Who Needs A Customer Success + Education Program?
- Isn’t it only businesses that require customer success + education programs? Businesses of all sizes and shapes need quality education to enable customer success. However governments and agencies also need customer success programs to educate their constituents. Similarly non-profit organizations need to provide education to support their members and constituents success.
- Do you have a product or service you provide for consumers or other organizations? If so then your customers need supporting and educating. Not only that but they will be expecting quality education and will compare it to your competitors. The complexity of the program needed will vary depending upon the knowledge of your customers and the complexity of your product or service. And the level of customer success you are aiming to achieve.
- Are Your Customer Support Costs Excessively High? Educating and supporting your customers to be successful after buying your product or service can significantly reduce your support costs.
- “Our customers have few support requests after acquiring our service, but our sales are falling behind our competitor.” Perhaps your customer success program needs to begin before they acquire your service. Rather than waiting until they’ve made a purchase. Potential customers who better understand your product or service realize the benefits of what you offer. People who understand and feel comfortable with what you are offering are more likely to make a purchase.
“Customer Education is the most underestimated competitive advantage”.
