A Customer Success Manager (CSM) is the person who guides customers to achieve their goals while making the most of the company’s products or services. More than just solving specific problems, their goal is to build long-lasting and meaningful relationships.

It’s like having an ally ensuring the customer’s success!

What is their main role?

Although responsibilities vary depending on the company and product, some examples include:

• Onboarding: Guiding new customers to get the most out of the products from day one.
• Relationship management: Being that key, reliable, and available point of contact.
• Identifying needs: Listening to customers, understanding what they need, and providing solutions quickly and efficiently—even proactively.
• Promoting product usage: Encouraging customers to explore the product and maximize its value in all aspects, providing training, guidance, and resources.
• Designing success plans: Creating personalized strategies based on customer metrics and needs, managing expectations between the customer and the product.
• Ensuring renewals and identifying upsell opportunities: Spotting risk signals, securing contract renewals by anticipating potential obstacles, and suggesting additional products.
• Collecting feedback: Documenting opinions and suggestions and sharing them with the product or sales team.
• Brand ambassador: Turning satisfied customers into brand advocates.

Why is Customer Success important?

Satisfied customers are more likely to renew their contracts and recommend the company to others.

More long-term value, as they will use your product better and for longer, increasing their opportunity cost.

Greater efficiency by anticipating needs and preventing problems, making everything run more smoothly.

In short, a Customer Success Manager doesn’t just take care of customers—they turn them into strategic allies for the company.
