For teams that want to bulletproof their retention, sharpen their processes and put productive playbooks in place. I install the playbooks, the health visibility and the processes you're missing, then hand a working function to your full-time team.
A focused fix, or the full build. Click any playbook to see how the work unfolds.
The starting point: a company where customer success is mostly reactive, with ad-hoc onboarding, informal playbooks and a limited view of account health. New customers are largely left to find their own way after signing, and the team often hears from accounts only once something has already gone wrong. Here's how to turn that around.
Quick wins mapped: A kickoff-to-first-value path with defined milestones and an early "quick win" tied to each customer's own goal, so value shows up in week one, not month three.
The signature move: Identify and equip a senior sponsor inside each account, tying product usage to the outcomes they're measured on. This is what compresses time-to-value the most.
Usage tied to ROI: Complex technical tasks reframed as a sequence of value milestones, so adoption is driven by outcomes the customer cares about, not feature checklists.
Risk made visible: A simple early-warning view across usage, engagement and sentiment, so risk surfaces weeks before renewal, while there's still time to act.
Feedback to action: A repeatable way to turn raw customer feedback into prioritised actions and product input, closing the loop instead of losing it.
If customers sign and then go quiet, a short audit and a 90-day plan can turn guesswork into a clear path to value. Happy to talk it through and share how it works and what it costs.
The deeper engagement: onboarding, reporting, retention and expansion all reviewed or rebuilt from where they stand today, then handed to a team that can run it.
Made consistent: A full onboarding and reporting structure with consistent kickoff, milestones and reviews across every new account.
Early warning: A proactive scoring model flagging at-risk accounts on usage and engagement signals, so intervention starts on data, not on a hunch at renewal.
Churn intercepted: A structured, personalised intervention for accounts showing risk signals: a repeatable sequence rather than ad-hoc fire-fighting.
Aligned to outcomes: A regular review rhythm aligning each customer's goals with product adoption, keeping value visible to the people who renew the contract.
Growth by design: Client-specific growth plans linking adoption to upsell and cross-sell, turning healthy accounts into expanding ones on a predictable cadence.
Made to run without me: Hire, train and lead the first CSMs, with playbooks and training materials so the function scales and runs once the engagement ends.
If you've raised, churn is starting to bite, and a full-time Head of CS feels premature, this builds the function out properly. Happy to walk through the approach, scope and pricing together.
If customer success is on your mind, send a note and I'll share an honest view of where you stand, with no obligation either way.
