What’s more, building quickly requires a strong vision, a strong plan, and a strong and efficient operations team.<br/><br/>In this insightful interview, Irit Eizips sits down with Stephanie Berner, Global Head of Customer Success, LinkedIn Sales Solutions at LinkedIn, to discuss the critical role customer success operations can play when transforming a global organization into a thriving and efficient customer success practice that drives retention and growth.<br/><br/>Stephanie provides valuable insights into how to make this transformation, emphasizing the importance of being thoughtful in every aspect of the customer experience. She highlights that the shift from a reactive to a proactive customer success practice is a journey, not a destination.<br/><br/>The core of the interview revolves around the creation of the “Vision CS 2.0: Customer Success Reimagined”, which is a multi-year plan that outlines the vision and strategy to achieve a proactive customer success practice on a global scale. She provides a comprehensive overview of the considerations for creating a CS Ops team and how an “embedded partner” model can be a powerful strategy for making fast progress.<br/><br/>Overall, this video interview is a must-watch for anyone looking to transform their organization into a proactive customer success practice. <br/><br/>Watch the full episode here: <a href='https://youtu.be/ILn3vRxAB38'>https://youtu.be/ILn3vRxAB38</a><br/><br/>◾️◽️◾️◽️◾️◽️◾️◽️◾️◽️◾️◽️◾️◽️◾️◽️◾️◽️◾️◽️◾️◽️◾️◽️◾️◽️◾️◽️◾️◽️◾️◽️◾️◽️◾️◽️◾️◽️◾️◽️◾️◽️◾️◽️◾️◽️◾️◽️◾️<br/><br/><b>Additional Resources:</b><br/><br/>🎥 <b>Video: From Traditional to PROACTIVE SUPPORT MODEL</b><br/><a href='https://youtu.be/K14nqGDb67I'>https://youtu.be/K14nqGDb67I</a><br/><br/>🎥 <b>Video: Proactive CUSTOMER EXPANSION Strategies</b><br/><a href='https://youtu.be/vIIa_OGgRcI'>https://youtu.be/vIIa_OGgRcI</a><br/><br/>📑 <b>Blog: Proactive Customer Expansion Strategies</b><br/><a href='https://bit.ly/3OtW6P3'>https://bit.ly/3OtW6P3</a><br/><br/>📑 <b>Blog: Expansion Selling: A Proactive Data-Driven Strategy Framework</b><br/><a href='https://bit.ly/3SJTxuz'>https://bit.ly/3SJTxuz</a><br/><br/>📑 <b>Blog: Building a Proactive Data-Driven Customer Success Engagement</b><br/><a href='https://bit.ly/423Pyfn'></a></p> <p>👉🏻 Whenever you’re ready...If you&apos;re an 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘥 𝘦𝘹𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘊𝘚𝘔 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦, there are 3 powerful ways I can help you fast-track success while avoiding common pitfalls:<br/><br/>1️⃣ 𝙎𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙡 𝙈𝙮 𝘾𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙧 𝙎𝙪𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙆𝙋𝙄 𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙨𝙝𝙚𝙚𝙩<br/> Track key KPIs to boost CSM performance.
