Forrester's Look to Customer Success to Drive Growth

Nearly 70 percent of companies with customer success (CS) programs increased customer retention, while 91 percent of companies without a CS programs believe their customers suffer through issues that could be prevented or reduced if they had one. What investments and organizational changes does a business need to ensure their digital services are delivering differentiated value to customers?

Digital business and customer success go hand in hand. In this day and age, if you haven’t shifted to digital services (i.e, if you don’t have software-driven or software-supported offerings sold as a subscription service that is accessed online), you’re putting your business at risk. Companies that do not invest in customer success programs or the technological and organizational structures that support them will struggle.

How do we know this?
