Joseph Fortini, Vice President of Customer Success | MineralTree
The Challenge
MineralTree’s growing Customer Success team faced the following challenges:
MineralTree was without a platform to identify accounts that needed extra attention. The team lacked visibility into customer health and the ability to directly influence health scores.
While marketing automation and CRM tools had once sufficed, these tools no longer met the needs of the company’s Customer Success department.
A lack of a centralized workspace increased the chances that client tasks could slip through the cracks. Considering the company’s rapid growth, an effective ‘home base’ for CSMs was a must.
Customer Success Managers did not always have a clear view into new client progress – especially during onboarding and implementation phases. The team was limited in their ability to intercept clients who may have fallen behind.
For the most part client outreach was reactive, rather than proactive. As such the team found much of their time filled with manual and repetitive tasks.
The Process
MineralTree and ChurnZero came together to accomplish the following:
Introduced ChurnScores – The creation and use of ChurnScores allowed the team to access in-depth customer health insights. Best of all this information is available at a glance – via Salesforce, ChurnZero or even Slack.
Segmented Customers – Segmentation allowed MineralTree to effortlessly organize their customers. This dividing of accounts enabled effective account management based on their customer’s journey and engagement.
Automated Previously Manual Tasks – Manual activities were reduced through the automation of common day-to-day tasks and communications. This freed up the team to provide high-touch service to MineralTree’s most valuable accounts.
Provided a Workspace for their Customer Success Team – ChurnZero provides a centralized home for the entire Customer Success team. A real-time dashboard with alerts and customer usage reporting helps ensure that the team never misses a beat.
The Impact
After only a short time, MineralTree has achieved the following results:
Automated communications, known as ‘Plays’, have allowed the team to provide high-touch service across all of their accounts. All without needing to significantly grow their team headcount.
Members of the Customer Success team have found a workplace in ChurnZero. CSMs can effortlessly track new client progress across their entire customer lifecycle – all in real-time.
Segments have allowed the team to offer a higher level of service to their clients. Better organization of accounts allow the team to marshal their efforts towards the right customer sets or user personas.
ChurnZero has provided the visibility and platform to better manage accounts that were showing signals of slipping health. The resulting gains have accelerated growth across the entire organization.
