Breakthrough SaaS Growth with The Jasons

Change management is a whole separate discipline and one overlooked far too often, with no group or team heading up your change management activities.

Who is helping to navigate and manage this change? Join us this month as we talk about this and more and the role of your customer success team as change managers.

Customer success as a discipline is rapidly maturing, yet it still has a long way to go. Many CS programs are not yet delivering full value and more improvements are needed. So, what will you do to boldly lead and grow your CS program in 2020? In this episode, The Jasons share our thoughts and vision for customer success. We talk about trends we noticed in 2019 and layout a bold vision for 2020.

We all know that customer success more often than not starts in the trenches fighting fires with your customers, your sales teams and your product teams and working in that mostly reactive mode and mindset. But for us to help our customers achieve the outcomes that they need to, to be successful, how do we make that shift to being proactive in how we work and then going one step further to being predictive and driving value for your customers based intuitively on where they are in their customer lifecycle and their specific level of engagement and behavior and not having to wait until they call you or you schedule that regular call. You need to figure out: • Why we need to be reactive to start • What are the next steps for our CS teams to grow and develop • What else do we need to look at beyond just CSMs down in the trenches Come join us for this unplugged conversation with the two leading Jasons in customer success.
