80% of our customers stickiness can be explained by good usage. How can we improve on the other 20%? Big data approach measuring ‘engagement’
Ignore D customers, biggest impact/quick win with C customers where engagement is not good, but could be better and usage is good. For C customer, let’s have our learning organization involved, let’s evaluate how we deploy etc.
From a Customer Success point of view, focus on B customer: Biggest bang for the buck
Why is this different? Different as CSMs are not solely focused on renewal, but on engaging with the customer along the lifecycle.
Initially had 19 measures, now condensed to 6 measures
But there could be others (but automate the heck out of it)
What goes into the score – integration of systems – weighting – alerting process
Code Red is when we bring in the big guns (executive attention)
So, what’s next> Scorecard 2.0 will address predictive insights about our customer an help make the CSM focus on what really drives our customer relationship; currently we are partnering with another provider to bring a big data approach to renewals. Pulling our predictive insights into the scorecard to help focus the CSM on customer success.
Prevention of Code Red is critical. How do we do this?
What if they don’t need to rate 6 measures anymore? What if our predictive approach is ‘better’ than the CSM in evaluating the health of our customer? If we free up the CSM from logging all the data and tell him ahead of time what may happen based on an ‘ideal’ customer behavior, we won’t have a Code Red. We will proactively manage to address customer issues before a Code Red happens. Imaging how much time it would free up from the CSM, executives and the rest of the organization!
Relentless transparency
Open accountability
Fearless execution
Start with Baby steps, build out as your thinking around customer engagement becomes more mature and your CSMs really get used to this process (change management)
