What Is Customer Success?
In a sales context, customer success covers the post-sale activities used to help customers adopt a product or service, realize value, renew, and expand their relationship over time. It addresses business problems such as rising churn, weak onboarding, uneven adoption, poor handoffs from sales, and unclear ownership of renewals or expansion. Projects in this group often include customer journey mapping, segmentation, health score design, coverage model changes, playbooks for lifecycle management, and key performance indicator definition. Clients may seek independent consultant support when retention is under pressure, a subscription or services model is scaling, or leadership needs a practical plan for post-sale roles, processes, and measures.
