Customer Success team training

Turn your people into a Customer Success team that runs to one standard

Most Customer Success teams are built from people who came from support, sales or implementation: strong technically, but never trained to run outcomes, adoption and renewals as a discipline. We give your team that capability, and one shared way of working. It is an investment in growth, not a fix for failure.

We reply within one working day. No sales pitch.

  Built for teams and CS leaders       Trackable progress and certification       Used by Fortune 500 companies

Why teams come to us

We are not a fixed-product training company

We did not build one certification, or one course, and tell every team it is the answer. That does not work. Teams come to us with real, specific problems, and they need real solutions. Training Customer Success teams is the whole of what we do, and an expert trainer looks at your situation before we propose anything. It is built on the Practical CSM Framework, published by Taylor and Francis and written by our founder Rick Adams, and governed by an independent oversight committee.

Sound familiar?

  • My CS team is afraid to sell and upsell, and that is part of the job.
  • My team cannot handle the difficult conversations. Onboarding slips, and the customer only tells us when they are already angry.
  • We are going through a digital transformation and need a multi-year plan to bring the team with us.
  • My team only puts out fires. We hear an account is unhappy at renewal, when it is already too late.
  • I built a new team from different departments. They do not really know Customer Success yet, or how to work together.

How we respond

The solution is not always the same

Our CCSMP certification is the right answer for a new team that needs one baseline and a shared language. For other problems it is not, and we say so. Every team is different, so we diagnose first and then build the right thing from everything we have.

The problem

A team that would not sell or upsell

What we built

We started everyone at Level 1 to get one shared language, then ran a two-day workshop on supporting retention and growth through Customer Success to fix the immediate gap, before the team carried on with the certification.

The problem

Difficult customer conversations

What we built

This one is so common we keep a workshop ready to deliver. A leader described the problem on a call, we walked through the workshop there and then, and booked it the same week.

The problem

A team inside a digital transformation

What we built

We built CPD All-Access around the team: everyone takes Levels 1 to 4 for the foundation, then team leaders upskill individual people on the specific topics their roles need.

The problem

A team stuck fighting fires

What we built

We created an online-classroom course and delivered it to several departments over a number of weeks. A determined team leader carried it through the business, and Customer Success eventually moved under Operations, which made it stick.

The toolkit

We are not limited to one product

Whatever the gap, we build the answer from the right mix of these.

The CCSMP certification

One professional standard and a shared language across the whole team.

CPD, with custom courses per team

340+ hours of on-demand content, plus the ability to build and assign courses to individual people.

Ready-to-run and custom workshops

About 2,500 hours of content we have delivered as live workshops and instructor-led courses.

Online-classroom programs

Multi-week, instructor-led programs delivered to whole departments.

Bring your own LMS

License our content and run it inside your own learning platform.

SME-authored content

If we do not already have it, our subject-matter experts build it. Workshops are often only part-written until we shape the exercises around your real customers.

Watch the training land, and prove the return

Training a team is only half the job. Team Training Tools give every team leader one place to track certification, assign focused learning, spot who is slipping, and hand leadership a report that shows the return.

Track the whole team. Every member’s certification level, progress and CPD hours, in one view.

Catch risk early. Health signals flag who is slipping or inactive, so you act before renewal, not after.

Assign focused CPD. Pick the courses, pick the people, set a due date. Upskill individuals on what their role needs.

Prove the return. One click to a board-ready impact report you can take into a QBR or a leadership review.

We propose what you need, not just what you asked for

Most vendors hand over a quote and a product. We do not. If Henry Ford had asked customers what they wanted, they would have said faster horses. A subject-matter expert who actually delivers the training is part of every proposal, so we can map the right parts of the Practical CSM Framework to your specific gaps. That is why we often suggest something different from what a team first asked for, and closer to what they actually needed.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is this for growing teams or individuals?2026-07-21T20:44:17+00:00

Individuals can certify, but the Practical CSM Framework is built to close the scaling gap in a team: the shared language and standard method that move a group beyond inconsistent hero-mode.

Can we mix different training levels across the team?2026-07-21T20:44:17+00:00

Yes. Many teams combine access levels by role (Full, Scholar and Basic), alongside Team Training Tools for managers. We help you set the right mix for onboarding, specialists and large rollouts.

Do team members learn at their own pace?2026-07-21T20:44:18+00:00

Yes. All self-paced content is online, so people fit it around their workload. Live workshops and instructor-led courses are scheduled separately.

What reporting do managers get?2026-07-21T20:44:18+00:00

With Team Training Tools, managers get a dashboard of each person’s progress, completion and certification level, to support coaching and accountability.

Can we combine self-paced learning with live workshops?2026-07-21T20:44:18+00:00

Yes, and most teams do. We set the foundation through self-paced certification, then use applied workshops to accelerate behavior change on your real customer situations.

Can we deliver the training through our own LMS?2026-07-21T20:44:18+00:00

Yes. With Bring Your Own LMS you license our video course, co-design an internal plan and exam, and run reporting and certification in-house.

Is this a recognized certification?2026-07-21T20:44:18+00:00
