No Goals, No Customer Success? Yes!


The other day I posted an article where I said if you don't know (and stay continuously aligned on) your customers' goals, you're definitely doing something... it's just not Customer Success.

This, as you might imagine, is controversial to some.

But check it out for yourself and tell me where the lie is.

Have a great weekend!

BTW: We have two training programs starting this Monday, 4-March, that both deal with Goal Discovery and Continuous Alignment at scale.

If you have customers for whom their AX is more heavily-weighted toward Async/Tech Touch/Self-Service, our brand new Customer-centric Automations Program is for you.

If your customers have an AX that's more Sync / High-touch, then our training on Success Plans is for you.

These programs always fill-up at the last minute! So if you want to join either (or get at least two people from your company and join both), jump on this or you'll miss your chance.

See you there!

I'm on a flight to San Francisco and the person to my left is talking to their colleague trying to find a time for both of them to meet with a customer. I glanced over and saw their calendar and... OMG! Back to back to back meetings, all day, every day. Completely full. Unsustainable. Even worse, it really seemed to be a source of pride for them. Now, I don't know the nature of their business and I didn't keep looking - I got a sense of it and I looked away - but their calendar looked just...
