Cultivating a Commercial Mindset

A commercial mindset is essential for customer success managers (CSMs) to thrive in today's business environment. It involves understanding the financial implications of their roles and recognizing that customer success is not just a cost center but an investment in long-term profitability. CSMs should focus on data-driven decision-making rather than relying on hunches or speculation. By mastering the language of data and financial metrics, CSMs can better communicate their value to senior leadership and contribute to the company's overall financial health.
