7th Annual CCO Summit (2015)
October 5, 2015 | 6:30 pm PT

There is a new theme that is exploding onto the scene that can provide companies with powerful competitive advantage and off-the-charts customer value: customer success. At its simplest, it means replacing our operational metrics with the metrics our customers are using to evaluate our performance. For Amazon, success isn’t delivering the package to the front door, but having it opened by the buyer. Amazon will be truly successful when it enables buyers to take control of their shipments and arranging for delivery (and signature) when they are home, or redirecting to work, etc. Customer success in a B2B environment is even more important: a software deployment isn’t finished when the power is switched on—it is finished when the customer’s user adoption levels are reached, or the customer’s expected ROI is realized. We’re going to be learning from the best of the best practitioners in customer success and applying their best practices to our own businesses so we too can enjoy greater competitive advantage and dramatic increases in customer value. This meeting is free to CCO Council members. Non-member attendance is only by invitation. Contact curtis@ccocouncil.org for more information. Learn More
