Create Value for Your Customers Featuring Teresa Anania

Top Takeaways:-      Customer service is what ties all other aspects of a business together. It is the marriage of sales, marketing, product management and more. -      Customer success and customer service are not the same, but they are closely related. Success is about proactive outreach, whereas service is reactive. But they are both part of creating a great customer experience. -      Never leave the customer entirely alone or cease communication with them, even after the initial onboarding process. Maintain communication to ensure they get the most value out of your products and services. -      Don’t wait until it’s time for the customer to renew their subscription or contract with you to reach out to them. -      Renewal isn’t the goal; the goal is helping the customer get the most value. If you do that, the renewal follows naturally. -      Collect and use data to personalize and contextualize your interactions with your customers. -      COVID-19 has changed customer service. It’s still about helping customers through their entire journey, but individual needs may have changed. Meet customers wherever they’re at and help them recover and plan for the future. -      Care for your employees just as well as you care for your customers. The employee experience directly affects the customer experience. -      Give customers a voice in your company. This is possible for companies of every size and greatly improves the customer experience. Quote:“Our goal shouldn’t be about the customer is buying from us.
