Searching for great articles about Customer Success

Hi all,

What a great community

Can't wait to go through the interesting discussion.

Can any of you suggest interesting articles about what customer success is? I am searching for different material to use for an internal customer success transformation.

Thank you in advance

Julie,

I would advise you focus less on the differences between CS and other functions and more on what capabilities are needed across the company to deliver value to customers. Great CS is a company-wide process that requires deep collaboration.

There are a lot of resources out there - I would recommend checking out the ClientSuccess resource center. We post a TON of customer success content - everything from customer success basics to more advanced/strategic topics. It will be a great resource for you!

Here are a couple of other articles that may be useful:

HubSpot - What is Customer Success?
HubSpot - Success vs. Service vs. Support
Crunchbase - 12 Commandments of Customer Success
Salesforce - Key Difference Between Success & Service

Hope this is helpful!

Hi Tiffany,

Thank you so much!

I am currently looking for material e.g. case studies, articles on what Customer Success is and how it differentiates from Account Mgmt and Support.

Hi Julie,

Without wanting to sound too big headed, I've written a couple of decent background to CS articles lately which regularly get shared by people on LinkedIn and get lots of positive feedback, so you might enjoy them:

There are SO MANY. I usually subscribe to blogs of CS companies and leaders. This way, I can search through the long history of articles and find what I need! What topics specifically are you looking for? The more detail, the more someone on this thread can likely find a few goodies to send your way!
