Nearly every forward-thinking company has now realized Digital CS is valuable for everyone:

Any-sized customers who want a self-service experience

Customers who have worked with you for a long time and don’t need another Quarterly Business Review

Routine tasks where a digital engagement can save the CSM and the client time and effort

“We hit an inflection point, We were running into inefficiencies, and Customer Success Managers (CSMs) didn’t have a CS tool that they could use effectively. We were using a combination of tools, including CRM data, spreadsheets, and a business intelligence (BI) tool—it was time to optimize.”

Sonam Dabholkar
Director of Customer Success Operations

“We already didn’t have enough headcount to conduct one-to-one meetings with every paying customer. And we also didn’t have the budget to hire an army of customer success people.”

Helen Yildiz
Director of Customer Success

“When we took a look at the growth of Personio and all of the service questions that customers had, we had to do something automated or easier where customers could learn from each other. We would have to hire 200 service managers because we weren’t able to take all those requests from the users.”

Selina Hüttner
Senior Community Manager

Elevate Experiences. Scale Teams. Digital Is the Key.

Digital Customer Success is a blend of human and digital touch points that support the customer journey. From self-service resources and automated engagements to pooled CSM models and predictive modeling, digital can turn your teams into retention, adoption, and expansion machines.

This leads to:

  • Repetitive workflows handled by multiple teams concurrently, resulting in inefficiencies and unscalable headcount.
  • A disjointed experience that can result in surprise churn, missing ROI, and low product adoption.
  • Decreases in Net Revenue Retention that impact your bottom line.

There’s a better way.

Proactive

In the proactive stage, companies begin using technology that aligns the business around a single source of truth for customer data. Businesses in this stage are saving time for Customer Success Managers (CSMs), increasing the value delivered to customers, leading to higher Net Revenue Retention (NRR) for the company

Common Tactics In This Stage:

  • Unify customer resources (knowledge base, training) under one searchable destination
  • Launch a community to increase best practices sharing, peer-to-peer support
  • In-app guides to improve onboarding

Personalized

In the personalized stage, teams craft distinct user journeys automated by data. Organizations orchestrate different adoption journeys by role. They also start to engage large user groups and Community cohorts with one-to-many programs.

Common Tactics In This Stage:

  • Pooled Customer Success Programs scale CSM coverage
  • Automated Email Programs Triggered by Data-driven Insights
  • Usage-driven In-app Guides, Surveys, and Product Qualified Leads (PQLs)

Predictive

In the predictive stage, organizations are able to provide a single digital destination to seamlessly connect customers with Community, Product, and customer-facing teams. Customer experiences are powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and omnichannel technology to drive outcomes for both customers and the business.

Common Tactics In This Stage:

  • Multi-Channel Journey Orchestration (e.g. in-app and email in one journey)
  • AI and Analytics
  • Automated Renewal Process
