Absolutely @Emie G,
The more questions you ask, the more you will learn about your client. The more you learn, the more opportunity you have to help them with your solution. So thorough understanding of your client's background, business, their wants/needs is very imperative for a Customer Success professional.
Here is a checklist I created to know more about my customer and their business before the start of their project:- Customer background
- Position
- Country
- Contact info
- Nature
- Problems
- Previous partner
- Expectations
- Level of digital expertise
- Business background
- Industry type
- Competitors
- Challenges
- Opportunities
- Best Practices
- Prospective customers
- Budget
- Decision-making process (Stakeholders & Influencers)
- Vision
- Growth potential
- Goals
- Quick wins
- Monthly
- Quarterly
- Yearly
- Important metrics
- Deadline
- Impacts of missing the deadline
- Dependencies or Related activities
- Key milestones
- Important dates
- Time constraints
- UAT's
- Hierarchies
- POC & SPOC
- Set responsibilities and Accountabilities (RACI)
- Similar past projects
- Risks
- Obstacles
- Advantage
