Customer Success managers across the industry are invited to showcase their business skillsets, win cash prizes, and earn recognition in the CSM Awards this May.
ChurnZero, the platform and partner for Customer Success, has announced the second annual CSM Appreciation Week to recognize the dedication and skills of Customer Success managers (CSMs) at SaaS and subscription businesses everywhere.
