What are we covering?
Listen to this webinar where we cover the following topics and much more.
- Why should we discuss segmentation and Customer Health together?
- Let’s start with Segmentation
- Traditional segmentation vs modern segmentation
- No fixed formula
- Why does Segmentation need a change?
- Is Digital CS a segment?
- When should you revisit segmentation?
- Should you think of segmentation not just from a customer perspective but also from the CSM perspective?
- Where do personas and "Jobs to be done" come into play here?
- If your platform is not solving problems for your customers, doesn’t matter if they’re high touch, low touch, or tech touch?
- Customer Health
- What is broken in today's health scores and what should companies focus on in the future?
- Does customer health always = retention?
- Do good health scores mean they’ll stay, and vice versa?
- Why isn't there a fixed formula for CH that everyone can use?
- what should it include? CSM sentiment, Product Usage, Financial health, Relationship health, Service health.
- How is CH calculated?
- Salesforce's 128 variables seems overwhelming. Why did it work for Salesforce, and does everyone need that many variables in a CH score?
- CH can be simple too — usage and adoption of core features
- By applying weightage to lagging KPIs and leading Early Warning Signals
- ML - train based on data
- What is required to develop a customer health score?
Data over time
Data analytics platform - How can you predict churn?
- How does AI or ML factor into this? Can you use them to predict churn, calculate a customer health score, and more?
- CS Platforms give you an ability to do math or run a ML model to create a CH score. They do not help create one.
- How does a young company get started?
- Wayne had 128 variables at Salesforce. What is the downside of a composite CH score?
- Should CH itself be used to trigger playbooks or should KPIs and EWS (early warning signs) that make up a CH be used instead?
