Still Treating Customer Success as Support?
In today’s hyper-competitive market, Customer Success is no longer just about putting out fires or managing churn—it’s about anticipating needs, driving value, and building long-term relationships. Companies that continue to treat CS as a support function are falling behind.
Why the shift? Modern customers expect more than responsive service; they expect guidance, insights, and outcomes. That’s why Customer Success is evolving into a growth-centric function, tightly aligned with revenue, retention, and product development.
Key steps to becoming proactive:
- Customer Health Scoring: Move beyond satisfaction surveys. Incorporate usage patterns, support history, and engagement data.
- Onboarding Journeys: Map and automate onboarding workflows that drive early value realization.
- Playbooks for Risk & Opportunity: Create action plans for churn risks and expansion triggers.
- Executive Alignment: Involve CS leadership in strategic decision-making across the business.
