About sharing information strategically

Customer Success is about sharing information strategically.

Think about it: one of the many roles of a CSM is to be a bridge between customers and internal teams.?

Taking information from one side and passing it over strategically to the people or the departments that can use that information purposefully is vital for a great customer experience overall.

1). How can you find out relevant information about your customers?

There are several options:

  • Research your customers?(Google, their website, LinkedIn etc.)
  • Sales handover meetings
  • Discovery sessions
  • Kick-off meetings
  • Feedback sessions

Information is always available if you know where to look for it and how to ask for it. However, it is not enough to gather information; you should also strategize how you share it.

2). How can you structure the information?

  • Categorize the information by importance/relevancy/segment (product/experience etc.)
  • Split it into must-know / nice-to-know
  • Split it by which department would benefit from it

3). How can you share it?

  • online meetings
  • face-to-face meetings
  • phone calls
  • emails
  • joint living documents (such as Google Docs etc.)

It's always a good idea track of what was sent and when and through which channel; having it all written down, even if the information was shared by phone, helps avoid potential misunderstandings.

Sharing information strategically is an essential skill in the customer success field. Customers need access to accurate and timely information, so customer success managers need to be able to research and collect data from various sources to get a complete picture of their customers' needs. Once this info has been obtained, it must be structured and organized according to relevancy, importance, product/experience segmentation, or any other necessary criteria. Finally, CSMs must find the best way to share the collected data with internal teams to ensure a successful customer journey. When done correctly, strategizing how information is shared can significantly improve the overall customer experience.
