Those customers about to churn in Q1? Customer Success won’t save them. It’s too late for that. CS works when you set customers up for success from day one—through a seamless handoff from Sales, proper onboarding, and continuous engagement tied to their goals. That’s what leads to retention and drives LTV and NRR growth. But for whatever reason, that stuff didn't happen in 2024… and now Q1 2025 is here, and it’s going to be bad if you don't do something. Forget the ideal: you need urgent tactics that keep customers from leaving. You need to protect revenue—and possibly your job. I hate that we’re in this spot, but reality doesn’t care. Listen, I talk a lot about proactive, customer-centric growth. But in truth, I spend a huge chunk of my time helping companies save at-risk customers. I help them take this low-percentage play—last-minute saves—and turn it into something that works. On January 15, I’m hosting a Zoom workshop— two sessions covering most time zones —showing exactly how I do it. It’s not pretty, and you might hate it. But it works, and right now, you need it. Welcome to 2025. —Lincoln P.S. Got a team of 5 or more who should attend? Email me and let’s talk. .... |
