiple ways to get a resolution for their issue. By the time a user posts in the forums it is often their last hope. You can use your knowledge, skills, and expertise to help make some else’s day better.
• Connect with Others – By becoming an Xfinity Expert you have the ability to connect with other users and Comcast employees on a whole new level. Learn more about the inner-workings of Xfinity and the employees behind our great products and services. Our monthly Expert meet-up is a great way to meet other Experts on a face-to-face basis and communicate your thoughts and feelings in a more direct form.
• Be in the Know - Gain insight to new products and services offered by Comcast before the general public does. Have a say in how Xfinity products are shaped and how they will be offered to all Xfinity customers.
• See and Do More – Xfinity Experts have earned the privilege of having exclusive access to otherwise “hidden” areas of the forum. This means they have a private place to congregate and express feedback and chat in a private environment. Additional privileges include moderator functions within the community. Experts can move/remove posts and escalate advanced issues directly to our escalation team. We give Experts the first opportunity to trial new products and services to be offered by Xfinity.

How to become an Xfinity Expert

To start the journey of becoming an Xfinity Expert, simply register as a user of the Xfinity Help & Support Forum and just start answering users questions and author helpful solutions. We ask that all of our Experts answer questions in a smart, well-thought out, useful manner and we discourage speculation and posts that provide useless/unhelpful information.

As you contribute to the Xfinity forum you will notice that you will move up in "ranks". You can gain ranks by posting in the community, having your answers marked as Accepted Solutions, and by giving and receiving kudos. Just being a member of the community and interacting with other users (many of which will probably be our current Experts) will get you recognized for any outstanding support. Once you have shown that you are here to assist and support the community as a whole, other users and/or employees will nominate you to join the rank of Expert.

If you want to know more about the program or are interested in becoming an Xfinity Expert, simply private message me directly. Let the journey begin!
