Leading a Customer Success org in 2026 requires more than just operational know-how. You need a strategic approach to driving NRR, building high-performing teams, and proving CS's value to the executive suite.

Introducing: Strategy & Scale​
Our completely reimagined Head of CS training program, running October 20 - November 7 at Impact Academy.

Over three weeks, you'll learn about the three pillars that separate great CS leaders from everyone else:

Week 1: Lead – Align your CS strategy with company growth
Create an environment where your team can actually succeed. Learn how to work with executives, align CS priorities with NRR goals, and understand the financial metrics that prove your team's impact.

Week 2: Manage – Build systems that scale
Measure what matters. You'll get frameworks to monitor team performance, intervene when needed, and run operations that consistently hit objectives.

Week 3: Coach – Develop your team to excellence
Great leaders develop people, not just spot problems. Learn the coaching frameworks that help every team member thrive, from individual CSMs to Directors with their own teams.

Companies are demanding more from their CS leaders than ever before. This program gives you the strategy and tools to deliver results that get noticed.

That sentence should terrify every SaaS company on the planet right now. And the stock market just proved it. Last week, $300 billion in value got wiped from software stocks in two days. Figma.
