REIMAGINE CUSTOMER SUCCESS

Sasi Yajamanyam
8/28/2021

Each major economic shift from the Industrial age to the Digital age has given
rise to new sets of management practices. Yet, we have not changed how companies
are organized and teams are managed to reflect the needs of the Digital age.
Reimagine Customer Success explores how to design organizations that manage
customer relationships, with a focus on organization-wide alignment around the
customer and what success means to them. In this book, you’ll learn about a new
model for customer success, with some key insights focused on:
 * * Building a common understanding of customers.
   * Transforming organizational models in an effort to deliver exceptional
     customer experience.
   * Changing how customer-facing functions are managed – who is hired, how work
     is done, and which system investments are made.

If you believe customers are the growth engine for your company, want to bring a
customer-centric mindset to life, or are looking for a framework to bridge the
organizational silos, Reimagine Customer Success is a long overdue addition to
your professional library. Customer success is not just a function, it is the
promise we make to customers.

CUSTOMER EDUCATION: WHY SMART COMPANIES PROFIT BY MAKING CUSTOMERS SMARTER



Adam Avramescu.  January 2019.  In paperback and Kindle editions.

Today’s software companies can’t afford to be passive with their customers. As
software moves to the web and becomes more consumerized, software companies can
only grow if their current customers renew and grow over time. Otherwise those
customers will leave, creating a “leaky bucket” of revenue.

So what are smart, innovative companies doing before they end up with severe
churn problems? Forward-thinking companies invest in Customer Education early as
a way to drive customer growth and maximize lifetime value in a scalable way.
Over time, this function has the potential to differentiate a company in the
market.

Consider this book a survival guide to investing in a Customer Education
function, including:

 * * * * How to drive a Customer Education strategy across your customer
         lifecycle
       * Tips for creating killer content that will actually lead to customer
         performance
       * What tools to implement as part of your technology stack
       * Measurement strategies for improving your content and showing ROI

THE OUTCOME GENERATION: HOW A NEW GENERATION OF TECHNOLOGY VENDORS THRIVES
THROUGH TRUE CUSTOMER SUCCESS

Paul Henderson.  Red Raven Books; The Copy Collective 2018.  In Kindle,
Paperback and Audio editions

Stand aside, we’re coming through!

That’s the cry of a new generation of technology vendors. They have a new
approach to enabling success for their customers. And they’re thriving as a
result.
These vendors all have subscription pricing at the heart of their business. Each
has learned that if customers don’t feel they’ve had success, recurring revenue
doesn’t grow and may even decline.

What makes them different? They have absolute clarity about what the customer
considers success to be. And they’ve built their business around enabling that
success. They know it’s the outcomes for the customer that count. They’re all
members of the Outcome Generation.
This book shows how to join the Outcome Generation. You’ll learn how to leverage
true customer success at every stage of the customer lifecycle. For existing
customers, you’ll learn how to engage customer executives at the start of the
buying cycle–and often create a buying cycle.

You’ll learn how to increase new business (new logo) sales by employing the
third generation of technology sales–selling outcomes. And exactly what type of
outcome to sell. Using the third-generation approach, you’ll create greater
emotional connections, differentiate from the competition and win more business.

You’ll also learn how to evolve Services and Support to focus on enabling true
customer success, and how that’s producing great references.

And Marketing will have a whole new way of attracting attention, creating
interest and engaging prospects.

Most vendors have evolved past solution-selling and its approaches to marketing,
sales, services and support. The Outcome Generation shows how to align the whole
business around a common theme–enabling outcomes the customers regard as
success. And why that allows vendors to thrive! Buy the book now and join the
Outcome Generation.

Your business success is now forever linked to the success of your customers
Customer Success is the groundbreaking guide to the exciting new model of
customer management. Business relationships are fundamentally changing. In the
world B.C. (Before Cloud), companies could focus totally on sales and marketing
because customers were often ‘stuck’ after purchasing. Therefore, all of the
‘post-sale’ experience was a cost center in most companies. In the world A.B.
(After Benioff), with granular per-year, per-month or per-use pricing models,
cloud deployments and many competitive options, customers now have the power. As
such, B2B vendors must deliver success for their clients to achieve success for
their own businesses.

Customer success teams are being created in companies to quarterback the
customer lifecycle and drive adoption, renewals, up-sell and advocacy. The
Customer Success philosophy is invading the boardroom and impacting the way CEOs
think about their business. Today, Customer Success is the hottest B2B movement
since the advent of the subscription business model, and this book is the
one-of-a-kind guide that shows you how to make it work in your company.

From the initial planning stages through execution, you’ll have expert guidance
to help you:
 * * Understand the context that led to the start of the Customer Success
     movement
   * Build a Customer Success strategy proven by the most competitive companies
     in the world
   * Implement an action plan for structuring the Customer Success organization,
     tiering your customers, and developing the right cross-functional playbooks

Customers want products that help them achieve their own business outcomes. By
enabling your customers to realize value in your products, you’re protecting
recurring revenue and creating a customer for life. Customer Success shows you
how to kick start your customer-centric revolution, and make it stick for the
long term.

FARM DON’T HUNT – THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO CUSTOMER SUCCESS

Guy Nirpaz, Fernando Pizarro.  March 2016.  In paperback and Kindle editions

Across entire verticals of the economy the new normal is the recurring revenue
business. Charging customers on a monthly basis, firms with this model have to
play by an entirely new set of rules, rules which generally favor the customer
over the seller. But this new model also opens up fantastic opportunities to
provide and extract more value from the relationship as well. To create that
value business needs to move away from a hunting mindset to a farming mindset.
That change is the new paradigm of Customer Success.

Many business leaders have heard of Customer Success but few understand what it
really means to run their business from the Customer Success standpoint. Even
fewer have the experience to build the Customer Success function and optimize
its performance.

As a pioneer in the field of Customer Success, Guy Nirpaz is acknowledged as one
of the earliest proponents of this business realignment
