How to Build the Ultimate Customer Success Board PresentationGainsight
Is there anything that causes more sleepless nights or gray hairs than planning a presentation before your Board of Directors? There’s so much riding on it, from your next fiscal year budget to near-term headcount to (potentially) the future of your career at your company. You know that every slide, every sentence, every chart and figure will be closely scrutinized.
Our all-star panel has been on both sides of this key business event, and they know exactly what you need to do to prepare and execute a flawless presentation for your board. Alfonso de la Nuez is CEO of UserZoom, a highly customer-centric company. Kristina Shen is a partner at Bessemer Venture Partners, and no stranger to receiving presentations on Customer Success. And finally, Nils Vinje is VP Customer Success at Rainforest QA and founder of Glide Consulting.
In this webinar, you will learn:
The top three things every CS leader should include in their deck
What board members really want to know about Customer Success
How to blend metrics, tactics, and strategy into a seamless presentation
And much more
Too often membership programs are siloed or do not get the internal support membership efforts deserve. Competing for internal resources, institutional email schedules, IT, and limited marketing resources can stifle membership’s full potential.
Case Study: History Colorado
The campaign integrated traditional direct mail and on-site sales with a series of social media contests, a mobile scavenger hunt, and an interactive Facebook tabs to expose audiences to History Colorado’s mission and membership messaging.
Case Study: Museum of Science, Boston
Leveraging digital marketing, the Museum acquired new gift givers and members from untapped sources. Successes included testing a set of messaging and offers, leveraging website retargeting and Facebook advertising, and reaching new audiences through an expanded email program and a partnership with a local parents magazine.
Best Practices
• Use social media contests to raise awareness, drive traffic to membership webpages, and capture prospect data
• Invest in highly targeted advertising to reach new and existing audiences
• Thread in mission-oriented messaging throughout
• Capture member stories
• Integrate online/offline
• Support with PR
• Ensure all touch points use the same message, creative, across channels
• Email is a critical channel to tie everything together
A Seat at the Table
Membership should be involved in:
• Shared goals, metrics, schedules, and reporting
• Google Analytics for membership pages (traffic and conversion goals)
• Google Grants and display advertising strategy
• Email communications schedules and use of in-house lists
• Landing pages, e-commerce systems, and product packaging
• Social media strategy and content management

Contractors
Criteria when hiring –
Outgoing - will approach visitors, initiate conversation
Enthusiastic; enjoys the contact
Enjoys competition
Hourly rate or incentive-based
Staffing
9. Importance of regular trainings & up-to-date sales
manuals / materials

exhibition

together
Messaging – the pitch
Training

Visitor Incentives
12. Several ways to calculate conversion:
All Members / All Visitors
All Members / ‘Convertable’ visitors (all visitors less groups,
students, children, current members, etc.)
All Members / Households (total attendance divided by average
party size)
Members / Exhibition/festival/event ticket buyers
Example: 1,400 memberships sold / 35,000 visitors = 4%
2%-4% is a typical conversion rate goal
Choose the best method for your institution, then stick to it!
Measuring Conversion Rates
13. Sales per hour or sales per day
Especially during ‘blitz’ situations
Essential calculation when working with outsourced staff
Average gift size
On-site sale average gift is often less than other sources

On-site members often renew at a lesser rates
First-year members who joined on-site are the toughest
to renew… be prepared with a plan!
Other Metrics
14. Extra manpower during high traffic events
Demonstrate / train your staff by example
To start (or reinvigorate) a sales program
To make the case for further investment
