At its most basic, customer success (CS) is the enabling of desired outcomes for customers using a product or service. By anticipating customers’ questions, difficulties and challenges, companies can provide solutions in real time, which can result in benefits on both the revenue and cost sides. Thus, building a robust segmentation framework is crucial for delivering tailored customer journeys and optimizing CS staffing.
An actionable segmentation framework typically includes:
-
Clear definition of each customer tier;
-
Defined criteria for how a customer is assigned to a tier, which will also define guidelines for moving customers between segments; and
- Examples of customers who are in each tier, with key case uses called out and typical personas identified and characterized.
Through a strategic customer segmentation approach, companies can make effective decisions and maintain or engage customers proactively based on their needs.
