(+ [optional] how are you going help tackle this in your session?)
Sarita Agrawal: Now, let's talk about what is the biggest challenge facing customer success teams. Today, we all know customer success drives value. However, we have not been able to find a way to measure the impact a customer's experience can depend on many things, good product, good pricing, good experience support integration, many, many different aspects. So if a customer is not happy or churns, it's hard to measure that exact reason. However, what we want to do in this session is help you understand how you will tackle this problem in your business. What are some of the strategies you can put in place to scale your CS function, put measurable goals and measure those outcomes.
