Discover customer goals (Find out how)


There is debate in CS about whether knowing your customer's goal is required.

The debate is between people who believe knowing your customer's goal is required and people who are bad at Customer Success.

If you believe that understanding your customers' goal is fundamental to Customer Success, then you'll want to listen to this week's episode of our Impact Weekly podcast where we do a deep dive on Goal Discovery.

  • Goal discovery framework
