Core Objectives of Customer Success Management
In customer success management, three primary objectives are emphasized: risk mitigation, adoption maturity, and expansion. Initially, the focus is often on minimizing risks to improve customer retention rates. As organizations mature in this area, they can shift their attention toward enhancing customer adoption of products and facilitating growth opportunities within existing accounts. This progression allows companies to not only secure their customer base but also strategically identify pathways for expansion and increased value delivery to clients.
