Since 1994, Mede’s sole focus has been on helping organizations manage the financial health of their business by helping users gain insight into disparate data sources to help monitor and optimize their use of the existing technology.
Our clients consider us not only as an innovator but also a healthcare pioneer and we were one of the first healthcare companies to offer a true PaaS/SaaS solution.
Our focus since the beginning was to make the data clear, actionable and collaborative.
ClearCare is front and back office business automation software for home care agencies. These are companies that provide companion, personal, and specialized care to aging adults so that they can stay in their homes and age in place. Largely private pay, with some Medicaid and VA
Our opportunity is to help to transform aging by providing technology to an important and often overlooked industry that is the largest institutional provider of health care to the highest cost patient population
Our space got some attention recently when A16z invested in Honor, a direct to consumer marketplace play in the space... the direct to consumer Uber model for home care
ClearCare is a 4 years old, series B, vertical SaaS play
Mission is very important guidepost; in decision making process we always ask whether we are fulfilling one of these three objectives
Three pillars of Customer Success
Transition to CC, configuration, launch, TRAINING
Critical – first experience with the customer
Learned that not all customers are equal
Tech savvy or not
Open to change or not
Self service vs high touch; phone and hand holding
At the end of the day you have to over invest in this phase
Inbound customer support
Classic call center in early days
Scaled helpdesk with KB, in-app, self service
Post-launch business partnership
White glove support
Business partnership
Churn reduction and upsell
KEY SLIDE
B2B for SMB market that is heavily franchised.
Not a technically savvy customer base, in many ways has shades of B2C.
Our challenge is to help a late adopter vertical to leap frog several generations of technology, a market that doesn’t always know it needs to do this, and sometimes vocally resists.
We have roughly 100 employees and 2000 customers, so we have taken a segmented approach to our customer base to make the most of our resources and execute a coherent strategy
Enterprise Accounts and Franchisors
Old school AM, senior people
Relationship building, in-person
Strategic, shades of Consulting
Special challenge: 3-way relationship with Franchise customers
Big customers (80/20 rule)
Usually big because of MRR, but could be industry influence
White glove service, junior team with tech enabled process in Gainsight
Product feedback loop for features, new products
Trick is whether their needs apply to most customers or not?
The rest

Webinars, events

Gainsight solves this problem for us in a big way
