Customer success isn't king. It's the emperor. It's what separates the good from the great. It's what turns customers into raving fans. It's what drives revenue in today's economy. But how do you create an unforgettable experience? 1) Listen to customers 2) Learn from your competitors 3) Put customers first, always It's all about delivering value at every touchpoint. If you can do that, you'll be unstoppable. What's your best customer experience? #customersuccess #saas

4) Stop trying to upsell first, focus on delivering the promised value and beyond first, the upsells will follow.

I've said this so many times but being customer centric is so often common knowledge yet not common practice. Or to borrow a quote from 🐶 Jacco van der Kooij "Recurring revenue is the result of recurring impact." Love this post!

Can't agree more! I have seen first hand how a CS team can prevent a customer to churn and actually upsell them for the upcoming product. Legendary play by Joran Hofman. Let this comment be a reminder to be proactive and go talk to your customers!
