In this episode of the Customer Success Playbook Podcast, hosts Roman Trebon and Kevin Metzger welcome Irit Eizips, a world-renowned expert in customer success strategies and the mastermind behind Keep Your Customers. With accolades, including Top Customer Success Strategist of 2024 and induction into the CX Hall of Fame in 2023, Irit brings a wealth of experience and innovative thinking to the conversation.

The episode dives deep into how small businesses and scale-up companies can effectively retain clients and grow revenues from their existing customer base. Irit introduces her unique system, the Customer Method, designed specifically for high-scale businesses. She walks the listeners through a comprehensive framework for assessing a company's current state, controlling churn risk, and systematically improving both customer outcomes and experiences.

One of the highlights of the conversation is Irit's explanation of her business assessment model. She uses a quadrant approach to illustrate the relationship between customer experience and outcomes, providing listeners with a clear understanding of where their business stands and what steps they need to take for improvement. Irit emphasizes the importance of companies knowing their place in the business lifecycle and avoiding the common pitfall of trying to scale prematurely.

The discussion also covers common mistakes CEOs make, including neglecting to reassess their business regularly and failing to set clear visions and standards for excellence. Irit stresses the critical role of CEOs in leading strategy and maintaining a high-level overview of their company's performance.

Irit introduces her innovative 90-day churn challenge program, designed to help businesses reduce churn rates by 5% to 20%. She outlines the program's structure, which includes 12 steps to gain better awareness of business operations, prioritize accounts, and re-engage with inactive customers. The goal is not just to reduce churn but also to uncover upsell opportunities, potentially increasing upsell by 10% just by opening conversations with customers.

The hosts and Irit also touch on the importance of regularly reassessing business strategies, understanding and adapting to changes in customer value propositions, and the need for businesses to move from a defensive to an offensive stance in customer retention and growth.

Throughout the episode, Irit provides practical advice and actionable insights, making this a must-listen for business owners, CEOs, and customer success professionals looking to improve their strategies and grow their businesses. The conversation is both informative and engaging, with Irit's passion for the subject matter clearly evident.
