experience and identity
• Moments of truth

emotional perceptions along

actions/content across multi-
channels

success generating CJ (from both customer +
vendor point of view)
• Focus on outcomes, not product/features
• Create a differentiating CJ (pre + post contract +
beyond renewals...)
• Synergy between human + automation
• Clients move/perform at different speeds
• Deal with multiple stakeholders
• Maintain agility to revise the CJ
*Also applicable more and more to CS in B2C

Segmentation: From Customer Account to Customer Success Value
Customer Account Segmentation Customer Success Segmentation
Main criteria:
- Financial value to vendor (usually based on
initial acquisition value)
- Size of customer (n°of employees)
- Market criteria: sector, geography
What we miss from this approach:
- Absence of customer goals
- Absence of expansion and success potential
- No consideration for success influencers other
than financial
Main criteria:
- Includes value to customer and vendor
- Customer: Expected business outcome/s
AX to get there
- Vendor: High/Med/Low Value: ARR/MRR
Future potential success/expansion
Main Benefits:
- Customers achieve goals, so stay longer, buy more and
advocate
- Vendors grow with their clients

Anticipating Automation
Why automate ? Some Automation Best Practices
Pre-requisites Some Additional Thoughts...
• Optimise the CX
• Provide the right message at the right time
• Technology scales what humans cannot do quickly
• Technology relieves repetitive tasks
• Free time for CSMs to work pro-actively on
success pans
• Definition of goals of automation and related
triggers and actions
• Accommodating tools and orchestration
• Data:
Available data at right time, real time
Aggregated data from all sources
Monitor risks and opportunities
• Automation is not synonymous with uncaring
• Messages, actions and CTAs need to be relevant
and help move customers up track
• Test messages prior to implementing
• Automation is not the answer to all situations
Customer Journey:
• Welcome mail
• Onboarding adoption KPIs
(adoption), CTA when off-
track
• Periodic NPS
• In App messages based
on usage progress
Processes:
• Automatic workflows
• Streamline playbooks
• Notification of users
leaving
• Regular usage reports
to champions
