Hi Julie, in my experience the buildout of CS has looked a bit different for each company. I start by auditing these areas to diagnose current state, and then prioritize initiatives:
1. Stakeholder Mgmt - what are the right touchpoints with the right people that drive adoption/retention/upsell?
2. Product feedback loop - is CS appropriately influencing the roadmap?
3. Reactive vs. proactive - differentiating Support process from Success4. Simple customer health scoring5. Starter KPIs like retention/upsell forecasts, support turnaround
Here is a great resource from Gain Grow Retain founders that helps you map CS development to startup stages: https://customerimperative.com/are-your-cs-efforts-trending-alongside-your-growth/0 -
Hi Julie,
I took several companies through this transformation to date. here is a blog post I wrote a few months back: https://cstuners.com/the-journey-to-operational-excellence-customer-success-from-early-teams-to-mature-operations/
Happy to get on a call to discuss in more detail,
