Happy to get on a call to discuss in more detail,

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 Success

4. Simple customer health scoring
5. Starter KPIs like retention/upsell forecasts, support turnaround
