Recognizing that I am new to the Customer Success role and have no prior experience in SaaS(Software as a Service), I'm attending SaaStr to seek practical advice on how to quickly acclimate to an industry known for its fast-paced evolution, driven by technological advancements, shifting customer needs, and dynamic market conditions.
Shouting out to all CEOs, COOs, CSOs, VPs and CSMs—I’m passing the mic!
Here are just a few thought-provoking questions that came up for me during SaaStr Annual..
1.) What are the most effective strategies for building strong relationships with customers in the SaaS industry, and how can a new CSM quickly adapt and leverage these strategies?
2.) How does the CSM role integrate with other departments like Sales, Product, and Support in your company?
3.) What tools or technologies have you found most effective for tracking customer health and engagement?
4.) What are the key metrics or indicators that you focus on to measure customer success and ensure customer satisfaction in your SaaS platform?
Let's dive deeper together—let’s chat! 💬
Thanks for the challenge Romoke Oladejo Ajoke
I would say the first is #communication skills. You must be able to articulate your thoughts and ensure others are able to understand your intention/message in a clear tone.
People's skills are another. You must be able to understand people (better put, the psychology of people). This is where empathy comes in. Your ability to put yourself in the shoes of another and feel their pain. Beyond just thinking, Oh, we have a great #product, or this issue is clear enough, this customer needs not to disturb us. #Empathy makes you think beyond what you think it's right and see from the customer's perspective. With this, you will be able to align their request with the business standard.
Next on my pocket list are analytical skills, critical thinking, and problem solving. Many times, we encounter #customers who don't know what their problem is. Yet they know they have problems. At times, the description of their problem is different from the reality of their problem.
So in this case, you must be able to analyse what has been placed in front of you, critically examine the situation, and draw out relevant points that could help in troubleshooting.
What are the must-have skills for every Customer Success Personnel?
