CS Pros, What’s the most critical skill for a Customer Success Manager?

One way to think about this is that AI can manage the "what" and "how," but CSMs who excel in uncovering the "why" will always stand out. Understanding a customer's unspoken motivations or fears requires emotional intelligence and trust—qualities that no algorithm can replicate (at least for now).

Customer Success = Value, Not Just Metrics. In today’s world of Customer Success, the biggest mistake many professionals make is focusing too much on internal metrics—those KPIs we love to track for our own convenience. We’re obsessed with product usage, and NPS scores. But here’s the truth: Customers don’t care about those metrics. What they care about are the outcomes we help them achieve. The real question we should be asking is:   Are we measuring and delivering the value that matters to our customers? Sure, internal metrics give us some insight, but they miss the mark when it comes to customer satisfaction and retention. You need to look at it from their perspective: ✅ Are we helping them solve their real problems? ✅ Are we contributing to their growth? ✅ Are we measuring what they truly value, like ROI, time saved, and goals achieved? Until we make the shift to understanding what metrics matter most to our customers, we’ll keep running in circles. It’s time to stop talking about “our” metrics and start aligning with theirs. The future of Customer Success is customer-centric—not self-centered. #customersuccess #saas #cco 

One way to take this further is to align your own team's success metrics directly with those customer outcomes. For example, tracking metrics like "time to value," "cost savings achieved for customers," or "efficiency gains delivered" can create a direct line of sight between what you're doing and the results your customers care about. When both your team and your customers are laser-focused on the same goals, that's when the magic happens. #customersuccess #saas #cco 

For too long, Customer Success (CS) has been viewed primarily as a retention function. But here’s the reality: CS is a growth role, not just about stopping churn. It’s time for the industry to shift its mindset. While retaining customers is crucial, growing customers is where the magic happens. This means: ✅ Upselling and Cross-selling: Identifying opportunities to expand value, not just protect existing revenue.   ✅ Customer Advocacy: Building a loyal base that is eager to promote your product, turning them into long-term partners.   ✅ Expansion Opportunities: Helping customers achieve more, allowing you to grow with them. This goes beyond just "satisfaction." It’s about driving transformation and maximizing ROI. In 2024 and beyond, a Customer Success team’s true impact will be measured by net expansion revenue, customer advocacy, and their ability to nurture customer relationships that are not just about renewal, but growth.  If your CS team is only measured by retention rates, you’re missing out on the full potential of the role. It’s time to embrace the growth-driven, proactive approach that drives true business impact. Remember, retention comes when customers see value. Value comes when you push them to grow. #customersuccess #saas #cco 

One way to take this even further is to incorporate customer collaboration into the QBR process. Consider using QBRs as a forum to co-create strategies or solutions based on the results you're sharing. When customers feel like partners in the process, the value of the session. #customersuccess #saas #cco
