Challenge

With a lean CS team, Simple Poll was hand-gathering customer data from Stripe, Mixpanel, HelpScout and its own database—hours a week that left little room for customers. It had no automation for journeys, onboarding got harder as the base grew, and it kept missing expansion because it couldn't spot who had outgrown their plan.

Lacking visibility, structure and know-how, we missed out on potential revenue expansion as we couldn't effectively identify clients who had outgrown their current plan.”

With advanced filtering and notifications, now we can easily identify and act on expansion opportunities, allowing us to tap into thousands of dollars of otherwise missed MRR.”
