Deep Dive: Building a customer success strategy that works

In this workshop, we dive into what Customer Success really means in a scale-up context, delivering both inspiration and practical insights.

Together, we’ll explore the five key challenges scaleups face—from defining the CS role to scaling processes without losing customer intimacy, building the right team, shifting from reactive to proactive, and integrating CS with sales, marketing, and product. Through lessons learned from real transformations, you’ll gain concrete strategies and avoid common pitfalls.

The interactive exercises help you reflect on where your company stands today, identify your top priorities, and work hands-on with practical tools and frameworks directly applicable to your own cases.

To top it off, you’ll hear first-hand testimonials from founders and executives who successfully built and scaled a Customer Success strategy that drives growth.

Led by seasoned practitioners, this workshop will be in good hands
