Mastering Customer Success

Part 1: Foundational Concepts for Business Success

The first part of this book explains why measurement of service activity and outcomes is essential to proving the effectiveness of the Customer Success practice. But that measurement will be difficult if the right foundation doesn’t exist in the first place. So, the book moves into an explanation of how a functioning Customer Success practice is built around nuanced views of the customer base, a deep understanding of the journey they are on, a nimble knowledge of the company’s product offering, and an awareness of the technologies that underpin everything. Before moving into Part 2 of the book, the reader will learn about how to leverage the measurable components of the foundation to manage a book of business, the collection of customer accounts each CSM is assigned.

This part has the following chapters:

  • Chapter 1, Optimizing Your Key Metrics for Growth
  • Chapter 2, Building a Strong Foundation – Key Knowledge for Success
  • Chapter 3, Strategies for Effective Book of Business Management

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.

Great read! "Mastering Customer Success" provides so many nuggets of information to build a solid foundation as a CSM! The section " Strategies for Effective Book of Business Management" was particulary helpful as I evaluated my book of business. The book is well written and I took away many valuable insights that I'll begin to use in my role. Highly recommend to anyone in Customer Success!

As someone who has been in the industry for years, I found this book both refreshing and enlightening.Highlights:• Comprehensive Coverage: The book covers everything from the basics of customer success to advanced strategies for decreasing churn and expanding revenue. The chapters are well-organized, making it easy to follow and apply the insights.• Practical Tactics: What sets this book apart is its actionable advice. It provides real-world examples and case studies that make the concepts come to life.• Focus on Metrics: The emphasis on using data and metrics to drive customer success initiatives is spot-on. The authors do an excellent job explaining which KPIs to track and how to leverage data for decision-making.• Customer-Centric Culture: The discussion on building a customer-centric culture within an organization is invaluable. It’s a reminder that customer success isn’t just a department but a mindset that should permeate the entire company.Considerations:• Geared Towards Larger Enterprises: Some examples and strategies seem more applicable to larger companies. However, with a bit of adaptation, smaller businesses can also benefit greatly from this book.• Depth on Advanced Topics: While the book is thorough, I wished for a bit more depth on certain advanced topics. That said, it provides a solid foundation that can be built upon with additional reading and experience.Mastering Customer Success is a must-have for anyone in the customer success field. Whether you’re just starting out or have years of experience, this book offers valuable insights and practical tactics to help you decrease churn and expand revenue. I highly recommend it!
