Customer Success is a mindset, a customer-centric approach, wherein the goal relies heavily on customer expectations.

How does CS reduce Churn and increase Renewals?

Renewals and churn are two sides of the same coin.

When customers leave, they churn; when they don’t leave they sign a new contract, which is called a renewal. Having a Customer Success Manager (CSM) is a step towards minimizing lost revenue opportunities by ensuring that existing customers realize maximum value from the products and services they have purchased, and they are more likely to choose to stay with your organization.

Of course, employing CSMs will naturally come at an expense. Before establishing a CS department, a tech startup should consider carefully whether the company really needs one and, if so, whether right now is the right moment for it. However, with the majority of tech companies and startups that offer complex services, CSM plays a significant role in ensuring that customers can utilize your products and services correctly to lead them toward their goals.

Using Customer Success to Expand Customer Revenues

Improving the company’s revenue opportunities fosters growth and profitability and supports the organization to be considered for investors.

However, it would be best to consider some factors before doing so, both for the customers and your organization.  

  • How many customers do you have? 
  • How willing are your customers to work with you? 
  • How many products and services do you currently have? 
  • How many human resources can you designate for account growth, specifically? 

If you are selling only one product and the customer has already bought it, there is minimal room to work on, if not nonexistent, as there’s nothing else to buy. But if you have multiple products complimentary to each other, it’s an opportunity for your Tech Startup to grow from within.
