In our monthly meetup group about the CS Ops of Digital-Led Customer Success, we spoke in February 2022 about pooled CSMs being proactive instead of only being able to react to incoming customer questions. Brian LaFaille of Google kicked us off with a presentation and Q&A session.

🎞️️ Here’s the recording! And here is the slide deck. Brian mentioned additional slides about how to actually execute the transition to a pooled CS model, which you can see here.

Plus, participants shared some of their takeaways from their breakout room conversations:

  • Working with customer data, and having reliable data, getting it right is often difficult
  • We discussed leveraging a ticketing system (similar to support) to help with client experience in a pooled CSM model.
  • Where some have the intention of getting off the phone and solving issues as quickly as possible, others are using the time on the phone for land and expand opportunities.
  • A question to guide your efforts: is this scalable?
  • Internal alignment
  • Having a support team and resources to help give the customer valuable resources
  • Defining the accelerators
  • For measuring success when you don’t have a named CSM: sending surveys
  • Modeling what leads to retention/growth, vs chasing churn after the fact
  • Everyone likes cocktails by the pool!
