Put client emotional state *ahead* of company's convenience/protocols. Give more vocal personalities leadership roles and goodies. Create 1:1 relationship between product functionality and identified stakeholders

1. Attend to customer segment: high touch/low touch
2. Define customer stages, what their experience should be
3. brainstorm key touchpoints
4.ID key stakeholders
5. Automate/digitize lifecycle touchpoints
6. track progress of client journeys

Ca Tech: not so much about the playbook, but about the journey the customer is on. Sales may not log what the customer wants/needs once the sale is landed. Built shared vocabulary and process matrix for addressing customer ongoing needs between sales & CS. Build a library of executable "Roadmap Playbooks". 
Early Warning and continuous risk detection system. Is the customer progressing based on usage data?

Melissa & (vs?) Dan: How do you define "Adoption"?

"Crisp, quality information" so CSMs can get a read on their accounts

Cross-functional teams (sales, devs, csms) come together to define the customer journey

When systems fail, it's personal. Our advocates stake reputation and career on our product performing.]]> 2018-04-10 20:59:15 UTC https://padlet.com/rcoleman4/scienceofcustomersuccess/wish/250492099 mvazquez6 https://padlet.com/rcoleman4/scienceofcustomersuccess/wish/250492327 2018-04-10 21:00:09 UTC https://padlet.com/rcoleman4/scienceofcustomersuccess/wish/250492327 mvazquez6 https://padlet.com/rcoleman4/scienceofcustomersuccess/wish/250492823 2018-04-10 21:02:28 UTC https://padlet.com/rcoleman4/scienceofcustomersuccess/wish/250492823 mvazquez6 https://padlet.com/rcoleman4/scienceofcustomersuccess/wish/250493082 - Remember outside in!
- AUTOMATE repeatable processes! 
- All clients are important but not handled the same
- Stakeholder management important - MUST HAVE MULTIPLE CONTACTS
- use a pilot approach to changing the steps used with clients - it will become apparent if you need more or less in a pilot based off of what is working
- After training and launch identify who your drivers will be and solidify the relationship with them to  get them to do more and adopt faster and get their friends to adopt - bring cupcakes! Let's formalize with Leilani on the budget for this on how to identify drivers post training and launch beyond our traditional key contact and build a process this
- Before you write a playbook understand the company workflow and how work will get done before automation is applied
- Adopt a common dictionary of risks/plays across the company

Indications that engagement needs to be revisited: don't know who the key contacts are, don't engage with the right contacts, don't know the last time we talked with the key contact, clients say we don't talk to them until renewal

Indications that success planning (ROI) needs to be revisited: we don't know outcomes that our clients had to buy us, outcomes not passed from sales to CSMs, don't track outcomes, don't have an easy way to communicate outcomes with client

the emails don't looklike stock /marketing emails - sound like they're coming from a CSM

The customer says "oh, this is a  different type of message"

someone needs to look holistically at how you are touching customers - need to look at CX

Is this the experience we want to be providing? 

Right info at right time

not really a good answer from them TBH
be transparent, but not too transparent


but don't tell people if they are tech touch, high touch, etc...

they do graduate people when level / adoption / etc. grows

they just know what the 3 service offerings are

-customers don't know what happens after the sign a contract
-Implementation/CSM doesn't know what was promised by sales
-All tiers of customers are treated the same

WE MUST:
