The role of a strong Customer Success Team becomes even more critical after the economic downturn. Business strategies often change as companies quickly realize the importance of shifting their business model to from product-centric to a customer-centric one.

Coping with the new challenge of decreasing renewals and expansions is a reality many companies currently face. However, this is when they should hopefully realize the importance of their Customer Success team.

A while back, I’ve interviewed Nick Mehta, Gainsight’s CEO on the importance of doubling down on investments in Customer Success in economic downturn. Even though the interview was recorded in 2021, it is still very much relevant to most of us.

In this interview, we touch on important topics such as:

◾ The ROI of investments in Customer Success
Recommended customer success initiatives to invest in during economic downturn

◾ Listen to the full episode to learn more.
