DESCRIPTION

The Last Mile from Success to Advocacy: Turning Successful Customers into Raving Fans The Customer Success movement has changed the way marketers think about acquiring, nurturing, and promoting customers. There’s no longer any glory in building your logo wall unless there’s an evangelist and referral engine behind each one. In this presentation, Gainsight’s Anthony Kennada and Influitive’s Jim Williams share new perspectives on how Customer Success drive revenue growth by building and mobilizing advocates. In this webinar you will discover how to: - Identify and sell to the right prospects - Nurture new customers for quicker time-to-advocacy - Build intrinsic relationships that inspire advocates for life The most successful Enterprise SaaS companies know that growing revenue only through new customer acquisition is the less efficient way to scale. Rather, they understand that growing revenue within your existing customer base - through up-sells, cross-sells, and expanded use - is the most profitable way to scale. In fact, Enterprise SaaS companies that grow revenue - and company valuation - by expanding revenue within their existing customer base also know the key to making this work is to focus on - and operationalize - Customer Success.
