As we cross the threshold from one decade to another, it’s natural to look back at the previous 10 years and try to make sense of events. Putting narrative order on the past decade, a 10-year-period that has somehow remained stubbornly nameless, is quite the challenge, but it’s impossible to make sense of the 2010s without understanding the role of software.

Some people use bait tactics to try to get what they want. They’ll say something just to get you to react. They’re trying to take your power so that they’re in control. A lot of the time, when a customer uses profanity or yells, they’re baiting you. If they can throw you off, get you emotional, or frustrate you, then they have the upper hand. They want you upset.

More and more companies are reaching the tipping point where their human teams can’t keep up with their growing volume of support conversations. Chatbots are supposed to be the fix – providing basic help to customers while taking pressure off the team behind the scenes. But there’s some tension at play. We need these chatbot interactions to be frequent enough to make a real impact on team capacity but thoughtful enough that they protect our hard-won customer relationships.

What do the days after a winter holiday extravaganza look like? They look like lots of wrapping paper trash. It looks like ornaments waiting to be taken down and packed, decorations to be hauled off, mismatched presents to be returned, a diet to be started, and carols that are starting to get on your nerves. Scrooge enjoyed saying, “Bah, humbug” before his transformation; we can certainly identify with his view after the celebration.

Customer Success is transformative. Whether you have a Software-as-a-Service, subscription or membership business or you sell one-off products or services and simply want to do business with your customer more than once, Customer Success should be your driving purpose. Customer Success has its roots in the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) world and my original definition was very much SaaS-centric.
