As someone who's been in the CS world for over a decade, I picked this book up to round out my knowledge, understand the current state of Customer Success, and see where things are going. I’m happy to say I was not let down.There’s something here for new CSMs and experienced CS leaders alike. The writing is highly approachable, uses relevant personal insights to demonstrate its points, and thoroughly explores each facet of pretty much every CS-related topic you can think of.You can tell that the authors have lived the CS experience from the ground up. As a former CSM myself, I found myself nodding along to anecdotes about the challenges of getting client stakeholders to attend Quarterly Business Reviews or chuckling at a story about Sales taking over a CS-led customer call. Been there.Beyond the soft skills and daily tactical activities that entail the CSM role, the book covers a broad range of strategic topics: analyzing and utilizing customer data within CRM tools to better understand client health, building internal and external relationships with the right people in the right departments, best practices for driving engagement across multiple channels, the value of personalization, managing retention risks, and much more.Overall, the title is accurate. If you’re looking to master Customer Success, this book is for you.
