Customer Success Summit is returning to San Francisco March 21-22, 2016. Register today!
Part of the Customer Success Summit On-Demand Series
We’ve all had those experiences when buying a software solution that are so bad they make you want to pull your hair out. Harassing sales calls, lack of help when you need it, too much help when you don’t, having to deal with 14 different people, haggling over price, and so many more. If everyone has had one or more of these experiences then why do we keep doing them?
Bill Macaitis, CMO at Slack Technologies, shares this pain and in his session at Customer Success Summit he said the reason all these practices continue is that we are being measured by short term metrics that actually promote bad customer experiences. These “bad metrics” are prevalent across almost every business today and include: # of leads, pipeline, # of opportunities, and margins. So if these are “bad metrics”, what are better metrics that create good customer experiences? Bill believes we should be using customer satisfaction metrics like NPS, CSAT, and engagement.
