“Today, recurring revenue business models are permeating nearly every industry, and companies are realizing that customer retention is just as essential as customer acquisition,” said Nick Mehta, CEO of Gainsight. “We created Pulse to help meet the growing need for better strategies and practices around Customer Success Management. Our collective goal at Pulse is to share and spread knowledge about how companies can double down on customer success efforts through a combination of great people, processes and systems, and ultimately reduce churn, drive up-sell and maximize customer retention as a result.”
Over 200 executives from industry leading organizations will attend Pulse to share best practices on developing a customer-centric culture across the entire organization, and how their companies are organizing, planning, staffing, training, analyzing, cost justifying and automating customer success efforts. A combination of strategic and tactical sessions on customer success will take place throughout the day.
Pulse session topics include:
- Cloud CEO Roundtable: The ROI of a Customer Success Program
- Structuring and Managing the CSM Team
- Aligning Sales and Success
- Partnering with IT to Build a Customer-Driven Enterprise
- Measuring Customer Success and Managing Churn Risk
- Customer Survey Best Practices
“A fundamental shift has occurred in the way businesses today view and value their customers,” said Geoffrey Moore, author, speaker and business advisor. “More than ever, profitability and growth are being linked directly to customer loyalty and success. At the same time, Customer Success Management is still a rather new development, so best practices need to be established and shared in order for CSM to ‘cross the chasm’ as a mainstream discipline across all businesses and industries. Pulse 2013 is a wonderful opportunity to start that conversation.”
