“Customer Success managers are the heart of every thriving SaaS business, but their work is often underappreciated,” says You Mon Tsang, CEO and co-founder, ChurnZero. “As the customers’ coach, advocate, and trusted advisor, CSMs make or break the successful adoption of your product. They drive long-term growth and net revenue retention (NRR) for your business. With CSM Appreciation Week, we aim to put CSMs, their work, and their value front and center.”
Starting May 2, Customer Success leaders are invited to nominate one or more team members in six award categories, each representing an essential Customer Success goal, trait, or skillset. From May 23, public voting will determine the winner of each category from a shortlist picked by ChurnZero’s own Customer Success experts, with winners announced at a live event on May 26. Each category winner will receive $1,500.
The award categories include:
- Growth Driver: Cross-selling and expansion for long-term growth and NRR.
- Tech Trailblazer: Building for the future with new tools and technology.
- Churn Warrior: Protecting NRR with a proactive approach to fighting churn.
- CS Advocate: Championing the Customer Success function throughout the company.
- Engagement Expert: Going above and beyond to provide excellent customer experiences.
- Future CS Leader: New to Customer Success; making a major impact already.
