This week, Sruti Satish from CustomerSuccessBox has shared some valuable insights into the direct impact a strong CS team has on customer loyalty, and ultimately, on revenue.
Focusing on three simple steps:
- Lead with a personal touch instead of tech
- Be sure you understand the customer well
- Provide seamless customer success
Although these are well known, Sruti takes things a step further and brings cross-functional team into the picture. She focuses on the top departments that can aid you in ensuring the three steps are well executed:
- Marketing - your access to customers can help them create more targeted and applicable campaigns
- Sales - their understanding of buyer personas as well as the information they have gained in the sales process are strong foundations for building a relationship with your customers
- Product - This is a two-way information share. You have direct feedback on products while they need to let you know about updates and new features
- Customer Support - their information can help identify potential issues within product usage
Having information is vital. Having information that directly help you support your customers is invaluable.
