Should you even have a
Customer Success team?
Tom Weeks
Customer Success is a Mindset, not an
Organization
©2015 Apigee. All Rights Reserved.
A CS leader needs to keep the customer
lens focused on all parts of the organization.
3©2015 Apigee. All Rights Reserved.
And ensure that other organizations aren’t
internally optimizing, but customer
optimizing.
4©2015 Apigee. All Rights Reserved.
If done properly, Customer Success is NOT…
5©2015 Apigee. All Rights Reserved.
Voice of the
Customer
Customer
Advocate
Customer
Manager
But how do we know the STATE of the
Customer?
6©2015 Apigee. All Rights Reserved.
DATA
7©2015 Apigee. All Rights Reserved.
DATA scales, people walking halls does not.
8©2015 Apigee. All Rights Reserved.
DATA does not leave a company,
employees (and their knowledge) do.
9©2015 Apigee. All Rights Reserved.
So what should Customer Success focus on?
10©2015 Apigee. All Rights Reserved.
Focus on the #1 most important metric….
11©2015 Apigee. All Rights Reserved.
LICENSE BILLINGS
Customer satisfaction as the destination
does not pay the bills.
12©2015 Apigee. All Rights Reserved.
Billings as the destination will drive wildly
satisfied customers….
13©2015 Apigee. All Rights Reserved.
IF you focus on Billings thru DEMAND….
14©2015 Apigee. All Rights Reserved.
Customers buy your product because they
WANT to use it. Create the environment
where they want/need MORE, FASTER.
What are the key focus areas?
15©2015 Apigee. All Rights Reserved.
1) Journey Acceleration
16©2015 Apigee. All Rights Reserved.
2) Stall Management
3) Data Driven Expansion
