What does it take to be a Head of Customer Success?

Have you ever wondered what it takes to be a Head of Customer Success (CS)?

Three CS leaders was challenged with an interactive scenario where they are dropped in as the new Head of CS at a fast-scaling SaaS company. Watch them discuss how they’d face each task, share their thought process and answer questions from the audience as we go.

Watch the session to learn:

  • how to segment an initial customer base and how to think about segmentation now and in the future

  • what early CS departments should be measured on and how to compensate CSMs and teach the company using these metrics

  • what to focus on once the groundwork has been done
