Top 12 customer success practices for SaaS business

Customer Success practices in the SaaS business. Most of them are relevant not only for cloud technology. We were fortunate enough to learn from SaaS companies and invest in them with excellent customer retention and high sales. Below is some key knowledge on how to ensure SaaS customer success.

1. Customer Success Team is not the only group responsible for customer success

Outflow prevention is everyone's business. Your engineers should communicate with customer engineers, the CEO should welcome as many customers as possible and have direct contact with the largest customers (each client must know the address of the general director), sellers who have signed a contract must monthly check how things are going, and the head of the support service should monitor the base so that customers do not need to update the product.

2 You must make your de facto customers "product manager"

Customer reviews should determine the direction of the product. Make sure your customers know their feedback is important and make them feel like they own it.

3 Important contract structure

All contracts must be auto-renewed with a slight increase in price when renewing. In addition, instead of paid pilots, give customers 90 days after registration. This will lower the barrier to attracting customers.

4 Give adaptation

You should always try to get an advance payment for logging in, but if the client does not want to pay, give him a free registration. Customers are often lost during registration, so it is important to make sure that they understand how to use the product. 40% of customers who did not receive adaptation, refused services within 6 months.

5 The first 3 months predict the next 9

Your team should be especially sensitive in the first 3 months. The customer experience at the stage when they pay the most attention to the product should be good. Be especially attentive and active.

6 Touch, touch, touch

Each client should be contacted at least once a month. To large customers - 1 time per week, and to the most important - 2 times a week. By the way, "touch" is not an auto-link. This is a sincere e-mail, but rather a call.

7 Poor use or reluctance to accept features may be a warning

If a client does not use your product, does not ask you questions (if customers turn to you for help, that's good!), You need to sound the alarm. If the client does not use the new features, contact him, and make sure that everything is in order.

8 Rule

Typically, for a SaaS company with corporate clients, customer success is that for every 40 customers one customer success representative is required. Do not overload the team with a ratio far from 40 to 1.

9 Train the customer

Make your customers better in using your product, constantly training them, tell how other customers use this tool.

10 New features are great, but not critical

Adding new features, albeit great, is not a way to retain a customer. It is more important to make sure that the client understands how to properly use the current functions and is aware of the value that they provide.

11 Your customers are your best new customers.

You should always look for ways to resell the product (new features) to current customers. This is the cheapest source of new customers. Make sure you maximize their interest in your product.

12 Make Sure You Sell the Right Customers

Not all revenues are equal. Do not let your sales team sign everyone and everyone. The sales team must ensure that the customers to whom they sign the contract are well suited for this product. Earning income just for growth does not create value, but simply absorbs resources.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
